Different types of Sunblocks

We all have seen so many commercials and advertisements about different types of sunscreens in our televisions competing each other by showing the best advantages of their individual brands. Since, we all love to roam outside when our skin is exposed to sun either while swimming, shopping or hanging out, we need to choose one of the best suited sunblock for us so that our skin can be protected from the harmful UV rays of the sun that ultimately destroys our skin or even tan it. Also, some people use scrub to put a liquid on their face that is applied for about 10-15 minutes that releases all the dirt and dead cells from the skin. But, that would be a longer process if we are in a hurry and we need to just put a sunscreen. So, before choosing one we need to know the types of sunscreens that we have in front of us to choose from.

1.    Chemical sunscreens: Basically these are the products that are manufactured by suing some of the chemicals that absorbs the harmful rays of the sun but don't let them reach to your skin and ultimately protects it.

2.    Physical Sunscreens: These are the sunscreens that are particularly made by zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The basic difference between this one and the chemical ones is that the chemical sunscreens absorbs the rays but these sunscreens reflect back the rays and other radiations and don't let them reach your skin.

Water resistant: We might not know that UV rays can even pass through water and these is one of the sunblock that is made specially for the people who are more into swimming or water sports so these are water resistant and protect you from the harmful UV rays even when you are in water.
