My dermatologist has finally convinced me that I need to wear sunscreen all year round for running/walking and just being outside. Prepping for a morning run has lots of steps and gear gathering. I know. It’s easy to overlook your lips. But, no one wants sunburn or hyperpigmentation on their lips. Lip Balm with SPF to the rescue!

Thanks for the reminder, Deborah! I don’t protect my skin in winter and I need to change that!
We have just arrived in Cape Town and I should really get some lip balm with SPF. I’m going to buy some Burt’s Bees today!
Glad I inspired you. Check the label on the Burt’s Bees only some of them have SPF
These all look great. I usually wear a moisturizer with SPF but haven’t been wearing anything just for my lips. I should look into trying one of these.
Yes, it’s super important
So many lip balms! Who knew Jack Black had a lip balm? I stick to the tried and true, ChapStik. I’ve had problems breaking out with a lot of lip balms. It’s pretty random, but there must be an ingredient that my lips don’t like!
Interesting I’ve not heard of that before
Uber dry skin here, so I’ve always been adamant about moisturizing as well as sun protection. There’s a few brands here that I haven’t seen before, so thanks for the recs!
You bet! I peg you for a few of the tinted ones 🙂
Thanks for the recommendations Deborah! This is one thing I always forget about during runs but it is so important!
Yes, it’s definitely essential all year round
I love Burt’s Bees and Aquaphor. Recently I started using Carmex since my lips are super dry in the Winter.
The winter sure does do a number on the lips!
I love the Fresh one, I actually have that exact shade!
It’s a great one!
I once ran on a cloudy day and decided not to wear sunscreen. Was shocked to come home and find I had a tan line. So its sunscreen throughout the year for me too! Thanks for all these lip balm options. I like most neutrogena products so will look out for that lip balm too!
Oh yes it’s so important! I have already had a few things removed which is not fun at all
I actually like Babo tinted lip balm because it’s got some SPF in it. Although I do usually start out with a mask on, so I’m generally not using it these days! Darn Pandemic. Even before, though, I’d kind of stopped using lipstick at all — this is pretty much all I use!
As long as you use SPF that’s good. I know the mask gets in the way of everything!
Team BurtsBees, but I might have to look for Supergoop on name alone!
For me it’s as much about the wind protection as the sun. The skin on our lips is so thin that winter just destroys it
Yes winter does do a number on your skin. I use the Supergoop sunscreen on my face year round it has a tint and spf 40. They have a bunch of great products even hand cream with spf
These are some great options! I recently discovered aquaphor with the babies and I now need to try that lip gloss. Great suggestions here.
aquaphor products are fantastic!
I’m a bit of a lip balm addict but I haven’t tried a couple of these. That will be remedied soon enough. Lol. Thanks Deborah.
Fantastic! You will love any of these. I have tried them all. I am also do love a good lip balm
Big fan of SPF all-year-round! Burt’s Bees is my favorite!
Me too so important!
I haven’t even heard of half of these!
I am allergic to a lot of sunscreens, so honestly, I try to run before the sun comes out or gets strong to save myself the agony. I don’t really pay much attention to my lip balm, but it’s a small thing I can do.
yes it’s super important so I hope that one of them works for you
I recently started using Aquaphor and it is amazing! Seems to stay on way longer than other brands.
It is a good one!
I go through lip balms and chapstick like crazy! I’m going to have to try a few more of these brands to see if I can find one that I love!
Oh good I hope you find some great options that work for you
Thanks for the awesome recommendations! my lips have been so so dry lately
Hope you find a few that work for you
Aquaphor ALL the way!! I use it DAILY in the winter time! I also like the Fresh Sugar! I had a friend gift that to me once and I loved it! With that said, I’m always willing to try new lip balms so this is a great list! I always love to hear what other people are using and what I could be missing out on!
Can’t miss out! 🙂
Burts Bees is my favorite for winter runs!
It is a great product
Thanks for the tips. There are so many brands that I never know which one to buy.
I mostly wear lipstick all the time and it prevents my lips from drying out and has SPF. And color, of course.
It is easy to forget to protect your lips while out on a run
Great post! I like the variety of options here. I’ve been using the Supergoop sunscreen this summer and I like it, so maybe I’ll check out their lip gloss!
