However, our lips are much more at risk to develop skin cancer from the rest of the body. The skin on the lips is very thin and delicate making them very vulnerable when exposed to the sun.
Whether your out on the beach or skiing slopes, read the following tips to learn how to protect your lips:
1- Lip-gloss can intensify the effect of the sun on your lips. Some scientist claim that is like putting a magnifying glass between your lips and the sun. Therefore, if you are going to wear lip-gloss to the beach, choose one that includes high SPF.
2- If your favourite lip-gloss does not have SPF in it, you must find a base-layer lip balm that has it to make sure your lips are protected. The agreed-upon recommendation is to wear a lip-balm that has at least level 30 SPF in it. Its not for protection only, lip balms keep the lips moisturized also.
3- Replace lip gloss with lipstick when possible. Lipstick has more color that lip-glosses and will reflect the sun rays away.

Foundation Tip
When picking a foundation, you should always keep in mind the natural look. The color of the foundation and the tone of your skin should always blend perfectly. To tell if the foundation is right for you, apply a little bit around the jawbone. If the color is right, you should not be able to tell that there’s any foundation applied. Keep trying until you get the right color. For best results, check your foundation in natural light (sunlight). Keep in mind that you skin-tone changes when you are exposed to the sun and so in summer time, what works today might not work tomorrow.
Make sure your skin is properly moisturized before you apply a foundation. A dry skin will absorb the foundation quickly, so do apply a moisturizer before application. If you have oily skin, only use foundation that are oil free. Also, only use a foundation with ultraviolet light protection (sun screen, SPF) to protect your skin from damage.
For an extra shine, you can blend shimmer powder with you foundation and apply it on the areas you want to stand out like around your eyes or you lips.
