I tested three of the best SPF lip balms that can be reapplied with ease on sunny days – one is a real treat
Scroll down to find out which store has launched a new Skinkind range LIP TIP I tested three of the best SPF lip balms that can be reapplied with ease on sunny days – one is a real treat Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) I ADORE tinted lip balms, but SPF is essential on these sunny days, so I've swapped my two-in-one for a longwear lip liner, followed by a clear SPF lip balm that I can reapply with ease. These are three of the best. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 We put three best SPF lip balms to the test BUDGET E45 Protection Lip Balm SPF30, £7.99 for 10ml, 4 This E45 Protection Lip Balm SPF30 really packs a punch to repair chipped lips E45 was a staple in my family growing up, so it's a brand I trust implicitly – even if it's not always the prettiest on the shelf. When E45 launched suncare last year, I was pleasantly surprised with how sophisticated the formulas were, and this new lip balm is no different. With vitamin E, squalane and shea butter, it really packs a punch to repair chapped lips and keep them hydrated all year round, and the SPF 30 is an added bonus. It's also fragrance-free, which is great news for anyone with sensitive skin that irritates easily. MID-RANGE KIKO Milano Sun Protection Lip Balm SPF 50, £12.99 for 4.8g, 4 KIKO Milano Sun Protection Lip Balm SPF 50 is shiny without being gloopy This is my absolute go-to if I'm on holiday somewhere hotter than the UK or if I'm going to be in the sun all day, as it's one of the only lip balms I've found with full SPF 50 protection. I love the translucent bullet – it reminds me of my favourite SPF stick, and the added hyaluronic acid and vitamin E ingredients keep my lips hydrated for hours. Although, I try to remember to reapply at least once an hour, especially if I'm eating or drinking, to ensure they are protected against sun damage. This is also the shiniest of all three products here, without being gloopy. The Inkey List has launched new tinted lip balms, and they have saved my dry lips this summer LUXURY Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15, £23, 4 The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick applies smoothly and leaves a subtle sheen There's something so nostalgic about the scent of Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour products, so I always enjoy applying this lip balm, and have used it for years. It goes on smoothly, and leaves a subtle sheen that feels super-hydrating – but it's not at all shiny like a gloss or an oil. My one gripe is the Factor 15 protection – I wish it were higher. But to make up for it, I apply a few layers, and top up more regularly. There aren't many luxurious SPF lip balms on the market, so this is a real treat.
