H20+ Beauty Aquadefense Matcha Moisturizer SPF 40
$44, h20plus.com
You’re about to be in the sun for days at a time, you’d be crazy to not add a little SPF to your festival carry-on. And no, a BB cream formulated with SPF 15 isn’t going to cut it. So often people think SPF isn’t necessary or that the low amounts included in their other beauty products will be enough to keep the effects of the sun’s harmful UV rays at bay. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. To keep your skin protected, add this super-slim bottle of moisturizing, matcha-infused broad spectrum SPF to your line-up. It will activate 15 minutes after you put it on to block 97.5% of UVB and UVA rays.
