It’s become a tradition that every Labor Day weekend is spent at Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City Beach. Their line up of country music artists is always epic and it’s not something you want to miss. However, after being in the sun for 10 hours a day for 3 days straight, inhaling ridiculous amounts of second hand smoke and of course filling your belly with “festival food and drink” your skin is left looking less than satisfactory and you just feel like crap.

I will share with you my steps for a whole-body recovery routine. I do this after any long weekend I have had where I have been less than pleasant to my skin and body.

1) Drink lots of water

During festivals, I definitely need to drink more water. So, I will drink an extra bottle or two daily for the next five days to help. The additional water flushes out my system and helps rehydrate my skin. I am on a monthly cycle of auto-ship through Amazon Prime for Life Water. If I know something big is coming up, I’ll add an extra case to my direct ship.

2) Pedialyte

I am not even kidding. If you feel sluggish, tired, thirsty, headache, or exhausted, drink a bottle of Pedialyte. Designed to keep children hydrated through illness, I promise you that Pedialyte will help do the trick.

3) Exfoliate

I have a few favorites here, but my all-time favorite for after-festival activities is the Farmhouse Fresh Sand Your Ground.  The medium-grain powdered volcanic pumice polishes skin smooth, while Red Arizona Montmorillonite Clay absorbs bacteria and toxins. Willow Bark Extract brings a refreshing feel that soothes skin to a poreless-looking finish. It never fails – whenever I use this, my face is glowing, and I feel like all of the gunk from the weekend is G-O-N-E.

4) Radiant Skin Mud Mask

I’m unsure if you’ve heard of this company, but Real Raw Beauty is one of the best organic skincare lines. You will LOVE this mask. It is straight from the Dead Sea and infused with Activated Charcoal. This pure jar of Activated Charcoal Mud has no preservatives or additives. This mud is rich in mineral content and will penetrate deep into the layers of your skin, causing it to look healthier and brighter. It will minimize and unclog your pores and effectively remove toxins and pollutants – exactly what my skin needs after a weekend like this.

5) Radiant A Serum

Also from Real Raw Beauty, Radiant-A, full of natural Retinol, is a blend of pure 100% organic unrefined oils, Rosehip, Tamanu, Prickly Pear, and Carrot Seed, that when applied to your face, will work at a cellular level to improve the appearance of your skin. By assisting in promoting collagen and elastin levels, Radiant A supports the production of new skin tissue. These amazing Organic oils will renew, replenish, and hydrate your skin and reverse sun damage and scarring while protecting your skin from wrinkles. You want this in your arsenal for use every night and after a long weekend in the sun.

6) Oribe Gold Lust Treatment

I am obsessed with this treatment, plus the smell is so dreamy. It’s designed to hydrate and soften hair, body, face, and décolleté. I often use it, though, as a deep treatment for hair overnight. Combined with my Oribe shampoo and conditioner, it makes my hair dreamy!

7) Foot Massager

There is nothing worse than the pain of standing on your feet, jumping around, and dancing like a fool for three days, but it’s SO worth it. I bought this foot massager last year on Amazon and am soooo happy I did.

8) Honey Heel Glaze

This product is Ah-may-zing! This divine honey-based moisture serum seals in moisture and brings rich color back to tired feet. Brush on and rub into feet for chalkless bliss – no more white ashy look! After my foot massage, I will coat my feet in this delicious-smelling glaze, put socks on, and put my feet up!

That’s about it! I will give you all some highlights of Gulf Coast Jam soon, but this recovery plan has been on my mind lately since I have been doing it all last week.

Let me know if you have any of these products and what you love the most!
