As a full time home maker, part of my day routine is to go out and send my daughter to school everyday. As we all know, sun exposure can lead to a lot of skin problems in the long run. In my part, I never go out without wearing my sunblock. Let me share with you the importance of sunblock and how we can benefit from using it.
Did you know that Sunblock is different Sunscreen? Sunblock as the name implies, reflects ultraviolet (UV) rays and blocks them from penetrating your skin. Sunscreen on the other hand, prevents sunburn by absorbing the sun’s rays.. In my case I use Sunblock because I think It’s more effective. The main benefit of sunblock is preventing Ultraviolet Rays from penetrating the skin. This is important in preventing burns and blistering. It can help minimize the aging effects to the skin which includes wrinkles and lines. And sometimes it can also cause uneven skin tone especially in our forehead and on the arms. And the worst, it can cause dark spots on the face and skin cancer which I don’t want to have!
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Many sun protection products rave about their high SPFs of 50, 70 and 80. But is it really necessary to go that high? Of course any protection is better than no protection, but know the SPF facts before you decide.To prevent premature aging, skin cancer, or sun damaged skin (for example melasma or dark spots) even a sun block of SPF 5 is better than nothing, but dermatologists recommend a product with full-spectrum coverage with at least an SPF of 15.
The one I use everyday is Dermplus Moisturizing Sunblock. It has SPF 35, I apply just the right amount on my face, neck and all other exposed parts of my skin. And reapply especially when I spend long hours under the sun. Dermplus has wide variety of SPF for you to choose. They also have Sunblock for kids, scented and unscented variety. And the latest product that has SPF 80.
You can choose from different SPFs. Just be sure to reapply because no matter how high the SPF, sunblock and sunscreen usually last only for two hours. So sunblock your day, everyone! 🙂

Sunblock really helps in protecting your skin from harmful effect of sun exposure!
I always use sunblock each time I go out of the house. I am using one for years now and it has SPF 60. Don’t forget to put some over the neck too as this part we often neglect. It sags easily overtime but sunblock will somehow prevent it.
Sunblock is very important to us, in order to prevent from hurting our sensitive skin from the sun exposure, it is nice to know that we have so many ways to prevent of getting a serious skin cancer, as long as we have the right lotion to put on we are set
i am guilty of not re-applying, though i do not leave home without sunblock, but i always am lazy to re-apply when am outside, i probably should remind myself strictly.
I didn’t know na sunblock only lasts for 2 hours! Looks like I need to practice re-applying,
geez! I am lazy to re-apply sunblock. I need to bring my sunblock if it last 2 hours.
living here in the middle of a desert land surely requires sunblock on our skin. It get’s so hot here that i do get burns. I do need to get into a habit of putting on sunblock on my skin especially during summer. Thanks for this informative post.
I don’t usually use Sunblock every so often. I am contented with the moisturizer that I apply on my face. This post is helpful and I am somehow convinced to try using sunblock.
This is one product that my wife recommend that I use to protect my ‘balat sibuyas’ skin. LOL
Just heard about Dermplus. They seem like good products! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this Ate! ❤
I am so lazy, but I remember sunblock when I see these dark blemishes on my skin…I need to put some everytime I go out
Revisiting, Sunblock no doubt helps one from ultra-violet rays from direct exposure sa sunlight. The product seems a good one to try. Dermplus , familiar na ang name sa akin.
My favorite sunblock it the scented orange one with SPF35 and I use and apply it on my face and neck before putting on a face powder.
Could anyone tell me where i can get this in Hong Kong?
