Sunblock and Sunscreen
So up to this point in my life, I never really realized that
there is actually a difference between sunblock and sunscreen. Naturally you
are now begging me to answer your question “What is the difference?!
--Sunscreen has properties in it that actually absorb the
sunlight and UV rays while at the same time reducing the harmful rays that do
damage to your skin. Typically when you put on sunscreen, it comes on clearer
and easily washes off. Sunscreen is probably the better of the two skin
protecting lotions for tanning.
--Sunblock has properties in it that block the UV rays and
stop them from reaching your skin altogether! Sunblock is generally thicker and
a little more difficult to wash off. This is why you can put sunblock on before
going out into the sun and won’t have to re-apply if your skin gets wet from
swimming at the beach or whatever.
So you can find sunscreen almost anywhere, but finding good
sunblock is a little harder to find. Luckily I know just the place where you
can get some!!
The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock is the best
sunblock I have found thus far! Unlike other sunblocks, it comes on like
sunscreen (so without the really thick white film) yet still has the protection
of a sunblock. You can find this lovely product at Target for around $10 and a
little goes a long way!
