The fact is that lip gloss and lip balm not only do not protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation, but also attract harmful radiation. Most people are not even aware of the need to protect the skin of the lips from the sun’s rays, and in fact it is so delicate and thin that it needs much more powerful protection than the skin of other parts of the body.
Cancer of the skin of the lower lip is considered especially dangerous, Dr. Brown recalls, since in this case it is highly likely that it will spread to nearby lymph nodes.
The warning does not mean at all that lip gloss should forever leave the beauty bags of beautiful ladies. Gloss can be used if you first apply a sunscreen cream on your lips. If you plan to be in the sun for at least twenty minutes, choose a sun protection factor (SPF) cream with a figure of at least thirty.
