Men are more likely to develop lip cancer than women.
To even the odds, use a lip balm with an spf of 25 or higher when you're outside, says Joseph Bark, M.D., a dermatologist. Here are four you can try. If you swim, use the water-resistant Blistex Ultra Protection . If applying lip balm makes you feel like a European escort, smear the fat Neutrogena Sunblock Stick all over your face, lips and all. And if you ever sprout a freckle or a thickened patch on your lips, see a doctor.
