Did you know that your lips need sun protection?

Even the most accurate and frequent user of sunscreen does not apply it meticulously everywhere.

Even the most accurate and frequent user of sunscreen does not apply it meticulously everywhere. For many reasons, the area that is mostly avoided are the lips, although the skin of the lips is thinner and with minimal levels of melanin. The lips are constantly exposed to the sun, which puts them at risk of sunburn. They also risk developing cancerous spots and scales. The best way to protect your lips from ultraviolet rays is to use lip balms with SPF factors continuously during the day. SPF formulated as a balm, is the best solution to prolong in time the effect of sun protection factors, because it stays longer on the lips and does not dissolve, because of the saliva. We need to be careful when it comes to sun protection all year round and especially in May, which is the month of melanoma awareness.
