Absolutely! This is so important and we aren’t quite sure why people don’t pay more attention to this. Your lips contain some of the most sensitive skin that is incredibly prone to feeling the effects of the sun. Exposure, even for a short time, can cause them to become red, puffy, chapped or even blistered.
As your head is exposed to sunlight more than the rest of your body, it is wise to have year round lip balm that protects from the exposure. Many companies have realized this importance and it is incredibly easy to find a lip balm that is SPF safe. When out for your day on the beach, we recommend not relying on sunscreen for this sensitive area. Lip balm will help to keep your lips moisturized and protected – a double win!
