5 Waterless Festival Beauty Essentials

Glastonbury Festival might be long gone, but there are still plenty of others lined up for 2023. With most festivals lasting three days and requiring at least two nights in a tent, your beauty products need to work extra hard to keep you looking and feeling yourself. What are the festival must-haves? Dry shampoo is an obvious one, along with a high factor sunscreen and good cleanser to remove glitter and grime from the day.

With the environment at the forefront of most our minds, we decided to make our roundup of the best festival essentials as eco-friendly as possible.
