Festivals, tons of parties and open-air concerts; we’re in the middle of summer, and it seems like there is something going on every weekend that one can not possibly miss out on. But we all know the symptoms of these events: sweat, rain, beer showers, annoying mosquito bites, ketchup stains and not to mention the sleepless nights.

None of these things spell out beauty; they’re just typical festival features we all have to deal with. To keep you as comfortable as possible during these fun summer adventures, I’ve put together a list of products that will make your festival experience unforgettable this summer.

Wow, you smell so good!

Personal hygiene suffers to an extreme degree at a festival, that’s one thing that’s for sure. Let’s not kid ourselves, attending a festival is definitely not a trip to the spa. Completely letting go of all personal care is not necessary either. Let’s start with a shower gel that produces lots of fun foam and smells fantastic. The Body Shower Gel from Rahua should become your new best friend during the festival season. It nourishes and invigorates body and mind in a natural way and smells of the irresistible ungurahua oil.

And your hair looks insanely beautiful

Greasy hair doesn’t look sexy, it just looks greasy. Thank heavens for dry shampoo. The Organic Hair Power by LuLu Organics comes in adorable Jugendstill-like packaging and effectively neutralizes nasty odors such as smoke, making your locks smell like a hint of lavender and sage or jasmin instead. The talc-free formula absorbs excess oil and product from your hair, and makes it look light and fluffy without weighing it down.

Red lips should be kissed

Make up at festivals can be a hassle. It usually gets smeared off within a few minutes, and sweating profusely (or pouring rain) doesn’t improve matters either. The only make up product I take with me too festivals, is therefore a red lipstick: it makes you look good no matter what the circumstances. Wild Child by ILIA Beauty offers the perfect shade of red for a fiery festival.

Sun, sun, sun and a whole lot of fun

The most important item on this list is sunscreen. If I had to choose just one product to take with me to any outdoors event during the summer, it would just be that.  Eco by Sonja’s natural sunscreen with SPF 30 leaves you well protected, making sure you won’t be bringing home a raging sunburn when all the festivities are over.
If you manage to pack a toothbrush and some toothpaste, you’re all set for the perfect weekend on the road, or in a tent surrounded by thousands of party people.

Enjoy the beautiful summer time, preferably with a cool drink in hand and your feet in the water! [/column] [column size=”1/2″]
