The warmth and energy of the sun may be pleasant, but sun exposure is actually one of the biggest threats to the health of your lips and facial skin. Because your lips lack melanin and sebaceous glands , they are especially prone to sunburn, dryness, and premature aging.
At L'Aurora, we believe that everyday UV protection is an important part of lip care - not just in summer, but all year round.
Why is sunlight dangerous for our lips?
- The skin on the lips is thinner than on the rest of the body.
- They do not contain melanin , which provides natural protection against UV rays.
- They do not have sebaceous glands , so they cannot moisturize themselves.
All this means that lips are extremely sensitive to environmental influences, especially UV radiation and pollutants.
The effects of sunlight on facial skin and lips
- Premature aging (loss of elasticity, fine wrinkles)
- Dryness, peeling, irritation
- Formation of pigment spots on the lips
- Slowing of regeneration due to UVB damage
- In severe cases: actinic cheilitis , a precancerous condition
How to protect yourself? – Practical tips
✅ Use a lip balm with SPF (at least SPF 15)
✅ Wear a wide-brimmed hat or seek shade
✅ Avoid the sun during its most intense hours (11:00 AM–3:00 PM)
✅ Always reapply sunscreen after eating, drinking or swimming
✅ Ensure proper hydration – inside and out 💧
Regenerating care after sunbathing
After strong sun exposure, it is worth relying on ingredients that:
- They contain antioxidants (e.g. vitamin E, astaxanthin)
- They provide intensive hydration (hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, shea butter)
- Supports nighttime regeneration and skin renewal