Yes it’s my favorite brand as well and the lip spf is great as well
So important and yet so easy to forget the lips! Thanks for the reminder Deborah.
yes, it is easy to forget them but they are super sensitive to sun
These sound great I’m heading to the beach this weekend so I definitely need it
great! hope you find some that work for you
Yes!! We gotta keep those lips kissable LOL I’m always in lipstick, of some sort, so I got my lips covered most of the time. Not all lipstick has SPF, though, so I layer it over the lip balms that do have SPF. Nothing wrong with a little shimmer, am I right?
I also like a little color. I put the spf on first then the color!
I like Burt’s Bees but will check out Neutrogena as well!
They are both great options
So many different products here, so great you put this list together. SPF is so important!!
yes, it is!
We’re not runners but it’s so important for everyone to protect their lips in the sun! These are great recommendations gonna give some a try, thanks!!
yes it is important to protect your lips whatever you are doing out there
I’ve been wearing Burts Bees forever! You’ve got some brands on this list that are new to me – thanks for the suggestions 🙂
Burt’s bees is great but not all of them have SPF. Glad you found a few more to try.
I so need to be better at this, my lips get so cracked in the winter months.
It is great to protect them year around from the sun and elements
That burts bees lip balm is THE best!
they are great staples
Well I’m always in lipstick, so I’m covered in that sense :-). I do need to pay better attention to making sure to layer the SPF under it, though.
yes, it is super important!
Yes, there are actually more steps in Summer! In Winter I really do feel I can get away without the sunscreen (except my face) because seriously nothing is the least bit exposed.
I like Babo Lip Balm, which does have SPF. That I have no trouble doing year round!
I will check that one out too!
Ooh… I want to try that Jack Black! I haven’t been using any sunscreen on my lips, oops. I’ll check it out.
They are great lip balms you definitely need spf in Florida
Like Kim, I usually wear lipstick. I need to remember to add sunscreen.
Yes the sun protection is key!
yes, year round……some of my worst have been winter runs in the sun…..
yes, I agree I also wear it year round so important
I use a moisturizer with SPF, otherwise, I’d probably never remember sunscreen on its own. I always keep lip balm handy – Burts Bees and Fresh Sugar are my go-to’s.
Brilliant topic! I like the Burt’s Bees. I think any of the glosses would be too sticky in our humidity.
It is so important to keep ours lips protected as well
We had our annual dermatologists appointment in February and he recommended the same brand as your first lip balm: Aquaphor. I just saw it’s made by Beiersdorf, a German company.
I bought the skin care, but not the lip balm. I will do that, though!
I really like that one all year around their products are great
I feel like I rarely get to run in the sun/daylight anymore but this is a good reminder for when I do!
Ha you are like a vampire! But yes, it really is important to wear sunscreen all the time
I’ve become very good about sunscreen since my Mohs surgery but I’m really bad about applying lip balm at any time of the day. I will check these out and try to get better.
Most lip balms don’t have SPF in them so it’s super important to make sure they do!
Great reminders, and nice recommendations! As you know, I don’t leave the house without a little bit of shimmer (dry skin = dry lips), but it’s been awhile since I’ve checked out some new SPF options (for the “base” under the shimmer).
Yes I am a big fan of color as well but always try to remember to use the spf underneath it!
What a great and comprehensive list! I’m terrible with lip balm (the boys always steal mine). Thanks for sharing this info. It’s so easy to forget about protecting your lips!
Yes it is easy to forget but you are in the sun a lot so super important:)
Oh, great timing for this reminder, Deborah! Just yesterday I was thinking that I need to get a good lip balm again. I will have a lookout for these brands when we travel to the US tomorrow.
great they are all inexpensive and yes, it is so important to protect our lips from eh sun as well
This is an important reminder and there are some great suggestions here! I feel like with all the wind we have had lately that’s just an extra reasons to use moisturizer and lip balm with SPF when outside.
Lots of people neglect the spf for lips and they can get lots of damage from the sun
I’m pretty good with using sunscreen when I run (and always) but I admit I tend to forget about my lips. Thanks for the reminder.
I am definitely seeing sign of aging around my lips and will be paying more attention myself
I am terrible about lip balm – it always feels so heavy and sticky. But you (and your derm) are 100% correct… it’s important and we should all be aware of it.
I sure is especially important to ward off sun damage
