When it comes to going outside and staying longer in the sun, good sunscreen is a necessity, especially in Bangladesh, where the weather is usually over 30 degrees or more. Last year, it was nearly 40 degrees in Dhaka. So, there’s always a need for sunscreen. However, many people buy it without knowing how to use it or understanding its benefits. Many people also don’t know that there is another option besides sunscreen, which is sunblock cream.
According to Health.com, sunscreen and sunblock don’t work the same way, but they both protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Sunblock blocks UV rays by forming a physical shield. Sunscreen, on the other hand, absorbs UV rays before they reach your skin.
There are other differences as well. Sunscreen often dissolves into the skin, making it invisible after application. Sunblock, however, often leaves a white mask on the skin. Sunblock contains an ingredient called zinc oxide, which blocks UV rays. You will often see cricket players on the field with something white on their faces—that is sunblock cream.
Also, choose one that suits your skin type. Everyone’s skin is different and can react differently to these products. Both sunblock and sunscreen come in various forms such as creams, ointments, lotions, gels, and sprays. Creams are better for dry skin, while gels are ideal for hairy areas.
