JAKARTA - Many people focus on protecting their facial and body skin from exposure to the sun, but often forget that lips also require special attention.

Just like other parts of the skin, lips are prone to the adverse effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays that can trigger dryness, color change, to long-term damage such as hyperpigmentation or premature aging.

Unlike facial skin, the lips do not have a natural protective layer such as oil glands. This makes it more prone to dehydration and rupture, especially if exposed to sunlight or extreme weather for a long time.

Therefore, in addition to using lip moisturizers, choosing products with SPF content can be an optimal solution. Currently, there is an innovation of lip care products that combines the function of maintenance and UV protection in one product.

One of them is lip gloss with SPF, which not only protects lips from UV exposure but also provides moisture and a touch of light cosmetics for daily activities.

"We are trying to present products that are not only effective at protecting, but also comfortable and can be used as part of daily makeup," said Irene Ursula, founder of Amaterasun in a press statement by Lip Gloss SPF 29 PA++++.

Lip glosss with SPFs are usually equipped with natural moisturizing ingredients such as avocado, almonds, or jojoba oils that help maintain moisture and prevent dry or broken lips. This formulation provides a glossy effect and helps disguise the fine lines on the lips.

Ultraviolet (UV) exposure affects not only facial skin but also lips, which are prone to problems such as drought, color change, to premature aging.

Lip gloss is also present in three choices that adapt to undertone skin, namely pink for neutral undertone, mauve for cool-neutral undertone, and nude for neutral undertone.

Apart from being a lip care product, the formula is flexible to use as a blush or eyeshadow with SPF protection.

Lip Gloss SPF 29 PA++++ is available on the Amateur Official Store on Shope from 23 October to 1 November 2024. After this period, the product will be distributed more widely through official websites and several online and offline beauty outlets.
