Shield your lips from the sun with these multi-tasking SPF lip balms

Let’s be real—your lips deserve as much attention as the rest of your skincare routine. Whether you’re jetting off on a beach vacay, planning outdoor bridal events, or just braving the daily commute, early lip care prep is key. And no, we’re not just talking about hydration—we’re talking SPF.

SPF, short for Sun Protection Factor, acts like a tiny shield against those sneaky UV rays that can cause dryness, darkening, and even long-term pigmentation. In today’s beauty landscape, where conscious, functional skincare is everything, SPF-infused lip products are your non-negotiable. Think nourishing balms, tinted glosses, hydrating oils, and gentle scrubs that double up as sun protection and lip love.

From Hyphen to Elizabeth Arden, here are five SPF-powered lip essentials that bring the glow and guard your pout, perfect for every soon-to-be bride, travel girlie, or skincare-first commuter.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF-15, ₹1,750

Whether you are headed to the beach or out on a romantic brunch date, think of the Elizabeth Arden tint as an advanced lip protector that offers SPF 15 along with 8 hours of hydration and a bonus sheer wash of colour. This lip protectant stick sunscreen will ensure your pout looks pretty and is protected wherever you go. Just toss it in your bag and reach for it whenever you need the perfect lip-care fix.

This 82°E lippie delivers more than just shine. With power-packed pomegranate extracts and SPF 15, this illuminating lip oil protects lips from sun damage, and thanks to ceramides in the formula, it rebuilds the skin barrier as well. Think nourishment, repair, and natural glow all at once.
