15 Beauty Products That Stand Up to Desert Temps During Festival Season
Apr 23, 2018
The incredibly dry, hotter than hot climate of festivals, like Coachella, call for long-lasting, low-maintenance beauty products. Think: dry shampoos, double-duty SPF foundations, and earth-toned makeup that will still make you stand out, even when you’re blending in with the background landscape.
Yes to Coconut Oil Stick
The desert is dry AF, but no one likes flaky lizard-like skin when they’re trying to look cute for photo opps. Luckily this moisturizing coconut oil (that comes in a no-mess stick!) melts into the skin for an added boost of hydration.
2. Rit Sun Guard Laundry Treatment UV Protectant ($30): Before you head out to the campgrounds or spend the day outside, wash your clothes with this laundry aid, which helps block more than 96 percent of the sun’s harmful rays. Because no one wants to come back from festival fun lookin’ like a lobster.
