Guapura 101: Use Lip Balm With SPF

You may say, “Sara, why would I use lip balm with SPF? Why should I protect my lips against the sun?” I would counter, “Because you can protect yourself, your skin and ward off fever blisters.”

It’s true, my dentist told me so.

As the unfortunate victim to occasional fever blisters, my dentist told me that using SPF in lip balm would help — surely a much better plan than dealing with the blisters themselves. Since, I’ve made a concerted effort to do so and the result is that I get much fewer of these suckers.

That’s not even to mention that you are also protecting your skin when you protect your lips, you know, skin cancer? You really don’t have to change much to do this, there’s lip balm with SPF everywhere and if you use lipstick, start off with a layer of lip balm!

It’s an easy, smart way to protect yourself. Plus, if you get the coconut version as I do, it’s really pleasant, too!
