" Will wearing SPF-free gloss in the sunlight increase the potential of burning my lips since the gloss is so shiny? Believe it or not, going solo with gloss can indeed increase your chances of lip burn on sunny days. But it&amp;#039;s not because of the shine factor, says San Francisco dermatologist Richard Glogau. Gloss gives your lips a heavy-duty shot of moisture in addition to a sexy sheen. Although that moisture will prevent your lips from chapping or peeling, it also actually acts as a superconductor of damaging UV rays, allowing them to penetrate the skin more quickly.  To protect your pucker in the sun, stay away from clear gloss. Pick one with a bit of color instead, since the pigment is a natural sunblock. Try Senna Lip Lacquer in Orangeism, $15, or Urban Decay Lip Gunk in Burn Out, $13. You could also first line and fill in your lips with a nude pencil for the same protective-pigment effect. Or prep your lips with a slick of lip balm containing SPF 15 or higher. Try Chap Stick Lip Moisturizer SPF 15, $1.79. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
