Let’s get one thing straight: SPF isn’t optional full stop but especially on your lips – it’s essential. Unlike the rest of your face, your lips don’t have melanin to naturally protect them from UV rays. Translation? They’re out here getting fried by the sun unless you step in with a little SPF magic. 💋☀️
