Suggest Safest Alternative For Lip Protection From Sun

Over the past year, I have started becoming allergic to certain types of ChapStick. I ve been able to make down 2 main ingredients that make my lips irritated. Camphor and spf. Is there any alternative for lip protection from the sun? I have read some things online about different types of spf, but I m not sure and could use some advice.

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you are allergiv to certain ingredient of lim balm and wondering how to protect lips from sun . I would suggest you to use lip balm with beeswax as its base , use some sugar and olive oil to exfoliate your skin and remove the accumulated dead skin cells . You can also apply honey on lips which is natural healer and protect your lips from sun . If you are getting allergic reaction from SPF factor the use low SPF factor like SPF 15 . You can also use broad spectrum camphor free lip balm with SPF 15 . If condition doesn't get improve then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe vitamin C serum or retinoids .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
