FAQs About SPF Lip Balm
What does SPF lip balm do?
SPF lip balm is a lip product containing sunscreen ingredients that protect your lips from harmful UV rays. Your lips are particularly vulnerable to sun damage as they lack melanin, the pigment that protects skin. It prevents sunburn, chapping and reduces the risk of long-term damage like premature ageing and skin cancer. SPF lip balms are also designed to stay on the lips better than regular sunscreen and are formulated with ingredients that are safe for ingestion and provide moisturising benefits, which regular sunscreens may lack.
What SPF and ingredients should you look for in a lip balm?
Look for an SPF of 30 or higher. This level of SPF blocks about 97% of UVB rays. It's also beneficial to choose a broad-spectrum lip balm, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Look for ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, or vitamin E, which provide moisturising benefits. Also, look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are mineral sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection. Ensure the lip balm doesn't contain irritating ingredients like fragrances or menthol, especially if you have sensitive lips.
How often should you reapply SPF lip balm?
Reapply your SPF lip balm every two hours, especially if you're outdoors. Reapply more frequently after eating, drinking, swimming, or wiping your lips.
