Sunscreen isn’t the only thing you will need during festival season.

Festival season is here and although we know you are probably deeply invested in preparing your best festival outfits, curating your groovy playlist, and scheduling party plans, we also know that your skincare products aren’t the first thing that come to mind when heading to your long weekend music-fest.
You might’ve already packed your sunscreen — the number one skincare champion, but there are a few other must-haves when facing very dry, hot weather where essentials like sinks will be inaccessible.
Instead of wondering about the atrocious effect the dirt, sun, and dehydration might have on our skin , below is a list of 6 festival skincare must-haves that we at BOND OFFICIAL recommend to protect your skin.
Micellar Face Wipes
While face wipes shouldn’t replace your everyday cleansing routine, it is probably the best product you didn’t know you needed. Micellar-based wipes are a more efficient and effective way to cleanse and remove dirt from your skin while out in the sun all day with little or no access to a sink. The simple on-the-go face wipes are packed with purified water that instantly re-hydrate your skin.
For sensitive skin, the Unscented Simple Kind to Skin micellar cleansing wipes is hypoallergenic and gentle - all while cleansing and restoring moisture.
2. Hydrating Face Mist
After cleansing, staying cool and refreshed is the priority. Having a face spritz on the go is a must-have during festival season. Natural botanical products like Herbivore’s Coconut Water infused hydrating face mist is formulated for all skin types. The moisture delivery is instant.
3. Lip Balm
Your lips can easily brittle and crack in cold and dry weather, so no matter where you are, lip balms are an essential. Nourish and soften your lips after every performance with Lab Series Lip Tech or Molton Brown’s Vitamin Lipsaver .
4. Moisturizers
Having a moisturizer handy is a given when heading to any festival weekend, particularly when out on the open field. Though any moisturizer will get the job done, the best types to pack for the occasion are the uber lightweight, and soft consistency creams. BOND OFFICIAL recommends trying out one of the following: Dr. Barbara Sturm face cream for men , CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, or Lab Series all-in-one Face Treatment .
5. Sunscreen
The number one skincare champion that should be in everyone’s bag is sunscreen for very obvious reasons — you will be out in the sun all weekend and protecting your skin from the harsh sun rays is a must. We recommend using sunscreen with an SPF level of 30 or more. EltaMD UV Sport Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 does the job.
6. Hand Lotion
An easily forgotten skincare regimen is a deeply hydrating and nourishing hand lotion. During festival season your hands will be a little overworked, so don’t forgot to use your favorite travel friendly hand lotion while staying active.
BOND OFFICIAL recommends Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve .
