My lips never seem to burn during the summer—is it still necessary for me to wear SPF?

When you’re hitting the beach or plan to be outdoors for an extended period of time, take precaution: The shinier and more reflective your pucker is, the more UV rays it will attract. While the negative effects on lips may not be immediately visible, a dark brown lesion—called labial lentigo—sometimes develops after repeated sun exposure. A spot that can appear as small as a freckle or as large as Marilyn Monroe’s mole, labial lentigo often forms on the lower lip since it’s a larger, more exposed surface area.
To keep your pout lesion-free, wear a matte, non-reflective lip balm like Tarte 24/7 Natural Lip Sheer with SPF 15.
