That's right. Just when you think you're safe in applying lip balm, they tell you it's another thing that can give you cancer. Figures. The article explains how dermatologist, Christine Brown, has done the research for this. She explains how the lips are a sensitive area on the face and is more susceptible for skin cancer. She goes on to explain how applying a shiny lip gloss or chap stick actually increases the light penetration from the sun and can create a higher risk for skin cancer. I couldn't believe this article when I first saw it. However, I am very glad to know that the lip balm or gloss itself does not cause cancer.
