Lip Balm with SPF - 6 Top Lip Balms with SPF

Protect your Lips Against the Sun with an SPF Lip Balm

By Jen Adkins, About.com

You always remember to put on sunscreen when you go outside, but do you remember to protect your lips? Your lips are more susceptible to burning than most parts of your body, yet many people don't think about protecting them from the sun. If you replace your regular lip balm with a sun safe lip balm, you can play in the sun without worrying about peeling lips.

Here are 6 lip balms with SPF levels ranging from 8 to 25.

1. Biotherm: Aquasource Moisturizing Balm Protective Lip Care SPF 8

Biotherm Aquasource Lip Balm will sooth and moisturize your lips with macadamia oil, and will leave a beautiful glossy shine. You can this alone, or you can put this gloss over your lip stick for style and protection.

2. Rilastil - Suncare Lip Balm SPF 10

Rilastil Lip Balm is perfect for not only your lips, but other areas of your body as well, such as the tops of your ears. If you're an athlete or love to swim at the pool or beach, you'll love the fact that this is water resistant.

3. The Naked Bee: Lip Balm SPF15
