Top 5 Festival Essentials

With Beach Break just around the corner, we round up your festival essentials in order to make you more Kate Moss than Kate Bush at the student festival.

1. Dry Shampoo

This is a must for anyone attending any festival this year. Due to a combination of sleeping rough, no showers and the great British weather, your hair is going to need every bit of help you can give it, in order to keep those sexy festival waves in place.

HerCampus recommends Batiste (Around £4)
 
 

2. Facial Wipes

Not only will these ensure that your facial routine is not jeopardised, it will remove all traces of face paint and even provide you with a bit of washing relief on day three when odours are starting to become quite potent. Stick to unfragranced brands like Simple, as you’re less likely to break out into a rash and it won’t sting any grazes or cuts which you might pick up along the way.

HerCampus recommends Simple Facial Wipes (Around £1.50)
 
 

3. Wellington Boots

With floods all over Wales, it is fair to say that Beach Break might be a little wet underfoot this year. Unless you want wet, cold feet for 5 days, the good old Wellington Boot is a must! Cheap wellies, which you can pick up from about £15 might last you the weekend… but then again they might not. Changing temperatures from the cold night air to the heat of the bonfires can cause the cheap plastic to break, leaving you prone to leaks underfoot. Invest your money in a well known brand, like Hunters, or Havaianas have recently brought out a new range of wellies, which are fun and flirty with their colourful patterns and are easier on the purse strings than Hunters.

Her Campus recommends Havaianas Wellington Boots (from £30)
