Absolute must-haves for festival season grooming

With festival season well and truly underway, you may have already been to one or two, and there are still plenty more to come. Most of us who’ve been fortunate enough to go to festivals will have been unfortunate enough to have experienced life in the campsites. If you’re all too familiar the grim realities of limited shower facilities where mud, rain, and general filth abound, then you’ll know how coveted a wet wipe or dry shampoo can become after a couple of nights of sleeping outdoors. To make sure you’re 100% covered, for this post, we’ve assembled a collection of some of our handiest festival season grooming must-haves.

    Wet wipes are a festival Godsend and anyone who’s experienced festivals first hand knows it. Lower quality brands often contain ingredients which are harmful to the skin with frequent use. Using a specially designed facial wipe, like the Glycolic Exfoliating and Resurfacing Wipe from Anthony makes sure you’re thoroughly cleansed and your skin will thank you for it.
