Top Lip Balms With SPF: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why do I need lip balm if I already use a face moisturiser?

Your lips have thinner skin and lack oil glands, making them more prone to dryness and cracking. A good lip balm provides essential hydration and acts as a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss and keeping your lips soft and supple.

2. Is SPF in lip balm really necessary?

Yes! Just like your skin, your lips are vulnerable to sun damage. SPF in lip balm helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and even the risk of skin cancer on the lips.

3. How often should I apply lip balm?

For best results, apply lip balm at least 3-4 times a day- especially before heading outdoors, after meals, and before bed. If you're using one with SPF, reapply every two hours when in the sun.

4. Can I use lip balm under lipstick?

Absolutely! A hydrating lip balm acts as a great base, keeping your lips moisturised and preventing lipstick from settling into fine lines or looking patchy.

5. What ingredients should I look for in a good lip balm?

Opt for lip balms with SPF, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, beeswax, ceramides, and vitamin E for hydration and protection. Avoid those with artificial fragrances, menthol, and camphor, as they can dry out your lips over time.

So, there you have it, 10 lip balms that won't let your pout suffer under the sun this spring-summer. Whether you're into max sun protection, juicy hydration, or a little extra glow, there's a balm for everyone.
