subject: Organic Skin Care Tips For The Summer Festival Season [print this page] This summers music festivals kicked off last weekend in the UK with Glastonbury and are set to continue throughout what looks like a it might be a beautiful summer. If you were feeling a little under prepared for music in the sun check out our top 5 organic beauty tried and tested multi-purpose products for making the most of your festival fun.
1) Dual Action- make your products work harder. You've only got a few days and a small bag so make sure you track down the best multi-tasking products to save on space and time. We love the OY! Cleanse & Moisturise, a multi-purpose cream that can be used as an organic make up remover, cleanser and moisturiser - 3 in one! If you are more keen on oils try the organic cleanser from Rms Beauty. The newly launched raw coconut cream not only removes organic mascara but works a treat on waterproof varieties too. It doubles as a calming night oil for irritated skin and smooths rough elbows and dry skin.
2) Leave The Hair Care At Home - some of you will admit that your hair is be better on the 2nd day. But stretching to the 3rd is often a mistake. No More!. All Nighter Styling Powder is the only natural hair care you'll need to take to festival. Created by the founders of "hair metal" band Coverboy this is one item that has the right music credentials to make a mark on any music festival organic beauty kit. With a catch phrase "for nights on the town and the morning after", The All Nighter has gained a following stateside with the likes of Rachel Zoe claiming she is "addicted". Use it to absorb oil at the crown, add volume to limp hair or restyle into the perfect bed hair. This all natural hair powder is available in colours to match.
3) Sneeze Fever - This festival season is looking like it may be troublesome for hayfever sufferers. Try one of our best selling supplements to stave off the sneezes mid song. Inflavanoid Intensive Care from US supplement company Metagenics is filled with premium grade extract of boswellia, turmeric and ginger which all work as anti-inflammatories with tumeric being anti-bacterial. Quercetin is a well known antioxidant and thought to be a natural anti-histamine which may relieve symptoms of hayfever. As an added bonus this supplement works as an excellent muscle tissue support and relieves minor pain following intense exercise or "weekend warrior" syndrome. Perfect for recovery from days dancing and less that comfortable sleeping arrangements.
4) Keep sweet - ward of the heat with the Weleda purse size deodorants. Choose from Rose, Citrus or Sage and no one will notice you didn"t queue for the showers. Spray in your hair for lasting effect.
5) Sun's Up - Make sure you replace your wellies in this years kit with a good mineral spf instead. For face replace your day cream with the John Masters SPF 30 natural sun cream. This is suitable for even the most sensitive skin and doesn't leave a white film. Lavera SPF15 is a great natural sunscreen spray that is easy to apply to the whole body. Remember with sunscreen a higher factor is not necessarily better - it is the application that is important. Make sure you use plenty and apply often. Once a day is not enough - even when using factor 50.
