RE: sunburned lips

["Susan Swope-Attardi" <nagzarus@worldnet.att.net>]

There are lots of lip balms with many different flavors that contain
anywhere from 15-30 SPF sunscreen in them. I usually get mine at a drugstore
or Wal-Mart. I'm pretty fair, and I've had good luck with as low as the 15,
but prefer the 30. It also helps with wind burn. I apply it before the
start, keep it right in the small card pack (from Running Bear) I attach
between the "D" rings of my pommel. I apply it as needed... as it is easy to
access and can be done on the fly.

Subject: RC: sunburned lips


On our LD ride over the weekend, I slathered on the sunscreen and put
ChapStick on my lips to try to avoid sunburn.  My skin was fine, but I have
the worst case of sunburn ever on my lips.  I have blisters and the skin on
my lips is now peeling off.  What do you guys use to prevent sunburn on
lips?
 AND what do you use to relieve the discomfort if your lips are sunburned.
Aloe vera tastes bad and ChapStick isn't helping (just like it didn't help
prevent the sunburn, despite their CLAIM right on the label that the stuff
prevents sunburn!)  Sorry, a little crabby today and looking for some help.
