Don't sweat it: We have you covered with everything you need to stay feeling fresh during festival season.
Festival season is upon us. You've got your outfits planned, ticket bought and lineup ready. But as fun as desert and outdoor festivals are, they can be the site of a beauty emergency or two, and maybe there are some beauty essentials you've forgotten to add to your packing list. We have some last-minute product recommendations that will keep you looking and smelling your best at any festival you go to.
If you're attending Stagecoach or Coachella in 2024, you'll have the desert dust and heat to reckon with, plus dehydration and a lack of sleep. If you're camping, beauty shortcuts are even more essential. Allow us to help you create your ultimate festival beauty essentials kit.
You'll need sunscreen, naturally, plus moisturizing skin and body care to beat the dry desert air. One suggestion is to catch a self-tan before baring it all in your cute festival outfits and don't forget to protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses and a hat. Store your deodorant, feminine wipes, anti-chafe stick and more in a clear belt bag so you can stay fresh all day long. Wash all that dust from your strands with shampoo and conditioner, or, if you're in a hurry to make a set time, a dry shampoo.
Below, shop the essentials you'll need to stay fresh and comfortable at the upcoming music festival you're attending.
