This past weekend I coated myself with sunscreen for the multiple soccer games my sons had. But Saturday night I realized my lips were burned and yesterday they were peeling. Yuck!

I remember when we went to Disneyland in July one year we had this problem. And I'm thinking it could be a problem for DisneyWorld this August.

So what sunscreen do you use for your lips?

Been using it for years, on a daily basis, under my lipstick, or alone if I'm not wearing lipstick. Nice creamy formula, doesn't feel waxy like chapstick.

Chapstick makes a stick that has SPF 30, works great- use it all the time at beach.

I've used the chapstick with the added sunscreen, and I'm currently using a Mary Kay lip protectant.

It comes in a skinny tube that's easy to keep tucked in your pocket, for easy access. Great flavors, and it's SPF 30, too! I pick it up at Target. Avoid the tinted colors, though. They don't feel smooth on your lips when applied.

Chapstick SPF 15, or whatever I find on sale in sale bin at the store. :) I agree about the tinted Softlips. I don't like it at all! I also used to use Avon lip balm all the time when my MIL was an Avon Lady. Also works well.

I couldn't find the chapstick at Target today but I did find Banana Boat SPF45 in a stick for lips. I'll give that a try. I've bought the Soft Lips before but the tinted kind and I agree with you all on that.

Thanks!

Can I just say the past 2 times I've gone to the Dis within the first few days my lipskin (wow that sounds weird) started acting funny and went away when I bought chapstick with spf protection in it. It never occured to me they were getting sunburned.

Mary Kay Lip Balm. I love it because it is smooth and non-sticky.

The Banana Boat SPF45 sounds interesting. I need something for DD 7 during our August trip. Has anyone actually used the Banana Boat?

Well, I made the whole family try it today when we went out to the boys soccer games. With about three hours in the sun and wind,none of us got sunburned lips today. And the boys didn't mind using it because it doesn't have a strong scent. So far, I'll give it a :thumbsup2.

Thanks so much, that is great to hear. I will absolutely buy it for our August trip. :thumbsup2
