Summer is in full swing and that means music festivals are happening all over the place! When it comes to music festivals, sunscreen is often an afterthought. However, it is so important to protect your skin, hair, and scalp during those long days in the sun. One of the most common forms of sunscreen application is an aerosol-based spray. But did you know that aerosol sunscreens are banned from many major music festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits Music Festival?
Actiiv's SPF 30 Hair + Scalp Defense Spray is a sunscreen made specifically for your scalp and hair but can easily be used on the rest of your body as well. The best part? It's not aerosol! The Actiiv SPF 30 protects against harmful UV rays, can help prevent skin cancer, prevent hair shedding/discoloration, and can help your skin look young and healthy.

Some Sunscreens (AKA Actiiv's) are Better for Festivals
Sunscreen is an essential part of any festival season preparation, but not all sunscreens are created equal. Actiiv's SPF 30 Hair + Scalp Defense Spray is the perfect sunscreen for festivals for many reasons:
- Not Banned or Messy: Some sunscreens are aerosol cans, which are banned from music festivals. Others are lotions, which can be messy, greasy, and let's face it, annoying to apply. Luckily, our SPF 30 is not in an aerosol can, but it's still a spray, which makes it easy to use and mess-free!
- Travel Sized and TSA Approved: Since it is so small and compact it can easily fit in your pocket, fanny pack, or any other bag. This makes it easy to carry around the festival and reapply throughout the day.
- Versatile: It is specifically made for your scalp and hair, which is something most people neglect when it comes to UV protection. However, this doesn't mean it can't be used on your face and skin too!
- We Mean It: We really mean it when we say it was created with your hair in mind. It protects against color fade and sun damage and won't weigh your hair down or make it greasy like other sunscreens.
- Lightweight: The spray is light and refreshing, making it easy to apply and re-apply. One of the best things about this SPF 30 is that it is water-based. This means it applies lightweight and won't leave your hair feeling greasy.
- Water Resistant: The sunscreen is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. This means you can stay protected even in those fountains and bubble pits!
How and When to Apply
Applying sunscreen properly is essential for keeping your skin safe from the sun's harmful rays. Shake well and apply the SPF 30 Hair + Scalp Defense Spray directly to your hair, scalp, and face. Be sure to really focus on those forgotten-about areas such as your part, hairline, ears, and neck. Reapply every 80 minutes for optimal protection.
Sunscreen is an essential part of any summertime routine whether you're spending the day at the beach or attending a music festival. Not only does sunscreen help protect your skin from sun damage, but it can also help prevent skin cancer down the line. And if that's not enough incentive, wearing sunscreen can keep your skin looking young and healthy. Actiiv's SPF 30 Spray is versatile, compact, easy to use, non-greasy, TSA compliant, and festival approved. So, what are you waiting for?
