One step outside the house, the sun welcomes you,right? And what you do is shield yourself before going outdoors, sun protection. In my age, your age, at any age, sun-protection is very important to prevent damaging effects of sunlight. Sun protection is a must for every one for sun-safety lifestyle.

But this doesn’t mean that we should put and apply any thing on our skin. Be wise, be careful in buying, in applying, in everything because it can harm you physically, mentally and financially. Here is one thing you should know before anything else.

There is always a misconception between sunblocks and sunscreens. Many believes that best sunblock is the same as sunscreen. The goal, to protect the skin  from any harm and sun damages. But it is a big no! They differ on how they work on the skin.

First what is best sunscreen? Sunscreen generally chemicals that shields the skin by absorbing and reflecting the UV rays(long and short wave rays from the sun), the UVA and UVB rays.

While sunblocks are made of inorganic ingredients and formulas,they are physically made. They were commonly made of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and it deflects harmful UV rays. The sunblock that we often trust to protect our skins from sun damages are the cause of appearing of wrinkles,premature aging and worst is a step to skin cancer.
