SPF in lipstick?

Texasmouse · ‎09-27-2010

Happy Independence Day, beauties!

I follow the dermatologist Dr. Dray on YT and like all derms, she's an advocate of using sunscreen on all exposed parts of the body, INCLUDING lips. There are a couple of products she uses and endorses but these, like many sunscreens for the body, leave a white film and most of us don't want to use something under our lipstick that's going to alter the color, so I thought I'd tap into the wealth of information that is this board and it's beauties for a solution. I'd like to find a lip color product (and it can be a lipstick, liquid lip color or gloss) that is reasonably priced and has an SPF of at least 30 (the lowest number recommended by derms). Does anything like that exist? TIA!

I look forward to the replies as i agree with spf in lip products. I've only found ones with chemical sunscreens though- not only do I want to avoid the chemicals but they're very drying ! I doubt they were 30 spf as well-

Supergoop has them with spf 30. Perricone and others make them but most are spf 15 or 20. A lot of lip balms are higher but you won't get color, just protection.

I've been using the Sephora Rouge Balm with SPF 20. It's pretty pigmented and wears like a lipstick, not a balm. It's not matte, has a slick consistency, and is very moisturizing. I have the color Bashful Beige, which is a nudey pink. I don't know what kind of SPF it is. I assume it's chemical. Other than that, the only lip products I have with SPF are definitely lip balms. Hope this helps.
