Does sun block or sun screen prevent tanning? And is there any thing other than clothing that can do this?

Answer 1

It prevents burns. You can still tan with sun screen. There are plenty of different kinds in supermarkets.

Answer 2

NO! Sun block prevents burning. You will actually tan more evenly with at least spf 15 on. If you need to block the sun totally, you need a large number on the spf (my daughter found 75) and where light colored clothing. The sun Can burn through white shirts. (My daughter has a skin graft from a burn on her ankle. she has to wear sunblock to prevent further damage to the area for the rest of her life.)

Answer 3

sunblock doesn't prevent tanning. as far as i know the higher SPF the less of a chance you have of getting burnt... but it doesn't totally block the suns rays from tanning your skin. if you don't want any color i would probably stick with the clothing, maybe an umbrealla sitting outside or at the beach, or just staying in if you have a choice.

Answer 4

I wear SPF 30 when I go to the pool. I still get tan, it just takes a long time. I also wear a big hat & sunglasses to keep my face protected. If you don't want to get tan at all I recommend at least SPF 50. Maybe sit in a shaded area with a large umbrella, sunglasses, & an oversized hat! Good Luck!

Answer 5

sun block does not prevent tanning.

staying in the house will do this

Answer 6

yes they do, a sunblock SPF 50 and higher work better... not all clothes cover you from UV rays though, it has to be a very tight knit, very closed. Dermatologists say we should use sunscreens everyday, not only when we go to the beach or hiking or so.

Answer 7

hmm...not in any respect concept about it. i wager that's like tomato, tom-ah-toe, and tomater....I call it solar tan lotion. imagine about it Lo-shawn is extra relaxing t say than block...and exhibit screen feels like im in a closed in porch...or i left my the front door open and the exhibit screen close....to each and every their own ;P
