Whether trekking across fields at Glastonbury, riding out flash floods at Reading or baking in the sun at Benicassim, it helps to have a stash of beauty essentials to-hand to feel fresh and look fabulous throughout festival season.

Speedy skincare is a must. Remove the day’s dirt when you finally hit the sack or simply freshen up with Botanics Biodegradable Sensitive Cleansing Wipes, 30, £3.42, which contain extracts of sweet gale and marshmallow.

Breathe new life into greasy locks between washes with Boots Expert Dry Shampoo, 200ml, £1.95. Just a quick spray transforms dull, lifeless hair and leaves it clean, fresh smelling and full of body and bounce.

We will all be hoping for sun though and skin safety is essential.  New Soltan Once Lotion with Gradual Tan Face SPF15, 50ml, £9.99 works for up to six hours and contains light diffusing particles to smooth the appearance of skin.  Soltan Takeaway in both SPF8 and 15 are also great for protection on the move.

And when it’s get back to reality, soothe tired eyes with Boots Reviving Eye Drops, 10ml, £2.93.
