7 Lip Products With SPF To Keep Your Pout Protected

When it comes to sun protection, raise your hand if your SPF usage includes the lips. We know that most products focus on enhancing and drawing attention to the lower third but if the pout is not a part of your sun care regime, it’s time to reconsider your approach without sacrificing quality. But, why is that important, you may ask? Due to the skin being thinner and thereby more delicate on the lips, the area is susceptible to sun damage, a cold sore breakout, sunburns, and skin cancer. And, with the UVA and UVB rays being even more aggressive in the summer (hello, longer days), it’s always a good idea to apply a protective shield.
