Sun care for lips is often overlooked. We hear so much about sunscreen, hats and sunglasses and tend to forget that our lips get a lot of sun exposure. Not using an SPF balm can lead to lip cancer and make our lips more prone to aging, yikes!
Lip gloss is especially bad at attracting sunlight. With this in mind I picked up an SPF 15 lip moisturizer from a leading company. After removing the fancy packing when I got home, the words ‘Warning: If swallowed contact a poison control center right away’ certainly got my attention. Needless to say I didn’t use it and found some Badger lip balm at Nature’s Fare. It is a natural, chemical free SPF 15 lip balm that is safe for children too.
