Lip Gloss,
Skin Cancer
Lip gloss is considered by many women to be their number
one cosmetic. They simply will not leave home without
it. It keeps our lips moisturized, soft, supple, and
that shimmer makes us feel attractive. Right? Yes, indeed.
We all love that feel.
So, am I talking about the ingredients inside the lip
gloss, the addition of lead (as some do have) or the
parabens? No, that’s not the issue either, though you
should take that into consideration when you are ready
to make a purchase of a new gloss.
The problem lies in the fact that most lip glosses do
not have any sun protection factor in them. When you
go outside, you know that you must protect your skin,
especially the skin of your face and hands because of
the UV rays that are constantly bombarding those exposed
parts. Personally, I don’t care for the taste of sunscreen,
and so I never put it on my lips.
My mistake has been perpetuated by hundreds of thousands
of people. We have forgotten that our lips are skin
too, and as such, they need to be protected from the
sun. People who spend a great deal of time in the sun
often get lesions on their lips that are called actinic
keratoses. Left untreated, these can actually become
raised and wart-like.
