We all love pampering our skin, be it cleansing, moisturising or following a certain skincare routine. Sunscreen plays a major role in skincare and no skin routine is complete without that trusted SPF. But if you’re applying sunscreen on only your face and forgetting your lips, hold on, because lip sunscreen is a thing too! 

According to skin experts, SPF for lips is extremely important as one can develop lip pigmentation, signs of ageing on the lips, allergies or in the worst-case scenario even lip cancer.

Discolouration and rough, scaly patches on the lips are some of the symptoms. But, what strength of SPF is good for lips? Let's find out! 

As per dermatologists, SPF 30 and over is preferable, but one can also choose between SPF 15-30. Also, ensure it has UVA protection too along with UVB protection. 

Pro tip: Reapply lip sunscreen throughout the day just like you do with the SPF for the face. 

Also watch: Sunscreen cannot be applied like makeup
