Festivals, Halloween, carnival - these are the moments your skin takes the biggest hit. Hours of face paint, glitter everywhere, sweat, and removing it all at 3 AM with a makeup wipe.

Before the party

Start a week before with gentle cleansing and hydration. Use a primer as a barrier between your skin and the makeup.

During the party

A thermal water spray refreshes and hydrates on the go. Compact enough for any bag.

After the party

Double cleansing is essential: oil cleanser first, then water-based. Soothe irritated skin with aloe vera or panthenol.

Recovery from within

Sleep, hydration, and immune-supporting supplements help your skin bounce back faster after an intense weekend.

Practical tips

  • Patch test new products 24h before
  • Choose cosmetic-grade glitter only
  • Bring micellar water
  • Protect lips with SPF balm
  • Alternate alcohol with water
