Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Ok, I'm dumb :-P If you apply sunblock, that blocks what? The UV and sun completely - like if I put on sunblock will I tan at all and it just blocks out the harmful rays, or no? Sorry for such a dumb question - I've been using Bain de Soleil tan in a can but its getting to the point that its faded and been put on and faded that i need a real tan right now to even everytyhihg out - thanks _____________________________________________ I can feel so unsexy, for someone so beautiful - so un_love_ed for someone so fine, I can feel so boring for someone so interesting, so ignorant for someone of sound mind ... all these little defenses, how they fail to comfort me - your hand pulling away and im devastated... ~alanis, so unsexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Another question i forgot to ask about sunblock Ok, I'm dumb :-P If you apply sunblock, that blocks what?

Sorry for such a dumb question - I've been using Bain de Soleil tan in a can but its getting to the point that its faded and been put on and faded that i need a real tan right now to even everytyhihg out - thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sunblock and sunscreen are often interchageable, although some people use sunblock for the " physical filters " like zinc oxide and sunscreen for " chemical filters " like avobenzone. The only true " block " is a thick layer of the zinc oxide pastes. All other sunblocks allow some uv light through. The exact nature and amount of the light that gets through depends on several things including what SPF it is, whether it's broad spectrum, how thick and even you apply it etc. HTH Barry Hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
