The Highlight by LOOKFANTASTIC: May/June 2022

BEAUTIFY Festivals can often be fun for everyone except your skin. “The sunscreen, sweat, makeup and lack of washing facilities can definitely make skin break out following a festival weekend,” says Dr Fiona Worsnop, consultant dermatologist at Stratum Clinics. “Reusable cleansing wipes are a goto. After cleansing, remove impurities using a chemical exfoliant followed by a non-comedogenic (or nonspot-forming) moisturiser.” You might just about get away with skimping on your double cleanse, but there’s one step you can’t compromise on. “Sunscreen is absolutely vital when attending a festival. Long hours with no cover from the sun is a recipe for sun damage disaster. Apply an SPF 50+ sunscreen at least every two hours.” Dr Worsnop’s advice for keeping afterparty-induced eye bags at bay? “Anything cooling for ten minutes will instantly wake up tired eyes; think cucumber, an ice mask in your drinks cooler or even just some clean ice cubes. Applying a hydrating eye balm to the eyelids when you do manage to catch a few Zs will also be helpful!” Grab your sunnies as festivals are making a comeback.
