In case you're forgetting to apply SPF to one key area.

Even if you have a solid <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/summer-skincare-best-korean-spf-sunscreen-essentials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SPF</a> skin care routine, there's one place you're likely forgetting about: the lips. Though every part of the body falls prey to the harmful UV rays, the mouth tends to be unintentionally overlooked, hence needing even more attention from the lack of attentive sun-protectant care.
Unlike other areas of the body that produce natural oils to assist in protecting against sun exposure, the lips hold no such benefits, making an SPF lip balm a beauty must-have. You likely already have a body and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/how-to-apply-layer-sunscreen-skincare-summer-skin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">face sunscreen</a> in the beauty cabinet, but unfortunately, those products can't really be used on your pout. Yes, it holds the protective properties needed, but because the lips are significantly thinner than the rest of your body, the formulas are too heavy to be comfortably absorbed.
That said, there are plenty of lip treatments that provide all the protection you need. Below, L'OFFICIEL has found the best SPF lip balms to keep your pout plump, protected, and hydrated for the summer season.

It should come as no surprise that fan-favorite sunscreen brand Vacation boasts the perfect SPF lio balm for summer. With SPF 30 protection, your lips will never feel more UV ray resistant. An added bonus is that it smells addictingly good with an alluring strawberry jello aroma.

With moisturizing ingredients of Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, this particular lip balm will quickly replace your favorite chapstick. Optimal sun protection is achieved through SPF 30 which leaves the mouth soft, smooth, and protected.

Spending time underneath cloudier skies? If so, it's still important to keep your lips and body protected. With SPF 15, this luscious lip butter provides basic SPF protection without feeling too heavy. It also comes with a slight tint, proving to be a summer alternative to your favourite <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/how-to-choose-the-best-red-lipstick-for-your-skin-tone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lipstick</a>.

This hydrating formula does more than protect the lips from the sun. Made with natural fruit butters, it smoothes the lips so it can be comfortably worn underneath your favorite lipstick or gloss, only needing reapplication every couple of hours.
