There's so much effort put into planning the outfits before festivals like Coachella, but what about that post-festival glo, tho? If festival season is a thing, then we argue that post-festival season is a thing, too — aka the period of time when your skin cries out, "What the heck just happened?" Common symptoms of post-festival skin include but are not limited to: sunburns, windburns, excessive dryness, flaking, breakouts, and a generally lackluster complexion.
The truth is that spending that much time exposed to the environment — under harsh UV rays, dirt, dust, grime, and wind — can take a toll on your skin. Add in things like a little booze and not following your usual regimen, and you've really got a problem. The good news is that you can totally nurse your skin back to health, with a little extra TLC. Start with these products and kits that'll revive your skin after all that desert dust and sunshine.
