4 Tips to Have the Best Festival Experience EveR
tip 1: Make a plan.
If you’ve ever seen a festival lineup, you know that there are often dozens of artists that will be performing over the course of the day or weekend. With so much to do and see, it’s helpful to make a plan. Before you head to the festival grounds, gather your crew and write down a rough schedule for each day. Make sure to include which performances you want to see (and the stages you’ll need to go to), what activities you want to try, and when you’ll take a break for food or rest. That way, you can make sure you check off everything on your festival bucket list!
Whether you’re a festival pro or you’re attending one for the first time, it’s important to take a few steps to make sure you’re prepared, safe, and able to have as much fun as possible. We’re sharing four simple tips that will help you have the best festival experience ever. Check them out below!
tip 2: Get your skin festival-ready.
When you’re at a music festival, the last thing you want to worry about is your hair removal routine. Luckily, Nair™ hair removal products are your secret weapon, giving you smooth skin that lasts days longer than shaving. Nair™ puts you in control of your hair removal, so you can remove as much or as little as you want, in any place you need it. Whether you prefer to keep some areas au naturale, just need a bit of shaping, or want to go completely hairless, you can find the perfect product for your needs. That way, you can feel amazing in your skin all weekend long!
tip 3: Pack the right supplies.
Festival camping requires a number of supplies, but even if you’re staying in a hotel or only attending for one day, it’s still important to make sure you have everything you need. At the very least, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen, a small first aid kit (with a few bandaids and cleansing wipes), a portable phone charger, sunglasses, hand sanitizer, and a reusable water bottle. If you have extra room, you should also consider bringing a personal fan, dry shampoo, bug spray, and an outdoor blanket.
tip 4: Prioritize your safety.
Sure, the point of going to a music festival is to have fun—but in order to do that, you need to stay safe, too! With so much going on during a festival, it’s unfortunately easy to get separated from your friends, become dehydrated, or injure yourself in a large crowd. That’s why it’s crucial to prioritize safety (for both yourself and your friends!). Need some quick tips to get you started? First, pick a specific location where you and your friends can meet if you become separated and aren’t able to contact each other. You should also follow a buddy system, so no one is left alone at any time. While you’re at the festival, remember to drink plenty of water, hang out in the shade when you can, and frequently reapply sunscreen. By taking a few simple safety precautions, you can avoid any major problems and focus on having the best experience possible!

Self-Care Is the Secret to Having the Best Festival Experience—Here’s Why
Do a face mask.
Nothing says “relaxation” like doing a face mask. Not only will this act of self-care get you in a calmer headspace, but it’ll also leave you with glowing skin! So, put on your coziest bathrobe and lather on your favorite mask.
From picking out the perfect outfit to perfecting that new makeup look you saw on social media, getting ready for a music festival can be overwhelming. To combat stress, set yourself up with a self-care night before so you can feel like the best version of yourself all festival long. Below, we’ve compiled some of our favorite ways to unwind and practice self-care before the big event:
Listen to your favorite music.
Get pumped to see your favorite artists perform live by putting together a playlist of their music to listen to leading up to the festival. Bonus: This will help you to memorize the lyrics so you’ll be ready to sing your heart out!
Prep your skin.
If you want your skin to glow all weekend long, you’ll need to spend some time preparing it. Start with your hair removal routine. Whether you prefer to be perfectly smooth or need a little shaping, Nair™ makes hair removal easy. The new Nair™ Sensitive Wax Strips, for example, will help you achieve perfectly smooth skin, even in your most sensitive areas. Plus, they can be cut and shaped to fit your body and needs! Meanwhile, the Nair™ Spa Sugar Wax Strips are made from 100% naturally derived ingredients, so you can feel good about what's going on your skin. When you’re done removing your hair, lather on your favorite moisturizer to keep your body looking healthy and hydrated.
Practice your look.
If you’re trying out a bold look for the festival, be sure to do a test run a few days before so that you know how everything will look and can save yourself from any last-minute wardrobe or makeup disasters the day of. Even if you have the perfect outfit planned in your head, it’s always a good idea to try it on and make sure you’re happy with how it looks IRL. Trust us, this will save you so much stress the morning of.
Take a bubble bath.
Turn your bathroom into your own personal spa oasis by lighting some candles and running a bubble bath. Feel your stress melt away as you soak in the warm water. We recommend using a lavender-scented bubble bath to help you relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep, so you’ll be well-rested for the festival.
