Part and parcel of attending festivals means facing the rough and ready. Whether it’s less than optimal sleeping conditions or lack of access to your usual arsenal of creams and cleansers, the summer festivities can be trying times for your skin. Luckily, Bahama Skin, quite literally has you covered.

The brand, founded by entrepreneur Suzanne Jackson, was created for individuals who value self-expression and affordable, high-quality skincare solutions. We’ve picked out their niftiest, festival-ready options, designed to keep you glowing, healthy and feeling fresh, no matter the environment.

While we might dream of a sun soaked weekend, it’s important not to underestimate our star - nothing will ruin your weekend quicker than being a pink sunburnt mess. It’s not just your aesthetics at risk, with UV rays packing potential to cause real harm if not accounted for. Reapplying SPF throughout the day is key to protecting your skin. Bahama Skin’s Glow Sun Stick SPF50 is portable, ultra-convenient and ideal for festival goers. There’s also no need to fret about the feeling of heavy sunscreen or blotches, as the Glow Sun Stick is invisible once blended on the skin.

A warm beer is the go-to festival bevvy for many, but being hydrated is essential to staying the pace. H20 isn’t just needed to prevent the booze from hitting too fast though - it’s a cornerstone in keeping your skin in tip-top shape. A lightweight hydrating product such as Bahama Skin’s Hyaluronic Gel prevents dryness and irritation. With four types of hyaluronic acid in their 5% HA complex, the formula quenches your skin’s thirst for a healthy, long-lasting and hydrating glow.

No festival outfit is complete without a colourful cosmetic routine. Want to make sure your meticulous detail doesn’t go to waste at the first hint of sweat? Prep with the Bahama Skin Matte Day Cream. It contains bamboo powder, controlling oil production and minimising shine by reducing the appearance of pores.

When it’s time to take it all off for your next masterpiece, look no further than Bahama Skin’s Milky Cleanser. It makes makeup removal easy, forming a soft lather to get rid of dirt, cosmetics, and impurities. The formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients including Papaya Seed Oil, Orange Seed Oil, Vitamin E and White Tea Extract, giving you a squeaky-clean canvas.

Sleep is vital for skin health, as collagen is produced overnight to help with strengthening and hydration. It’s no secret that sleeping conditions in the campsite are less than ideal – but you were born to adapt. Woke up with a pimple that just won’t clear? Banish it with minimal effort using Bahama’s CICA Patches. The hydrocolloid patches act like magic to reduce redness and inflammation, whilst protecting the pimple from additional stressors.

There’s no need to worry about those baggy signs of sleep deprivation under your eyes being on full display either. Dance-filled late nights call for Bahama’s Under-Eye Gels, which aid in hydrating, brightening, and de-puffing.

Bonus Hack: throw them into your cooler for an extra cold and soothing sensation.
