Sun Protection Factor Lipstick Prevents Skin Damage to Lips

Lips need protection from the sun and UV rays and the best way to protect the lips from damage and to keep their youthful appearence is to buy lipstick with care

Women of course know the importance of lips to their appearance, and by using lipstick they go to some lengths to make them more prominent, more attractive and appealing to the opposite sex. Yes, women know the significance of lips and how to bring attention to them.

UV Damaged Lips

Apply a film of lipstick and lips are ready for a luscious, lingering kiss. But lipstick should do more than attract a potential mate or accentuate the lips’ fullness and beauty. According to a Bangkok Post report, lipstick also has a part in helping to protect the lips’ delicate skin. We slap sun protection on our faces and bodies when sunbathing but our poor lips are often ignored, and many of us fail to protect them properly. Lips are as prone to environmental damage as the rest of the facial skin, and unlike the rest of the body, which can be covered and protected from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, lips are constantly on show and always vulnerable to sun and environmental damage.

Ultra Violet Rays and Sun Screen

So it is just as important to protect lips from UV damage. There are two types of ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB that can damage lips and contribute to ageing; UVA damages the deeper skin tissues and UVB the more superficial layers. But both will reduce the amount of collagen, elastin and hyarulonic acid all three are plentiful in youthful lips but are not so abundant in the more mature.

Protecting lips with a broad spectrum sunscreen will keep them safe, soft and attractive. Because of its position the bottom lip is more vulnerable to sun damage and skin cancer. Many women will pay attention to the signs of ageing around the eyes noticing the development of crows’ feet and of fine lines on the forehead that announce the onset of maturity. Many will go to lengths to delay their onset, by applying anti-ageing or anti-wrinkle creams, but many women will also forget that the lips are also important structures in showing the progress of ageing.

Signs of Ageing

These signs are the onset of lines on the lips and around the lip margins and a thinning of he lips themselves. This tends to happen in the late 30s and 40s and of course progressively worsens. While many women will want to just apply some clear lip gloss they may be unaware that this will increase the amount of UV rays that penetrate the skin and so enhance premature ageing.

In addition the skin around the lips is in almost constant motion, with smiling, talking, laughing, eating and even grimacing. Because of this and the effects of unprotected sun exposure and of course smoking signs of premature ageing appear early on the unprotected lips.

Lipstick Colours and Protection

As most women will apply some kind of lipstick, lip gloss or moisturiser most days the advice is to protect your lips with a product that has a sun protection factor incorporated into it. So the smart lipstick wearer will not just look for the colours they like or the amount of shine and lustre the product will give to the lips but how much sun and environmental protection the lipstick or gloss provides.

By buying wisely and using the appropriate product lipstick is as important in staving off the effects of premature ageing as is eye and facial care products.
