YOGYAKARTA When doing outdoor activities, dermatologists and skin care experts recommend having to wear sunscreen. The goal is to keep the skin from being exposed to UVA or UVB which has a bad impact. Skin exposed to the sun directly, can be at risk of premature aging and even developing skin cancer. So what about sunscreen for the lips? What is the most appropriate level of SPF and what is the reason? Here's the full explanation.

Lip area is not only worn by persona to be beautiful. But it also needs to be protected and cared for properly. This part of the face seems to often miss attention. This means that it is important to know that the lips need to be put on sunscreen. The reason is that sunscreen for lips containing SPF is beneficial for the health of the lips as a whole.

A board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshik says that lip products formulated with an SPFtrict the lips, guard against damage caused by exposure to UV, and make her look healthy and not dehydrated. Without protection, lips can experience hyperpigmentation and in worse cases they can catch skin cancer.

Please note, thin lip skin and melanin deficiency. So lip protection from sun exposure is very important. If you don't use lip products that contain sunscreen every day, specifically contain SPF, UV rays can hit your lips and cause dry lips, break apart, and burn the sun. The more sunlight exposure your lips receive, the higher the risk of damage from sunlight and black spots that can cause fine lines and wrinkles around your lips.

The second reason, according to cosmetics chemistry AJ Addae reported by Byrdie, Monday, August 19, is that lip products with SPF provide protection against sunlight and are useful for containing antioxidants. Therefore, if you wear sunscreen for your lips with an SPF, you don't have to worry about premature aging and wrinkles appear faster than you get older.

To get multiple benefits, it is also important to pay attention to the composition of sunscreen for the lips. Most of the lip sunscreen products contain lip-hydrated humectants. But choose the right content. Such as containing hyaluronic acid, ceramide, glycerin, or emoliene such as coconut oil, shea butter, and petroleum. These emoliene help soften the lip skin.

If you are still confused about how many SPFs are in the sunscreen for the right lips? According to Addae, use sunscreen for lips with SPF 30 or higher every day. Suggestions, re-implify every two hours. If you tend toblok or bite your lips, you need to apply more often. No need to worry, you can wear sunscreen for your lips before wearing lipgloss or lipstick. Or you can use sunscreen products for lips formulated with various colors.
