Don’t forget your skin care products when you’re packing for Coachella! Nothing ruins your excitement like coming home from something as awesome as Coachella only to realize your skin is a mess. Or, worse, having a skin emergency during what’s supposed to be one of the most exciting three days of your life. Take it from us and bring these skin care products with you:
Whether you’re wearing all that cute makeup you specifically picked out for the event or you’ve just been sweating four hours in the sun, it’s a good idea to scrub your face at the end of the day to wash all that gunk out of your pores. This will give you a smooth palette to work with for tomorrow’s makeup routine and help make sure no surprise zits or blackheads pop up overnight.
Activated charcoal has gotten a lot of buzz in the last couple years, and for good reason: it’s a natural exfoliant and purifier without all the nasty chemicals you find in other skin care products.

Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of dead skin and other impurities, but some exfoliants, no matter how gentle, still leave your skin dry and flaky. This is especially true if you have dry or sensitive skin, to begin with. One way to combat this is to let your face soak in a mask for a couple of hours (or overnight) to restore moisture and repair any damage from the sun or scrubbing too hard.
Like charcoal, dead sea mud is another natural skincare ingredient—even better if it’s infused with other important skin-repairing agents like Vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil. All of these components are natural and have minimal risk of causing a reaction, but always test any product on a small patch of skin to be certain.

Perhaps less time-consuming than applying a mask is loading up on face cream to moisturize, soften, and clear up skin. Spring for a natural-ingredient face cream for sensitive skin to minimize the chances of a breakout. It’s worth the extra dollars to avoid any harsh chemicals on your face (especially when you’ll be outside for hours).
Not only does face cream helps to keep your skin soft, but it will also give it that healthy summer glow without any makeup (and without as much sleep, because we all know you’ll be staying up late).

After a day out in the sun and probably with makeup on, your skin needs Vitamin C and a gentle way to remove makeup, sweat, and dirt. Try this organic, chemical-free TruSkin cleanser for sensitive skin. Not only does it remove makeup, but it helps moisturize, deep clean, and reduce damage from sun exposure. You can use this as a regular makeup remover or a facial wash at the beginning or end of your day.
This product comes in a small bottle, but you don’t need much to get the full effects. Dab a small amount on your face and work it in with small circles if you’re using it as a daily cleanser. If you’re removing makeup, pour a small amount onto a cloth or tissue and gently wipe away makeup, dabbing more onto the cloth as needed.

Don’t forget to give the rest of your skin some TLC after taking care of your face. After all, sun exposure affects everything, especially if you’re wearing tank tops and shorts. After your shower or just before you go to bed, try moisturizing with EIEN Laboratories Body Butter.
Packed with natural ingredients and antioxidants, this Shea buttercream will help keep your skin soft without all that greasy residue other lotions leave behind. Bonus: using this product long-term is supposed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks. It’s also a one-time-application that locks in moisture all day long, so you don’t have to worry about reapplying. Slap some of this stuff on before you go out in the morning and enjoy the shiny glow!

If you’re wanting something simple that you can use with a shower, Queen V body wash is made with all-natural ingredients and pH balanced for sensitive skin. This wash can be applied to your face and used on the rest of your body for an all-around gentle and skin-repairing wash. It includes green tea, aloe vera, mango, and chamomile extracts to both cleanse and scent without all the harsh chemicals.
As a bonus, the company that makes Queen V wash is self-described as “female-empowered” and “vegan-friendly” for those who care about where their products come from as well as whether or not they’re made from natural sources.
Whether or not that matters to you, Amazon reviews praise this product for having a wonderful scent, being great for sensitive skin, and keeping skin moisturized and razor-bump free.

If you struggle with skin damage, weird splotches or discolorations that no makeup can seem to get rid of, or uneven skin tone on your face and neck, you need to try Eva Naturals face serum. Once again, this product is all-natural for sensitive skin to help prevent allergic reactions or breakouts.
Essentially, what this serum does is simultaneously moisturize and repair your skin while smoothing out imperfections like uneven coloring, lines or scarring left from acne or stretch marks, or uneven skin texture. The peptides in the serum helps to repair your skin over the long-term, so it has lasting effects outside of a one-time cleansing. It also helps brighten your skin so you can keep that Coachella summer glow all weekend!
