SPF Lip Balms
SPF Lip balms serve us both cosmetically and functionally. They keep our lips glowing and pretty, but also moisturized, nourished, and protected from harmful UV rays. The mouth is an important, if not the most important, focal point on your the face, so we certainly do not want it to age. Lips are the most sun-sensitive spot on your body so it is imperative to use a lip balm with SPF. Let us learn more about the lips and decide on what lip balm is best for you.
WHAT IS LIP BALM?
Made mainly of wax and emollient to relieve the symptoms of cracked lips, lip balm is essentially a product that treats your lips to nourishment. When applied to the lips it creates a protective thin layer of moisture over them. This layer helps protect your lips against environmental triggers, nourishes them, and helps them retain essential moisture.
WHY DO I NEED TO USE LIP BALM?
Without a moisturizer our lips are extremely prone to drying out. This is because our lips are made up of only 3 to 5 layers of skin and they are missing the same oil glands as the rest of our body. Also, unfortunately our lips naturally get thinner as we age. When those extra layers of skin are missing, you really need another layer of protection.
WHY DO I NEED A LIP BALM WITH SPF?
Your lips are missing the outermost layer of skin known as the stratum corneum. This layer of skin protects you against the sun. This means that your lips require additional protection from harmful UV rays because your body does not naturally protect the lips.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I APPLY LIP BALM?
According to the experts, lip balm should be applied a few times per day. The right times to do so are when you wake up in the morning, after you eat or drink, and when you go to bed at night. Lip balm is an easy finishing touch to any skincare routine and a great product to carry around in your purse.
