My eyeglasses lost out to contact lenses the first night I sought out a band (Bloc Party) live â you just canât whip your head back and forth with the constant fear of flinging your spectacles at the innocent crowd. This contact lens victory led to another, unforeseen, loss: that of my ambivalence to eye makeup. I mean, eyeglass-less, you could SEE my bare eyes! After that gig, concealer plus intense mascara plus a trusty smoky eye duo became my staples for a concert night out.
Weekend festivals are another challenge altogether. After hitting several music festivals in all sorts of conditions â heat as sultry as the roster’s bands to green fields turned mud puddles â Iâve figured out my go-to skincare lineup:
1. Id Monolaurin Gel
2. The Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm
3. Essence Skin Smoother
Dehydration can mess up your schedule, so packing water is as important as packing an answer to âWho are you listening to?â The same goes for your skin. Tonics and spritzers can be good at making your skin ‘feel” hydrated, but nothing beats the kind of moisturisation you get from a coconut oil-based moisturizer. This baby comes in a festival-perfect travel size, too.
You know what goes with incredibly smooth skin? Gorgeous Dannijo jewelry and accessories! Essence Skin Smoother gets a starring role as an exclusiveâ #âDANNIJOCHELLA gift to celebrity guests as they immerse themselves in the LOVESHACK life!
4. Armada Lip Balm
5. Armada Sport 70 Sunscreen
So, whether youâre heading to Coachella / Osheaga / Glastonbury or your BFF’s show at the local park, make sure your skincare game rocks as hard as you do!
