What’s the difference between Sunscreen and Sunblock?

The difference is in how they protect the skin against harmful UV rays. Sunblock is literally what it’s name says, it blocks UV rays by forming a physical shield, It sits on top of the skin and acts as a barrier. While a sunscreen absorbs them. Sunblock protects you from UVB rays, Sunscreen protects you from UVA rays, where the 'A' stands for aging.





WHEN IN MY ROUTINE SHOULD I APPLY SUNSCREEN?

Sunscreen should always be the last step in your morning routine. Short on time? Look for makeup with sunscreen benefits.


CAN SUNSCREEN GO BAD?

Yes, replace your sunscreen when you do spring cleaning. Like most products, it has an expiration date.
