What’s the perfect festival skincare routine?
Festival skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on a few simple steps to keep your skin clean, hydrated and protected until you get home:
Step one: Cleanse. Remove dirt, glitter, sweat and makeup to prevent breakouts.
Step two: Hydrate. Keeping your skin moisturised is essential to counteract dryness and irritation.
Step three: Protect. Festivals are often in summer so it's important to protect your skin with SPF.
