Recover from festival fun and frolics in the best way

Edinburgh in August can be all air kisses and ambience, but the downside to three weeks of enforced social promiscuity is the chance that by the end of the month you could be left looking and feeling five years older.

Whether you're a fully paid-up festival groupie or a wearied worker, fighting through the crowds, combined with late nights, early mornings, sticky venues and public transport, can decimate mind, body and spirit.

Arm yourself with some choice products, though, and there's the chance that you'll emerge with your karma intact and ready to do it all again next year.

1. Facial spray: a toning spray is a must for reviving and soothing hot, tired faces. Try The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Facial Spritz (8) instead.

2. Eye cream: if the constant transition from sunglasses to beer goggles has left you with poorly peepers, it's worth investing in Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive Eye Cream (26, Boots).

3. Multi-use colour: always looking your best need never be a problem and a flattering shade for both cheeks and lips will take seconds to apply. Try Nars The Multiple (27 Space NK, George Street and Harvey Nichols).

4. Fake tan: re-find your outer glow with ModelCo Tan Airbrush in a Can (34, Space NK), which has a 360-degree nozzle. Gives a natural-looking, streak-free tan.

5. Hairspray: when there's no time to even wash and go, use a quick fix. This useful product will smooth, protect and give instant shine. Try Charles Worthington Takeaways Heat Protection Spray (1.80, Boots).

6. Deodorant: times of stress and excitement call for odour protection. Keep a witch hazel and chamomile Aromaco (4, Lush) deodorant bar with you at all times.

7. Breath freshener: it's best not to smell like stale alcohol and midnight takeaway when trying to make a good impression. Use Aveda Peppymint Breath Elixir (4.75, Frasers, Jenners and Harvey Nichols) and keep a Weleda lip salve (5.95, www.weleda.co.uk) on hand, to moisturise and protect your pout.

8. Foot care: after days of pavement pounding, your feet will be in need of some TLC. Opt for Scholl Deo-Activ Fresh Foot Wipes (3.99, Boots).

9. Nerve soothing: Bach Rescue Remedy (5.08, Boots) is a handy bottle of homeopathic tincture which will soothe frayed nerves and restore a feeling of well-being.

10. Cleaning, wiping and blowing: perfect for countless tasks, from wiping faces, dirty seats and tears of laughter, to unidentified stains on self and clothing, pocket tissues like Boots Ultra Balm Pocket Pack (1) are essential.

If it'll take a little more effort to be fabulous again, book a treatment instead of another ticket. A pedicure, massage or facial will do you the world of good. The Inner Sanctuary at Medusa, Bread Street, is ideally located so you'll be back and raring to go.
