Two plain lip balm sticks with the caps on, on a dusty crate.

BS-050

Essential

Lip balm with SPF

Burning Man dust gear

Lip balm with SPF. The air out here is dry enough to crack your lips.

Why it's on the list

The city's own guide puts lip balm next to sunscreen. The playa pulls moisture out of you before you feel hot. A stick in the day bag gets used. A tube in the toiletry bin does not. SPF on the label, because the sun at this elevation burns a lip the same way it burns a shoulder.

How we use it

Buy two. One lives with the goggles. The cap stays on, because an open stick is a dust stick. Reapply when you reapply sunscreen.

Heads up

It is comfort for cracked lips, not a medicine, and not a substitute for water.

Lip balm with SPF

A couple of sticks are often under $15
