Buying tips

When choosing a lip sunscreen, check that it provides broad-spectrum protection (UVA/UVB) and has at least SPF 30. Look for moisturizing ingredients like shea butter or beeswax to prevent drying. Remember to reapply after eating or drinking. Consider your skin type: if you have sensitive skin, opt for mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
