Along with the back of the neck and tops of ears, the lips top the list of spots that often get overlooked when applying sunscreen. Even though your lips might not immediately burn or freckle, it doesn't mean you have a free pass from remembering to put SPF on them.  

Luckily, protecting your lips from the sun can be as easily as swiping on your favorite lip color. SPF-infused lip balms will shield them from UVA/UVB rays, plus they're often formulated with nourishing ingredients and antioxidants that'll keep dryness and cracking under control, too. And if smoothing a color on is going to keep you from neglecting your lips, there's there's a plethora of tinted options out there, too. 

Keep scrolling for the best tinted and clear SPF-infused lip balms to wear throughout the summer.
