Summer Festival Beauty: Skincare Tips With Noxzema

summer-festival-beauty-skincareSo you guys know I’m the queen of the summer festival. Last summer I was everywhere from Coachella to Governor’s Ball to Made in America and Essence Fest. I LOVE a good summer music festival. What I don’t love about outdoor summer festivals, though, is the inherent toll it takes on the skin. Whether it’s the sweat that comes along with being outdoors for hours at a time (Coachella), the dirt being kicked in your face when crazy fans dance around you (Governor’s Ball), or the hours spent traipsing around looking cute in your favorite makeup (Essence Festival) you will undoubtedly come home and need to UNWIND.

noxzema-productsTo keep your skin in shape throughout an exciting festival weekend, Noxzema has a few great skincare products you should have in your arsenal. They were nice enough to send over a few of their products for me to try. Can you believe they’re actually 100 years old this year? I grew up playing around with my mom’s Noxzema Cleansing Cream in her beauty cabinet (in secret, of course). Such an iconic beauty brand and they’re still going strong with great products for skin and that classic Noxzema tingle. Here are some of my top tips for proper skincare during summer festivities:

1. Use a Deep-Cleaning Cleanser

noxzema-bacteria-fighting-cleanserThis is something you should do before and after a long hard day of head-bopping and mosh pits. Noxzema’s Bacteria Fighting Cleanser is GREAT for this. It’s an antibacterial cleanser that helps purify and deep cleans. This should help with clearing out your pores from all that not-so-fun dirt & grime.

2. Exfoliate!

Noxzema’s Anti-Blemish Daily Scrub helps to buff away impurities and also has Salicylic Acid which helps fight blemishes. After a festival is when you need this most because that dirt can set into your skin and cause blemishes days later.

3. Cleanse on the Go

They’re also great if you’re too pooped after you get home to do a full face wash. I know you’ve been there. Noxzema’s Oil Control Cleansing Cloths are perfect. They’re also great for travel if you’re headed to a festival out of town.
