Glastonbury bound? Here are the beauty essentials to pack
Forget complex contouring and multi-step skincare routines, if our faces survive three days of sun, rain biodegradable glitter, cider mist, dust and rogue sleeping bag zips at Glastonbury we are surely winning? But with the UK's biggest (and arguably best) festival around the corner, it's about time to start editing your beauty bag down to the real ride-or-dies - the things that will keep you going - and glowing when your bathing access is more wet-wipe than waterfall shower. If time is short, no problem. Here are my picks. Whether it's blazing hot. British drizzle or back-to-back clouds, SPF is a must. Opt for those that won't slide off by 3pm, even if you're dancing really hard. Ultra Violette Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial Skinscreen SPF50, (£34, is one of my faves; super-light, it doesn't pill under makeup. Top up as the day goes on with Garnier Vitamin C Over Makeup UV SPF50 Mist, (£12.99, Featherweight, it brightens tired skin. Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF30, (£35, meanwhile, is a shimmering, hydrating, coconut-infused beauty that delivers supple, gleaming festival-worthy limbs. And remember nothing ruins the fun like burnt lips, so don't forget your Ultrasun Lip Protection SPF50 (£8, This year I discovered Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Enhancing Tint, (£37, a self-proclaimed ' Fresh, luminous and light coverage tint in a feel-good formula made of 78% skincare ingredients.' Not only is it pocket-friendly, but it is also packed with superlative skincare, plus looks and feels like your own skin - but better. Delivering plump-ness but also support, it is supple, but not slippery. I don't even need to powder . Heaven! Clarin's Skin Illusion Tinted Moisturiser SPF25, (£45, is another trusty option. I'm more than a little captivated by Prada's Dimension Eyeshadow in Poetry, (£67, The payoff is mega and I love the metal foil effect of that pink. If you can't wear sparkle at Glastonbury, where can you? Charlotte Tilbury's new Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Sticks, (£30, are great multitaskers. I wear mine not just on my cheeks, but my lips and eyelids too. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara, (£12.99, is a total winner for festivals. Last but not least, makeup artist Francesca Abrahamovitch told me about ONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray (£15 at and I have loved it ever since. It holds make up in place like a dream, keeping it looking fresher for longer. We're not washing our hair at Glasto are we? Typebea G5 3-in-1 Dry Shampoo (£26, refreshes roots and strands without a whiff of residue, but also incorporates a host of clever scalp-nurturing actives. Hair by Sam Mcknight Lazy Girl Dry Shampoo (£24, is another great option, and smells like a dream. When it comes to festival styling, keep things simple. Hershesons Air Dry Spray with UV Protection, (£18.00, enhances your natural texture without salt, crunch or stickiness and now comes with built-in UV protection to guard against colour fade and sun damage. Just don't forget your Tangle Teaser! (£15, Your thirsty festival skin will love hot new South Korean import Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb, (£32, With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it can revitalise even the most lacklustre, dehydrated faces fast. When it's 3am and you're in a tent, wet wipes are the way to go. Waterwipes, (£2.99, are plant-based, plastic free and suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Soak them in Bioderma's mini Sensibio H2O Cleansing Micellar Water, (£6.50, to remove glitter and waterproof makeup. Between 24/7 dancing, warm pints of lager and queues for the water taps, festival dehydration is real. Hot new Aussie import Swiish Recharge Hydration + Electrolytes, (£20 for 20, is formulated for hydration and recovery, working to replenish lost electrolytes fast. Tip one of these cute little sachets into your water bottle daily and pretend it's wellness, not survival.

It soaked into my skin quickly, and it felt light on my skin." The Importance of SPF WITH summer finally here, here's everything you need to know about SPF. 1. Protects Against UV Radiation: SPF shields your skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, specifically UVA and UVB rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. 2. Reduces Risk of Skin Cancer: Regular use of SPF can significantly lower the risk of developing various types of skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. 3. Prevents Premature Aging: UV exposure accelerates the aging process, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. SPF helps maintain youthful skin by blocking these aging effects. 4. Maintains Even Skin Tone: Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Using SPF regularly can help prevent these issues, leading to a more even and radiant complexion. 5. Essential for All Skin Types: Regardless of skin type or tone, everyone is susceptible to UV damage. SPF is crucial for all skin types to maintain healthy skin and prevent damage. 6. Everyday Necessity: UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows, making daily SPF application essential, even on cloudy days or when indoors. But that's not all, because the are plenty of SPFs available at Boots that you can snap up for free using this discount from Quidco. Korean beauty favourite Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics is currently £13.95 for 50ml and provides SPF50 protection and is free after cashback.

