Why: Your lips are very susceptible to the sun, and SPF is necessary to “prevent cancer of the lips,” says Danesh. Since slathering white sunscreen on your lips might be a bit much, you should pick up a lip balm with SPF. It plays double duty by “moisturizing your lips while protecting them from the sun’s rays,” says makeup artist Meredith Baraf. It fades throughout the day, so just be sure to re-apply it every hour or so.
