Sunscreen Vs. Sunblock

Hanzky in Face Escentials — June 13th, 2008

Many people think that sunscreen is just a different name for sunblock. There is actually a difference between these two products. Sunscreen, just like what the name suggests, screen(filter) the ultraviolet rays, meaning it absorbs some and leave the really bad things out, they call it a chemical block, and with sunscreen, you can still have tan and sunburn. Sunblock blocks the ultraviolet rays completely, it won’t let anything gets through your skin since it sits at the surface of your skin and it will reflects the sunlight back into the atmosphere. They call it a physical block.

    Sebenarnya FDA melarang penggunaan nama SUNBLOCK karena sun tidak bisa di-block. Tetap ada yg menembus ke kulit. Tapi tetep aja tuh banyak yg pake kata2 Sunblock, termasuk Neutrogena Color Boosting Sunblock yg baru keluar summer ini.
