When it comes to sun protection, lips often get overlooked, but they are just as vulnerable to UV damage as the rest of your skin. Whether you’re lounging poolside or rushing through your daily commute, a reliable SPF for lips is essential to keep them soft, smooth and protected from harmful rays. In this guide we break down the best lip sunscreens that combine effective protection with nourishing ingredients, so your lips stay healthy and glowing all year round.
