The skin on your lips is just as vulnerable to harmful UV rays as the rest of your body. Lips are particularly susceptible because their stratum corneum is very thin, consisting of only 3-4 layers (compared to around 15 layers on the face and body).
Can You Use Regular Sunscreen?
Yes, you can use regular sunscreen, but it often dries out the lips.
