Welcome to the jungle - baking hot sun, outbursts of torrential rain, stifling humidity and millions of insects (and we thought three-day festivals were bad for our beauty regimes).
Here’s a round-up of team ELLE’s beauty SOS products, from the ultimate moisturiser to the most practical deodorant, to confront even the harshest of climates.
‘My jungle beauty product is the MAC coloured SPF lip balm, £11, because it’s heavenly and it doubles up as a cheek tint. My brand new one was robbed the other night and my lips have been in mourning ever since’.

‘ I bought Epaderm cream, £9.99, for my son’s eczema but have discovered it’s great for dry hands and cracked heels’.
‘Sunscreen and mozzie spray aside, I can't imagine embarking on any adventure without Clinique's marvellous Comfort on Call Allergy Relief Cream. It's not the most glamorous of products, but it works wonders on dry patches of skin, grazes, bites, sunburn and irritations. A real cure-all’.

‘I have a weird phobia about dry skin, which is unfortunate as I’m prone to peeling and dry skin when I spend time in the sun. So for my jungle SOS I would slather Elizabeth Arden Eight-hour Cream, £25, on my heels, burns, face, hands and elbows (I’d essentially bathe in it if I could). It has never failed me’.

‘Suffering from naturally dry and thirsty hair, I couldn't go to the jungle without Charles Worthington's Intense Rescue Melting Balm, £16.99. This soft balm melts in to a rich oil in the palms of your hands and always leaves my hair looking and feeling fully nourished and revitalised’.
‘It's going to be hot and sticky in the jungle, right? Weleda’s Wild Rose Deodorant, £12.95, is refreshing, smells great and can be used as an all-over body spray, too’.
