SPF Lip Balms for The Summer: Flow Space
Everyone knows that sunscreen is important for the days out, especially in the summer. However, did you know that Lip Balms are just as vital? Dr. Green was quoted a few times this week in “These Derm-Approved SPF Lip Balms Will Hydrate & Protect Your Lips All Summer Long” – where the Flow Space team. She recommends some of the top products for lip balms this summer and notes what ingredients to avoid in SPF lip balm. Dr. Green explains, “Some lip balms are formulated with irritating ingredients such as alcohol or fragrances. These can cause redness, dryness, and inflammation and should be avoided on the lips where there is thinner skin.” Other potentially irritating ingredients include menthol and camphor, which are typically added for the cooling effect they provide — “but they ultimately irritate the skin more.”
She also notes that as one age, the ability to retain moisture in the skin and lips diminishes, which leads to drier lips. “Additionally, the accumulation of sun damage can further worsen skin thinning and dry out the lips.” That’s why using the right lip balm with SPF is so crucial to keep your lips hydrated and plump throughout midlife.
