During our latest weekend adventure someone who will not be named – and by that I mean Mark – managed to get a bit sunburnt. Sure he had a jacket on the whole time and it was chilly but the sun was still out in full force. And while it is now the season of making sure you put sunscreen on I wanted to dedicated today’s post to something else you need to ensure you protect, your lips!

Can’t believe that I didn’t know that Elta makes lip sunscreen.
I use the special one for my face, the 45 for everyday and the sport one when I am going to the beach or know it will be a really sweaty tennis game.
Thanks for the heads up.

I can’t wait to order a bunch of these. I want to try them all out and see what works the best for me. Such an important product that often gets overlooked.
Jeannie says
I am so good about sunscreen for my face and body but must admit I am a bit remiss regarding my lips.
Thanks for the reminder and the suggestions.
