Summer is almost here, and so are all the music festivals! If you're planning on hitting up one of these awesome events, be sure to follow these essential tips:
1. Don't forget sunscreen
No matter what time of year it is, it is important to protect your skin from the potentially dangerous rays of the sun. Put on a generous layer of sunscreen before you leave your house. Bring the bottle along with you as well so that you can reapply it throughout the day. Don't forget to wear sunscreen on your face as well as your body. Nivea Light Feel Daily Veil Sunscreen is a great choice since it provides excellent protection from the sun and won't leave your face feeling oily.
2. Help your skin look its best
Most major music festivals take place during the summer months when temperatures outside are high. As a result, you will most likely want to wear shorts to the event. One of the best ways to keep your legs looking great is by wearing a BB cream such as the Jergens BB Perfecting Skin Cream. Not only can this cream hydrate your skin but it can also help hide imperfections, helping your legs to look their absolute best. The results of the cream are cumulative so be sure to apply it in the days leading up to the festival as well as on the day of the event.
3. Bring products to help you stay clean
Music festivals can be dusty, sweaty, and even muddy, depending on the weather outside. Bring along products that can help you stay clean such as hand sanitizer or baby wipes. Not only can these products be used to clean your body if you don't have access to a shower but they can also be used to sanitize your hands after using a portable toilet. For hand sanitizer, consider looking for the Thank You brand. In terms of cleansing wipes, the Clean and Clear Deep Action Wipes are a great choice.
4. Wear practical shoes
As tempting as it might be to wear a cute pair of high heels that you just bought or a pair of open-toed sandals, you should opt for more practical footwear instead. Anytime you are in a crowd of people, there is a chance that your feet will get stepped on. Wearing the right shoes can help provide the protection that you need while offering plenty of support.
5. Avoid wearing jewelry
Although wearing jewelry can be an attractive way to accessorize your outfit, it is best to leave it at home when you go to a music festival. The last thing that you want is to have to spend all of your time worrying about losing your favorite jewelry. Instead, you can still add decorative accessories to your skin by wearing temporary tattoos. There are a lot of different designs on the market that can be the perfect finishing touch to your outfit. You may even want to look into glow-in-the-dark tattoos from Glo Tats to really make a statement.
6. Choose your clothing carefully
Most people opt for denim shorts and casual t-shirts. This type of outfit is usually a good choice since it is cool and comfortable. Just make sure that whatever you wear is made from breathable fabric and that it doesn't bind or make you uncomfortable. If you are going to be staying at the festival overnight, be sure to pack warm clothing. Temperatures can drop once the sun goes down.
7. Keep your makeup light
Try to avoid piling on makeup. Instead, use a light touch to accentuate your features. For instance, Palmer's CC Cream not only can help mask minor blemishes but can also provide protection from the sun. Tinted lip balm from Burt's Bees is a great way to add a little color to your look. Finish it all off by applying Elizabeth Mott So Big mascara to accentuate your eyes.
8. Carry the right bag
There is no need to bring along a giant purse or handbag to a festival. Instead, keep your bag small and compact. It should be large enough to hold all of your essentials including your sunscreen, phone, money, cleaning wipes, and any other small accessories that you need. That way, you have all of the essentials on hand when you need them.
9. Choose easy hairstyles
The key to success with your hair at a festival is to keep things casual. In most cases, putting your hair up is easier than leaving it loose. Try wearing it in a messy bun on top of your head or braiding it. Many people now also like to use UV hair streaks. You may even want to toss on a hat to add a touch of style while at the same time protecting your head and face from the sun.
10. Drink plenty of water
Most festivals serve alcohol. If you choose to have a few drinks, don't forget to drink a lot of water as well. Staying hydrated is absolutely essential anytime that you are out in the sun. Also, periodically stop at a food truck to grab some tasty treats. It is important to provide your body with enough calories to give you the energy you need to get through the day.
