'Tis the season to be golden, tanned, and unfortunately SUNBURNED. So we better keep products with SPF in stock.
FYI, The lips are the most prone to sun damage because this is the part with the thinnest layer of skin. It can darken and chap easily, and is prone to different sun- related skin inflammations such as the HERPES ZOSTER PLEXIS (I should know how painful this inflammation is. I had it twice this year!).
