The thinnest skin on our face is on our lips, that’s why I always carry around a lip balm with SPF. Skincare is not complete without a treat for our lips!
Our lips don’t have melanin, which protects our skin from UV damage. The only way to protect your lips from the harsh summer sun is by applying lip sunscreen every two hours.
