We all hear the constant reminders to wear sunscreen daily, but one area that often gets overlooked? The lips. Despite being one of the most delicate parts of the face, they rarely get the same protection, even though the skin there is thinner and more vulnerable to sun damage.

Until recently, I hadn’t paid much attention to lip SPF either—but after learning more, I tested a few to find what truly works!

Lipscreen Shine SPF 40

Overall Rating: 1/5

This one didn’t live up to the hype for me. While the idea sounds promising, the strong sunscreen taste and overly thin texture made it unpleasant to use. It wore off quickly and left an aftertaste that lingered—not something I want from a daily lip product.

Isle Lip Balm SPF 30

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

This balm has a lovely vanilla scent, a smooth clear finish, and stays put during workouts or long days outside. It feels moisturizing without being sticky, and the protection it provides feels reliable and comfortable.

Make It Pop Lip Gloss with SPF 50

Overall Rating: 5/5

This gloss stands out with its shiny finish, making it perfect for daily wear or special occasions. While the sunscreen taste can be noticeable at times, the overall feel and appearance make it a favorite. It's fun, protective, and stylish all in one.

Taking care of your lips is just as important as protecting the rest of your skin. With so many great lip SPF options available, it’s easy to find one that fits your lifestyle and tastes. A little extra protection can go a long way—don’t let your lips be the forgotten step in your sun care routine!
