Jeannie Jarnot, founder of Beauty Heroes (and three-time Burner) shares her favorite picks for a week in the sun and dust
Burning Man is magic. It's also dust, sun, wind and extremes that will test your skin just as much as your stamina. We asked friend and Beauty Heroes founder, Jeannie Jarnot, what her recommended routine is given the mix of harsh elements and minimal amenities. "After three years on the playa, I've learned a thing or two about keeping skin clean, protected and hydrated out there," she shared. "These are the portable, playa-apropos products I'd never leave behind." Jarnot is our go-to for clean and ethical skincare given her thoughtful and meticulous research of every brand and product she considers selling.
Doré Micellar Cleanser
This green bottle is a playa staple. Micellar water lifts dust, sunscreen, and makeup without a drop of running water. Use with reusable cotton rounds (leave no trace) or compostable ones. It's perfect for quick refreshes between adventures.
Jackfir Classic Daily Facial Cleanser
A gentle polish at the end of the day feels amazing. This cleanser's jojoba beads give a light exfoliation that removes the last traces of playa grit. Double cleanse with micellar water first, then this, for the ultimate clean.
Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator
The playa will suck every drop of moisture from your skin. This hydrating mist is my savior. Go for the big bottle and mist generously -- morning, night, and whenever your skin feels tight.
Jackfir Classic Daily Moisturizer
Snow mushroom and squalane make this moisturizer rich enough for serious hydration but still easy to apply liberally. I use it day and night to keep skin comfortable in the dry air.
Suntegrity Sun Stick
Small enough to keep on you, this water-resistant SPF is great for quick touch-ups on your face, neck, and shoulders throughout the day.
Suntegrity Milky Serum Spray SPF 50
Easy to apply and ultra-clean, this spray covers fast so you can reapply without slowing down. SPF 50 is a must in that high desert sun.
Solara Suncare Pout Protector SPF 15
The playa will wreck your lips if you're not careful. This lip serum with SPF 15 is the only thing that's kept mine comfortable. Reapply often -- it's worth it.
True Botanicals Everything Rescue Balm
A thick, protective balm that works anywhere -- face, lips, hands, elbows, you name it. The lightweight tin makes it easy to keep in your pack so you can reapply on the go. Creates a barrier against wind, dust and sun while keeping skin soft.
Inlight Foot Balm
After a long day, wash feet of playa dust, layer this on, pull on some socks, and let it work overnight. It also works wonders on hands. The scent sill soothe your senses to sleep.
Henné Organics Lip Mask
For night repair, nothing beats this. Coat lips before bed, and they're soft and ready by morning.
Pai Gentle Genius Soothing Body Cream
Perfect after a shower or quick rinse. It's gentle and deeply hydrating, helping skin recover from wind and sun exposure.
Vertly Relief Lotion
Post-playa massages with this are magic -- for you and for anyone you share it with. Great for sore shoulders, tired calves, and as a sweet gift of connection in camp.
