Festival season is here—warm nights, unforgettable sets, glitter-covered selfies, and moments that outlast your camera roll. But there’s one uninvited guest ready to crash the vibe: mosquitoes.
This is your music festival survival guide for staying bite-free, glowing, and unbothered—from sundown to sunrise. Whether you're dancing at Glastonbury, glamping in the woods, or chasing sunsets in a field, here's how to repel bugs naturally, stay hydrated, and look flawless while doing it.
Best Natural Mosquito Repellent for Festivals
Say goodbye to chemical sprays and toxic formulas. Your new go-to? A natural insect repellent roll-on that’s sleek, non-sticky, and scented like summer—not synthetic chemicals.
Compact enough for your bum bag or crossbody
Leaves no residue on skin or clothes
Smells like Summer and won’t clash with your fragrance
Keyword tip: Look for plant-based bug repellents with essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, or lavender.
Pro tip: Choose a travel-size roll-on mosquito repellent made for on-the-go use. It’s discreet, effective, sustainable and festival-approved.
What to Wear to Avoid Mosquito Bites (Without Killing the Vibe)
You don’t have to sacrifice style to stay protected. Here’s how to dress smart and look effortlessly cool:
Wear loose-fitting, breathable fabrics that cover arms and legs in the evening
Go for light colours that reflect heat and deter insects
Accessorise with wide-brimmed hats or lightweight scarves—bonus: they block both sun and bugs
Festival Hydration Hacks That Also Help Prevent Bug Bites
Hydration isn’t just for energy—it’s your skin’s first defence. Staying hydrated can:
Improve your skin’s natural barrier (making it less attractive to bugs)
Keep your skin glowing under the sun
Reduce itchiness and inflammation from any bites you do get (though don't worry too much, we have you covered!)
Pack a refillable water bottle and sip regularly—your body (and skin) will thank you.
When to Apply Mosquito Repellent at Festivals
Timing matters. Mosquitoes are most active during golden hour and after dark, so:
Apply repellent 30 minutes before dusk
Reapply every 3–4 hours, especially if sweating or dancing
Layer it on before heading into grassy or wooded areas
Reapply. Recharge. Return to the dancefloor.
Why Go Natural? Confidence Without the Chemicals
Here’s why natural insect repellent is a festival must-have:
No chemical smells
No greasy feel
No itchy bites ruining your vibe
You get to feel fresh, stay safe, and smell good—even when you're deep in the crowd. It’s the no-compromise way to protect your skin.
