How often should you actually reapply lip SPF?

Tracking mine was eye opening, the patterns really show up.

Thank you for sharing this, going to try it.

Honestly I used to think once in the morning was enough until a long ski day taught me otherwise, now I try to do it every couple of hours and always right after eating or drinking, because it wipes off way faster than you'd think.

I learned the hard way on a long ski day that once in the morning does not cut it, so now I try to reapply every hour or two and always after eating or drinking. Honestly just keeping the tube in my jacket pocket instead of my bag made the biggest difference for actually remembering.

Sleep makes a huge difference for me, more than I expected.

Welcome, and do not feel low, it is so common and manageable.

Honestly I just go by feel now, roughly every couple of hours or right after I eat, drink, or wipe my mouth, because that stuff comes off way faster than the label makes it sound. I used to put it on once in the morning and wonder why I still got burned lips on the slopes, so the reapplying habit made a bigger difference for me than which balm I picked.
