Do I really need to put spf on my lips?

Yes, according to Bobbi Brown senior pro artist, Warren Dowdall. ‘It is so important to ensure your lips get the same SPF treatment as the rest of your face, if not more!’ he says. ‘The skin on your lips is much thinner and more delicate yet receives the same amount of UV rays as the rest of your face, but with less natural protection. Plus, over-exposure to the sun destroys the collagen in lips, which can eventually make them thinner.’
