Experts recommend using an SPF-rated lip balm, such as Nivea A Kiss of Protection Sun Protection Lip Care SPF 30, during the day to protect lips against sun damage. Reviewers say the lip balm has a surprisingly nice texture despite the high SPF and is very moisturizing thanks to its emollients, including vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil. Nivea A Kiss of Protection provides broad-spectrum protection from the sun with titanium dioxide, an ingredient that can leave a bit of a white cast on your lips. Users say that it is easily concealed with lipstick or lip gloss. If you prefer an all-natural option, Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm (*Est. $3) gets good reviews but it doesn't contain sunscreen.
