Ahead, the best—and most glamorous—ways to protect your lips all year long.

01-The-Best-Lip-Balms-with-SPF-for-Summer-Matthew-Cohenrd.comMatthew Cohen/rd.com Although our priority is protection, it’s never a bad idea to keep your lips nourished. Make sure you know the primary causes of chapped lips, and then look for lip products formulated with SPF that also happen to be the ones that know best how to take care of your lips. Look for products made with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E and Shea butter. For rich moisture, try The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care SPF 15, an “intense moisture serum” all for the lips. We also love Sun Bum SPF 30 Coconut Lip Balm for deep moisture with that summery, vacation feel of coconut.

Best tinted

Tinted lip balm means high-pigment payoff in addition to SPF protection. Jane Iredale Flirt LipDrink SPF 15 Lip Balm comes in four shades, from sheer to deep nude. If you’re looking for the perfect rose hue, try babo botanicals Seka Rose Mineral Sunscreen for a lip that’s just pink enough.
