Lip care with UV protection: unattractive designs, with a few exceptions
29.8.2022
Translation: Eva Francis
Lip care products with UV protection are only for hikers and snow sports enthusiasts. At least, that’s what their «designs» suggest. However, I found a few lip balms that offer sun protection and meet my aesthetic requirements.
I think you see what I’m getting at.
Of course, it’s what’s inside that counts. But is it too much to ask of a beauty product to have a pretty design on top of functionality? I’d say no. That’s why I went looking for alternatives to the usual brands, Labello & Co.
For a designer handbag: Bobbi Brown’s Lip Balm with SPF 15
You like to spend more money than necessary for everyday items? If so, Bobbi Brown is for you. This sticky balm in a silver tin looks classy, is scented like all luxury care products and guarantees a bougie feeling. It features nourishing oils of avocado, olive and wheat germ, as well as beeswax and aloe vera. There is a hygiene disadvantage: you apply the product with your fingers.
For a school backpack: Coola’s Liplux Sunscreen «Original» with SPF 30
For a jute bag: Mimitika’s Sunscreen Lip Balm with SPF 20
For a makeup bag: Shiseido’s UV Lip Color Splash with SPF 30
Lip care doesn’t have to be invisible. Sheiseidos «UV Lip Color Splash» features a range of colours and is the perfect complement to your makeup. My favourite is «Uluru Red», a cool red with a slight pink tinge from the tube.
For a clutch: Coola’s Liplux hydrating lip oil «Golden Glow» with SPF 30
Coola's Liplux oil is definitely «that girl» material. The light oil smells fruity, moisturises the lips and gives them a beautiful shine.
There are over 80,000 beauty products and counting on the Galaxus website. That’s quite a range. For just that reason, I regularly share my favourites from a pool of both novelties and classics.
