Many people use the terms “sunblock” and “sunscreen” interchangeably, but there is actually a difference in how the two formulas protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Sunscreens are formulated with chemical compounds that when applied, absorb UV light before your skin can. On the other hand, sunblocks, like our tinted moisturizer with SPF 30, are formulated with mineral ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to create a shield on your skin and actually block the UV rays.
Don’t forget: It’s important to wear SPF every day (even when it’s cloudy) to protect your skin from sun damage.
