Fit Lip is a campaign aimed at encouraging people to wear SPF lip balm in order to protect their lips, prevent lip cancer & generally keep their pout healthy.
The campaign was founded by Ali Lowe, a dental hygienist and student on Victoria Wilsons Smile Revolution course. Ali has a keen interest in facial aesthetics and is passionate about maintaining the wholesome appearance of the lips. She has noted that people diligently apply sunscreen to their face, wear sunglasses to protect their eyes, but all too often, forget to do their lips the same justice by protecting them with an SPF lip balm.
This is the proverbial chink in the armour as UV damage to your pout can lead to lip cancer-a form of head and neck cancer that starts in the squamous cells of the lips and mouth. If not caught early treatment for lip cancer can have many functional and cosmetic consequences- resulting in difficulty with speech, chewing, and swallowing. Also, surgery may result in disfigurement of the lips and face.
So, prevention is better than cure & whilst Baz Lurmann’s 1999 chart-topping song ‘Always wear Sunscreen’ may have been a one hit wonder, all those years ago, today, the sentiment is as strong as ever- especially for your lips! Everyone should wear a broad-spectrum SPF lip balm regardless of age, gender, or skin type. No matter what the occasion there is an SPF lip balm out there to suit all eventualities-after all do, we really want lips to die for?