How to choose the right sunscreen for your skin type, plus tried and tested favourites
Sunscreen is not only a summer staple. When it comes to daily skincare, we all know that facial SPF is non-negotiable, and the sun's UV rays cause damage all year round. However, the UV index tends to be much higher in summer, so sun cream is more important than ever during the warmer season. Wearing a daily SPF with a minimum of SPF30 is the best way to protect our skin, but it can be tricky to know where to start, particularly with so many formulas on the market. Just like moisturisers, serums and face washes, one size doesn't fit all. It's important to find an SPF that's tailored to your skin type or specific concerns. Whether you have acne-prone, sensitive or oily skin, the latest formulas are made using innovative ingredients that don't clog the pores or leave a white cast over darker skin tones. From Murad and La Roche Posay to Ultrasun and Garnier, we've rounded up the best tried and tested SPFs for various skin types below, as recommended by our team of beauty editors and experts. How we tested This is a collection of tests from several articles, but all of these products were tested on these different skin types for days at a time. We assessed how easy it was to apply each product, if it caused make-up to pill, and ultimately, whether or not it worked well with its given skin type. Best sunscreen for your skin type

The festival beauty essentials you need for Glastonbury, Download and more
Whether you're a Glastonbury ticket holder (lucky you), a rock fan heading to Download or attending Reading & Leeds for the first time, festival season is here – and when it comes to packing, preperation is key. As well as non-negotiable essentials like tents, sleeping bags, SPF and camping chairs, your checklist shouldn't neglect the little luxuries that can make camping in a field for four days slightly more bearable (hello air beds, your favourite pillow, earplugs or Hunter wellington boots à la Kate Moss and Alexa Chung). While the less high maintenance among us might get by with just a toothbrush and baby wipes (no judgement here), others require a little more TLC in the camping field. From cordless hair tools and dry shampoo to give some oomph to three-day old locks to instant tan or tinted SPF's for coverage and UV protection, there's a host of beauty essentials that can make your time in a tent a whole lot smoother (particularly when you're limited to shared showers and portaloos with no privacy). To help ensure you don't forget anything, we've rounded up the beauty essentials you need for your next festival (after all, we can't all glamp in a luxury bell tent with the A-listers). Your usual skincare regime will likely be neglected while your camping in a festival field. Streamline your routine to just Garnier's miscellar water for removing make-up and cleansing. Complete with reusable eco pads, the gentle formula cleanses skin without stripping it of moisture. A festival make-up bag hero. While a cordless hair tool may not be deemed an 'essential', it can certainly make the experience a lot nicer. Adding texture and life back into three-day old hair, BaByliss's cordless waving tool creates soft, loose waves for an effortlessly tousled look (even if you haven't showered in a while). Charlotte Tilbury's airbrush setting spray is a cult classic for good reason. Keeping make-up in place for up to 16 hours, you can apply in the morning and still look fresh in the dance tent at 2am. The water-like formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients (think aloe vera, hydrating Japanese green tea and resin) to prevent clogged pores and avoid your make-up settling into fine lines. You're sure to appreciate the fresh, floral fragrance on day three in the field, too. One of our favourite face SPFs for 2025, CeraVe's facial moisturising lotion ticks every box. The consistency is more like a traditional moisturiser, though it isn't sticky or greasy on skin. 'You're left with is a healthy-looking glow, and I love how make-up wears on top of this formula, and the finish of it means it makes a great primer,' our beauty reviewer said. 'Plus, like all CeraVe products, it's bolstered with hardworking ingredients that nourish, protect and hydrate your skin.' A non-negotiable for festival season that saves you packing both a moisturiser and SPF. No festival beauty haul is complete without dry shampoo. Unlike other formulas, Living Proof's dry shampoo actually cleans hair while eliminating oil, sweat and odor (perfect for camping in a field). Freshening up your tresses between washes thanks to the brand's triple-action cleaning technology, it releases a fragrance that lingers throughout the day. Whether it's a day event or camping affair, you're far more exposed to the sun at a festival than your usual day-to-day, making a body SPF an essential. Offering 12 hours of hydration, Hawaiian Tropic's body SPF is powered by cocoa and shea butter. 'It's not sticky or greasy; it sinks in quickly and leaves the skin feeling supple and nourished,' our beauty expert said in their review. At less than £10, the dual purpose formula is pleasingly affordable, protecting your skin from UV's rays during a long day dancing in the sun. If you need a quick wipe down and freshen up, then baby wipes are a handy addition to your festival arsenal (especially if the showers aren't up to scratch). This Pampers pack promises to nourish, soften and hydrate skin. Plus, there's 52 wipes inside meaning you can easily share a pack among friends. Burning your lips is never fun, particularly at a festival. Enter Ultrasun's ultralip balm. The SPF30 formula is designed specifically to protect your lips from UV rays while moisturising any dryness. Fragrance free and sheer, it can be used over lipstick or gloss and topped up throughout the day.
