The Beauty Product You Need For Festival Season

Festival season is officially upon us, which means coordinating the perfect look while also protecting your skin from the elements. That's why I'm beyond pumped to share the one beauty product you need for festival season. It walks the line between festival fashion and serious SPF protection, and is definitely worth ordering ASAP.

If I'm tasked to pick just a single product to throw in your fanny pack, it'd have to be MANDA Organic Sun Paste SPF 50. But what makes it better than all the other amazing sunscreens out there? The answer is twofold.

First, this sun paste is not only safe for you, but also the environment. It features thanaka, a natural cosmetic ground from the wood of a small tree in Myanmar that makes for an ecologically-friendly sun protectant. It also has a super high content of a slew of good-for-skin antioxidants, and it's incredibly moisturizing. Plus, the other ingredients like organic coconut oil, organic beeswax, organic shea butter, and organic cocoa butter are equally skin hydrating and safe for those with sensitivities.

What makes this sun paste a true essential for festival season, though, is how it doubles as chic face paint. For an earthy boho goddess look, simply design the paste across your face in any pattern you want, like the stunner model below.
