Remember last week when we were chatting about all things lipstick?
In the comments section, a question was asked by reader Leslie, Can anyone recommend a lip stick/gloss/glaze that has sun protection? I am a fair-skinned golfer and spend many hours at a time in the sun.
Excellent question Leslie and one that I’ve investigated for you.
Five Lipsticks With SPF
1. SPF30 Lipstick Cancer Council | $14.95 | available in 8 colours
2. Peaches & Cream Lip Quench Lipstick SPF30 Face Of Australia | $9.45 | available in 14 colours
3. L’Absolu Rouge Rouge Lipstick SPF12 Lancome | $50 | available in 50 shades
4. Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon SPF15 | $15 | available in 9 shades
5. SPF15 Lip Balm MooGoo | $5.50 | not a lipstick but a natural SPF lip balm
To be honest, before the question was asked I hadn’t really considered purchasing a lipstick with SPF in it. Had you?
I mean I do use a lip balm with SPF in it on a regular basis but a lipstick with SPF is now on my must have make-up list. Thank you Leslie for asking the question and giving each of us something to think about.
Stay Sun Smart
And of course, living in Australia we all know that the key to being sun smart is
- wearing protective clothing
- wearing plenty of sunscreen
- slapping on a hat
- standing/sitting/relaxing in the shade
- wearing sunglasses
whenever we’re outside.
I wish I’d done more of all of those things in my teens and early 20’s because I am well and truly paying for it now with all sorts of not so fun things appearing on my rapidly collapsing face. (Hello pigmentation and age spots. You are such a delight to meet and not at all an expensive exercise to get rid of!!)
