Why Do My Lips Need SPF?
The skin on your lips are thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, making it especially prone to sunburn, dryness, and even long-term damage like premature aging and skin cancer. Here’s everything you need to know about SPF for your lips—and why it’s non-negotiable in your daily routine.

Here’s everything you need to know about SPF for your lips—and why it’s non-negotiable in your daily routine.
Why Do My Lips Need SPF?
Your lips don’t contain melanin, the natural pigment that helps protect skin from UV rays. This means they have zero natural defence against the sun. Plus, because the skin is so thin and always exposed (even in winter), it’s one of the first areas to show sun damage.
The Risks Of Unprotected Lips Include:
-
Sunburn: Red, peeling, painful lips are not only uncomfortable but also a sign of skin damage.
-
Dryness and cracking: UV exposure dries out lips and can cause chronic chapping.
-
Hyperpigmentation: Especially in darker skin tones, UV damage can lead to dark spots or uneven tone on the lips.
-
Skin cancer: Lip cancer (especially on the lower lip) is a real risk, particularly for those who spend lots of time outdoors.
