Sunblock lotion is another name for sunscreen. The products that absorb or reflect the suns UV radiation and protect the skin.The usage of sunscreens, which have been proven to be effective in alleviating symptoms, has grown due to the rising incidence of skin cancer and the photodamaging effects of UV radiation.
