Festival season is approaching. Whether you've got tickets for Tomorrowland, Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop or a smaller festival, one thing is certain: your skin is in for a rough ride. Hours in the sun, dust, sweat, short nights and far-from-optimal hygiene.
The solution? A well-stocked festival pharmacy. Not the overpriced emergency kit sold at the festival entrance, but smartly selected products ordered in advance from an online pharmacy.
Sunscreen: your absolute number one
You spend an average of 8 to 12 hours per day outdoors at a festival. Even on cloudy days, enough UV radiation gets through to damage your skin.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 SPF50+ - from €19.60
The gold standard in sun protection. The UVMUNE 400 filter protects against both UVA and UVB rays. The invisible fluid texture doesn't stick and leaves no white cast.
Savings tip: Viata offers this at €19.83, while Farmaline charges €35.69. That's nearly €16 difference for the exact same product.
