It is the week of Glastonbury so the Music Festival season is well under way!
Glastonbury is the largest greenfield festival in the world, and is now attended by around 175,000 people and is regarded as a major event in British culture.
5 days in a long time and having good festival hair and beauty is obviously key to the enjoyment of your day in the fields. We have put together a little handy guide on how to get through this time looking like a glamorous queen.
1. Wear A Hat – The sun is strong at the moment and if you’re in an open space like a field all day, your skin is exposed to the sun’s harsh rays. It is very important to bring a hat that will protect and cover your face. With so many trendy hats on the market now, it is much easier to find one that will give you that festival look.
2. Avoid Heavy Makeup – The trick to staying rock-and-roll gorgeous during an outdoor music festival is to keep it simple, pretty, and use accessories other than heavy makeup. Tinted moisturisers are a great idea, especially if you can get a good one with an SPF. Try Dermalogica Sheer Tint, it is available in 3 different shades to suit your skin tone. A touch of lip gloss will keep your lips looking luscious all day. If you feel the need to make your eye’s pop, then definitely use a water proof mascara and liner, and only apply a light layer.
3. Cool Off With A Misting Spray – Help set makeup and cool off skin with a refreshing complexion spray, like Ren Skincare Flash Defence Anti Pollution Mist, it is perfect for those hot days in the summer and has the added benefit of anti pollution properties to keep your skin glowing for longer.
4. Apply Sunscreen – Before heading out for a day of music and festivities, apply a heavy sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) from head to toe and make sure you re-apply every 2 hours to ensure you don’t burn or scorch your skin. Nothing ages the skin faster than sunburn. A very good products for this is Decleor Protective Hydrating Milk for Body SPF 30, it is non-greasy so you won’t look oily after applying it.
5. Use Dry Shampoo
In crowded venues and scorching temperatures, it can be nearly impossible to keep your mane looking fresh. Party like a rock star and make sure your hair is clean with Alterna Caviar Sheer Dry Shampoo this sheer talc-free powder refreshes hair between washes by gently absorbing excess oil and impurities while adding texture and volume.
We hope these handy tips will help you keep cool and look amazing this Festival season.
