The heat is finally in the city! You can safely go to the nearest beach and sunbathe, not forgetting about sunscreen. As practice shows, most generously smear their hands, shoulders and legs, only they forget about their lips, thinking that they will not burn. They will also get burned (we’re scared: they will burn, swell and blister) And yes, ordinary moisturizing balm will not save them, so do not forget to purchase a lip product with SPF protection. We will tell about the best below!
What's wrong with the lips?
Everything is the same with them, only the skin of the lips is several times thinner and more delicate than the skin of the face, so ultraviolet light has a destructive effect on it. If aging does not scare you, you should be scared at least by the burn that can appear due to ignoring the SPF protection. Moreover, the skin of the lips lacks a protective layer, a thermoregulation system and practically no melanin, so problems such as peeling, itching, dehydration, dryness and cracks are true companions of vacation and summer.
The ideal sunscreen for lips should contain at least 15 SPF, and it is recommended to look for such markings on colored glosses, lipsticks and varnishes. The difficulty can arise only in the fact that sun-protective decorative cosmetics for lips have a meager palette. Glosses and varnishes without SPF filters can only aggravate the situation: the particles contained in their composition work like a magnifying glass, attracting the sun's rays, thereby further burning the lips. But this is not the worst thing: thanks to the usual shine, ultraviolet light penetrates even deeper into delicate skin, provoking the development of cancer For the same reason, you cannot use oil, petroleum jelly and other means that can attract ultraviolet light.
Sunscreen balm should also be applied to those who often suffer from herpes. Ultraviolet light reduces local immunity and provokes inflammation. Burn + "cold" on the lip = a wild mixture that cannot be disguised with anything. Not the most pleasant "bonus" that summer can give us.
If your lips have suffered from the scorching sun, purchase Panthenol and cold-pressed jasmine oil (not concentrated) at the pharmacy. "Panthenol" will remove burning, inflammation and redness, soothe delicate skin, and the oil will accelerate blood circulation, restore local immunity and additionally protect lips from harmful environmental influences.
