Can I use lipstick and use the lip balm for protection?

Yes, you can absolutely use Afterthought's SPF 50 PA+++ Lip Balm for protection under lipstick! Here's how you can effectively combine the two:

• Apply the Lip Balm First: Start by applying a thin layer of Afterthought's SPF 50 Lip Balm to your lips. This will provide a protective barrier, hydrate, and shield your lips from UV damage and environmental stress.

• Allow It to Absorb: Give the lip balm a few minutes to absorb into your lips, ensuring they’re moisturized but not greasy. This will help the lipstick apply smoothly and evenly.

• Apply Your Lipstick: Once the lip balm has settled, you can apply your lipstick on top. The balm will help keep your lips hydrated throughout the day and prevent dryness caused by some lipsticks.

How long it takes to get rid of pigmentation?

The time it takes to reduce or eliminate lip pigmentation using a product like Afterthought's Lip Balm with Kojic Acid and Niacinamide can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the pigmentation, individual skin type, and consistency of use. Generally, here’s a timeline:

• Mild Pigmentation: Results can be noticed within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use. You'll start to see brighter lips and an improvement in overall texture.

• Moderate Pigmentation: It may take 4 to 8 weeks of regular use to see significant fading of darker spots or uneven pigmentation. Continued application will help maintain a uniform lip tone.

• Severe Pigmentation: For deeper, more stubborn pigmentation, it could take 8 to 12 weeks or longer. However, consistent daily application is key for noticeable improvements.

If the results are slow, or if pigmentation is highly resistant, consulting with a dermatologist might be advisable for further treatment options.

SPF 50 PA+++

Afterthought SPF 50 Lip Balm PA+++ uses a combination of emollients and protective agents that contribute to UV protection. Here are some key ingredients and their roles:

• Petrolatum: Acts as a protective barrier, helping to prevent moisture loss while shielding the skin from environmental factors, including UV rays.

• Octyldodecanol: A fatty alcohol used to improve skin barrier function and provide some level of UV absorption.

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): These antioxidants help neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure, enhancing the photoprotective effect.

• Niacinamide: Known for its skin-repairing and barrier-strengthening properties, it also aids in reducing the damage caused by UV exposure.

• Avocado Butter (Persea Gratissima): Provides a natural barrier and soothes the skin, further enhancing the product's ability to protect against external factors.

While these ingredients support the protective nature of the formula, the SPF and PA+++ ratings are primarily derived from specialized UV filters used in the formulation process, even though these may not be separately listed.
