Apply sunscreen daily – this is the undisputed cardinal rule of any skincare routine. And with the blazing weather reaching record-breaking heights all over the world, it’s about time we amp up our sun protection. You’ve probably got your face and body sorted, but there’s one area that is often overlooked: our lips.
The skin on our lips is much like the skin on our face – it’s susceptible to sunburn and even skin cancer if not protected properly, but it’s way more delicate than say the skin on your cheeks. Unfortunately, you can’t just apply your sunscreen over your lips. That is why we’ve rounded up our favourite SPF-infused lip products, from tinted lip balms to luscious glosses, to add to your arsenal of summer-ready skincare products.
