Hydration is key
Keeping yourself hydrated is hugely important while you’re out enjoying festivals this summer. Spending lots of time outdoors, particularly when it’s sunny, is a surefire way to end up dehydrated inside and out. Superdrug have a range of health and beauty products to help you hydrate your skin, as well as the rest of your body.
Look bronzed and glowy in all your festival pics this summer with the Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip & Body Kit from NYX. The set includes a travel-sized lightweight body oil, indulgent body butter and high-gloss lip oil, all deliciously caramel-scented and ultra-hydrating. The three products also come in a handy transparent pouch, perfect for holding all your festival skincare essentials.
If you’re a regular festival goer, you’ll know the value of soothing and protecting your skin (particularly if you’re camping!). The Palmer's Tahitian Vanilla Moisture Drenching Body Oil will make a welcome addition to any festival beauty kit. This indulgent body oil can be applied to damp skin after a shower (if you’re braving them), or massaged directly onto dry skin for an instant hydrating boost.
Superdrug’s Vitamin E Hydrating Facial Mist is perfect for giving instant hydration to your face and helping defend your skin from environmental damage. To use, just hold the bottle 15cm away from your face, close your eyes and spritz.
Boogying at festivals can deplete your electrolytes, so it’s important to rehydrate. Liquid IV helps you reset your electrolyte balance with a mix of seven essential vitamins and minerals while on the go. Just pour your sachet into a 500ml bottle of water and mix. Liquid IV electrolyte powder mixes come in a range of tasty flavours, including passion fruit, and the small sachets are easy to throw in your bag.
Skin protection for fun in the sun
Protecting your skin while you’re spending time outside is a must, so SPF is an essential product in your festival go-bag.
The La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune Invisible Fluid Suncream SPF50+ is fragrance-free and kind to sensitive skin. This miniature bottle is ideal for keeping in your handbag or purse, so you can top up your SPF while you’re out having fun.
The Lancaster Sun Perfect Sun Illuminating Cream SPF50 is another highly-rated suncream. Not only does it help protect your skin from sun damage, but it also works to reverse the visible signs of ageing caused by sun exposure. The smooth and creamy formula is perfect for easy application on the go, and it won’t leave your skin looking ghostly either.
Staying fresh while you boogie
Maybe one of the least appealing things about festivals is feeling unclean, especially when you’re a couple of days in and the weather is hot. Luckily for us, Superdrug have a wide range of products to help stay fresh and look great during the festival season.
Whether you’re camping or not, a festival can easily take its toll on your hair. When you’re out and about, you can use Superdrug’s Coconut Dry Shampoo to transform your hair from dull and lifeless to refreshed, bouncy and delicious-smelling.
Speaking of irresistible scents, what better way to cover up the mud, sweat and beer than with a trending perfume? Cosmic Kylie Jenner 2.0 Eau de Parfum is bound to turn heads, with fruity and floral notes like pear, pink pepper, vanilla and amber. What’s more, the sculpted bottle is designed so that it fits perfectly in your hand, ideal for spritzing on the go.
As part of your festival prep, why not get your hair in optimal condition using Dove’s Hair Scalp Therapy and Growth Root Lift Spray? With zinc, amino acid complex and biotin, consistent use can help your hair look thicker, healthier and stronger.
If you’re choosing to shower during the festival (and look, we won’t judge you either way), Superdrug’s Fruity Shimmer Caramel Pistachio shower gel is a top choice. Not only will you smell amazing, but your skin will be left shimmering in the sunlight – perfect for keeping that festival feeling going all through the day, and into the night.
Festival tech for comfort and convenience
Protecting your ears is a must at any music festival, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to get high-quality earplugs from Superdrug. EarHub Music Filter earplugs are designed to protect your hearing without distorting the music, helping you experience everything fully, without doing damage.
If capturing memories is important to you, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got all the necessary phone gadgets packed in your festival bag. Superdrug’s Summer Tech Accessories Bundle is a fantastic place to start. It includes a phone strap, grip, and a suction pad with a stand, so you’ll have everything you need to take amazing photos and videos with ultimate ease and convenience.
