You need to use regular SPF protection for you lips. Not only can lips get sunburned, but repeated sun exposure can lead to lip cancer. A study found that lip glosses and any shiny substance on the lips attracts the sun and actually increases sun exposure. Fortunately lip cancer is fairly rare - but it can be disfiguring and deadly. Sun exposure is one of the main risk factors.
