Sun Bum Texturizing Sea Spray
Baking in the sun whilst you're listening to a Dua Lipa set is all well and good until someone gets burned. And I'm not talking about your face, but your hair and scalp. This clever spray works as a hybrid sea salt spray to breathe fresh life into overly partied strands while also protecting your mane with factor 30, meaning you don't have to worry about getting scorched after a day revelling in the sunshine.
'People are experimenting more with colourful eye make-up as we approach festival season as it's a fun, easy way inject colour into your make-up routine,' says make-up artist Jamie Genevieve. According to Genevieve, one of the biggest trends we're going to see this summer are pastels. This lilac eye wand is a winner when it comes to colour payoff and is so easy to blend with your fingers. As a make-up minimalist, it's truly inspired me to start embracing more colour.

Hair By Sam McKnight Lazy Girl Biodegradable Hair Cleanse Cloths
Those familiar with the hairwashing perils of curtain bangs will know that a fringe is the first place to show signs of greasiness. If that's you, I could not recommend these compostable hair wipes more: an easier, more festival-friendly alternative to dry shampoo, they instantly eliminate oil from the roots and touch up fringes in seconds.

InstaMelt Day Dissolver Wipes
It's no secret that face wipes are terrible for the environment, which is why I'll be opting for a more sustainable option. These dissolvable make-up wipes mean you can take off your make-up with ease when the double cleanse has gone out the window. They're gentle on the skin and kinder to the planet so it's a no-brainer, really.

CeraVe CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50
Taking care of your dermis might not be top of the priorities list. That said a little goes a long way and SPF should be at the forefront of your festival skincare routine. 'I think my main tip for festival skincare is thinking about a spray sunscreen to use as a moisturiser but also as a protectant; these can be SPF30 or SPF50 but as long as you are happy to reuse them every few hours and they don’t sting your eyes, that would be my top tip,' shares CeraVe Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Angela Tewari.

Coloured mascara has been making waves after a resurgence on the runway. If you're wanting for a fresh way to take 0n festival make-up (minus the glitter), go for asphalt blue or berry mascara - it's subtle but statement making all at once.
