Can Sunblocks Keep Your Skin Color the Same?

I try to stay out of the skin as much as possible but can sunblocks help keep my skin color even or have they been know to make you darker?Can Sunblocks Keep Your Skin Color the Same?
Well, they reduce the amount of UV Rays that cause your skin to change color, but they don't eliminate them.





How do you get out of your skin BTW?Can Sunblocks Keep Your Skin Color the Same?
no.. they just block the harmful rays.. you can still tan with sunscreen on
No.





If you wear SPF 30 on all exposed areas of the skin (and all clothing items do have an SPF rating, just good luck finding them...), but you have a farmer's tan, you are still going to have a farmer's tan after a day at the beach...just darker. While the difference in skin tones won't be as pronounced, it will still be there!





The SPF (in lotions) is a rating of the effectiveness of a chemical compound that BLOCKS the effect of UV radiation on an object (in this case, your skin). An SPF of 30 indicates that approxiately 98% of all incoming UV radiation is blocked. Past a SPF of 30, the value for the money spent goes in the toilet. A $10 SPF 30 blocks about 1% less UV than an SPF of 40, which costs you $40 for the same sized 6oz squeeze tube. Outside of certain specific medical conditions, SPF 30 is all you'll ever need.


The fact that they BLOCK the UV is what prevents burns. They have no effect on the colour of your skin, that is the UV radiation. The only way they themselves can make you darker is if they stain the skin..





The only way to keep your skin colour ';the same'; is to wear a sunblock when exposed to the sun, and stay-out of it as much as possible, and this rarely works, as you almost never see anyone with the pale alabaster with faint blue lines of old poetry. :D
idk
I think it depends on what level SPF of sunblock you use. A lower level won't protect you as well from the sun. It also depends on whether you have light (fair) or dark skin. This website has lots of information on sunblock (it's the dept. of dermatology at the University of California, SF) http://www.dermatology.ucsf.edu/skincanc鈥?/a>





Hope it helps.
