Let\u2019s face it – festivals are all about indulgence. There\u2019s nothing like donning your finest pair of wellies for a weekend of music, revelry and general bad behaviour – but after the last band has finished their set, the tent is packed and you\u2019re back in reality your skin might be feeling a little worse for wear. Late nights, fried food, alcohol and sleeping in your makeup (which are all festival prerequisites, by the way) are the worst enemies of a radiant complexion. In fact, we\u2019ve even got a name for the numerous skin maladies you might be facing after a weekend under the canvas – Post Festival Face. Think grey skin, dark circles, a smattering of spots and a general tight, dry feeling – basically everything you don\u2019t want. To get the remedy, we grilled Fiona Brackenbury, Decleor\u2019s Education Director, on the Decleor Ultimate Vitamin Glow Facial.<\/a> The facial combines deep cleansing with an application of a power-packed, botanical-rich serum to soothe and revitalise the skin. It also includes a professional-use-only mask supercharged with a heavenly blend of vitamins, minerals and omegas.<\/p>\n

What is Post Festival Face and how does it affect your skin?<\/h3>\n

Post Festival Face refers to dull, grey skin, dark circles, breakouts and a tight, dry feeling after a festival. Lack of sleep, fried food, alcohol and sleeping in makeup can cause your skin to look and feel unhealthy. These factors lead to clogged pores and a generally tired complexion.<\/div>\n

\n

How does the Decleor Ultimate Vitamin Glow Facial help your skin recover?<\/h3>\n

The Decleor Ultimate Vitamin Glow Facial deeply cleanses your skin and uses a serum rich in botanicals, vitamins, minerals and omegas. This facial soothes, revitalises and nourishes your skin after the stress of a festival. It includes a professional-use mask to restore radiance and vitality.<\/div>\n

\n

Why is steaming recommended for post-festival skin care?<\/h3>\n

Steaming gently opens your pores and brings impurities to the surface, making it easier to deeply cleanse your skin. Warm steam allows a therapist to help remove blackheads and congestion using a safe, hygienic technique. This process gives your skin a fresh start after a weekend of indulgence.<\/div>\n

\n

What nutrients are important for repairing post-festival skin?<\/h3>\n

Omegas, vitamins and minerals are essential for repairing damage caused by sleeping in makeup and poor diet during festivals. Omegas are fatty acids that help soothe inflammation, while vitamins and minerals feed and nourish your skin. Incorporating these nutrients helps restore softness and a healthy glow.<\/div>\n

\n

How can you quickly hydrate your skin after a festival?<\/h3>\n

Applying hyaluronic acid is one of the best ways to instantly hydrate your skin. Hyaluronic acid holds a thousand times its weight in moisture, making it perfect for bringing back dewiness and vitality to tired, dehydrated skin following late nights and poor sleep.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

‘Steaming is essential for post-festival complexions,’ says Fiona. Warm steam will gently open your pores, bringing all the nasties to the surface, and allowing your therapist to deeply clean your skin to squeaky-clean perfection. If you’ve had a troublesome breakout, your therapist might try extraction. Fiona explained, ‘When oil comes to the surface of the skin and meets oxygen in the air, it can get ‘stuck’ and turn into a blackhead. Your therapist will use a special, safe squeezing technique using tissues to unblock the pore.’ Consider this your first step in getting your skin back on track - it’ll give you a clean slate, free from congestion and make your skin ready to drink up some goodness.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":28764},{"block_title":"Next, do some serious damage limitation","block_content":"

Now is the time to throw as many skin-feeding omegas and vitamins as you can at your skin. ‘Omegas are essential to repair the damage you’ve done to your skin by sleeping in your make-up, while adding vitamins and minerals will feed the skin and give it all the nutrients it’s lacked during your weekend of hot dogs, candyfloss and cider’, Fiona told us. Omegas are clever fatty acids found in nature that help calm down your skin’s inflammatory responses and help smooth and soften the skin.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":28765},{"block_title":"Now, make up for all that lost sleep","block_content":"

Sleeping Beauty was on to something, believe us. As Fiona explained, ’Beauty sleep is no myth! A lack of sleep will show in the skin tone and any fine lines will appear more noticeable - particularly around the eyes and mouth. It’ll also affect your skin’s repairing process, and if you’ve been sleeping with makeup on, your pores will be clogged, which will likely cause breakouts.’ To remedy sleep-deprived skin, Fiona said the key is hydration, hydration, hydration. ‘There’s not much better than hyaluronic acid, which holds a thousand times its own weight in moisture. It works so quickly, which is perfect when the skin needs instant hydration to bring back the dewiness and the vitality to the skin.’ <\/p>\n\n
