Sunblock vs Sunscreen
You need to know this NOW!!!! 😳
Sunblock and sunscreen are both products designed to protect the skin from harmful UV radiation ☢️ . However, there are some differences between the two:
1. Function: Sunblock refers to physical sunscreen 🧢 that works by reflecting and scattering UV rays away from the skin. It forms a physical barrier on the skin’s surface🤦🏻♀️. On the other hand, sunscreen refers to chemical sunscreens that work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat⚡️. Sunscreen ingredients penetrate the skin to provide protection.⚡️
2. Ingredients: Sunblock typically contains ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which act as physical barriers and reflect UV rays. Sunscreen, on the other hand, contains various chemical compounds like avobenzone, oxybenzone, or octinoxate, which absorb and dissipate UV radiation.
3. Application: Sunblock usually leaves a visible white or opaque layer on the skin due to its physical barrier😶🌫️. In contrast, sunscreen is usually transparent and blends into the skin more easily.🤗
4. Protection: Sunblock tends to offer broader spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays since it physically reflects them.😎 Sunscreens can vary in terms of their spectrum coverage, so it’s important to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation.😅
It’s important to note that both sunblock and sunscreen need to be applied and reapplied regularly for effective protection against the sun’s harmful rays.
