that's the lips - luckily there's plenty of SPF lip balms and other products on the market that help to solve this issue. According to the Mayo Clinic, excessive sun exposure to

the lips can be one of the biggest cancer-causing risks to the area. They recommend using "an SPF of at least 30, even during the winter or when the sky is cloudy". One option

comes from LookFantastic, who has reduced the price of the Ultrasun Lip Protection SPF50 to £8. This best-seller is packed with soothing ingredients such as shea butter, argan oil, and

vitamin E which helps to condition cracked and chapped areas of the lips. READ MORE: Dunelm's £15 patio table 'perfect size for a coffee or glass of wine' READ MORE: Skechers

'padded' trainers that are 'still comfy after 12 hours' now £35 There's also products that act as both an SPF and makeup product. For example, the Ultra Violette

Sheen Screen Hydrating SPF50 Lip Balm comes in eight colours - priced at £17 it's slightly pricier, however it allows you to ditch your regular lip gloss by acting as a two in one. At

LookFantastic, the Ultra Violette lip balm has a 4.61 star rating, with one shopper writing: "I love the colour, how hydrating it is and the fact that it has SPF 50! My new go-to summer

lip gloss!" Another shopper wrote: "I’ve wanted to try this for ages and did not disappoint! Not sticky, gives protection and keeps lips hydrated. Will buy again." Although,

this buyer knocked off a couple of stars, writing: "I'm a bit on the fence with this lip balm... It feels nice, has a very light tint, I love that it has SPF but it has a strange

chemical taste that I can't get past." REHAB, known for its hair care products, is currently running an offer on the new UV Hair Oil & SPF Lip Oil Bundle, now £31.50 down from

£42. This bundle contains a Sunshine Spritz UV Protection Hair Oil and a Sunshine Spritz SPF 15 Lip Oil - however shoppers should note this only contains an SPF 15 which is a lower level of

protection. The hair oil comes in the form of individual capsules, which allows you to dispense the perfect amount of product each time. According to the product description: "The

advanced formula works to seal the hair cuticle with a protective layer to shield strands from humidity and UV damage, which can lead to colour fade, dryness, brittleness and breakage."

Meanwhile, the lip oil has a soft peachy tint and is enriched with peptides to 'smooth and plump' the lips while protecting them. However, shoppers should remember this only

contains an SPF 15. If you're looking to spend less, Amazon currently has the NIVEA SUN Protect Caring Lip Balm SPF50 for £3. Over 10,000 have been bought from Amazon alone in the last

month, with the product earning a 4.6/5 star score overall. Article continues below This option provides no colour and no white cast, ideal for a more subtle look. Boasting a 4.6/5 star

score on Amazon, and a 4.5 star score at Boots, shoppers enjoy its "reasonable price" and high protection, although some say it can be drying - view the Amazon deal here.
