Let's break down the words now:

Sun: the heat or light radiated from the luminous celestial body around which the earth and other planets revolve, from which they receive heat and light, and which has a mean distance from earth of 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 kilometers), a linear diameter of 864,000 miles (1,390,000 kilometers), a mass 332,000 times greater than earth, and a mean density about one fourth that of earth.

Block: to make unsuitable for passage or progress by obstruction

So sunblock would make passage of the heat or light radiated from the luminous celestial body around which the earth and other planets revolve, from which they receive heat and light, and which has a mean distance from earth of 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 kilometers), a linear diameter of 864,000 miles (1,390,000 kilometers), a mass 332,000 times greater than earth, and a mean density about one fourth that of earth unsuitable and obstructed.

Suntanning is accomplished by letting the heat or light radiated from the luminous celestial body around which the earth and other planets revolve, from which they receive heat and light, and which has a mean distance from earth of 93,000,000 miles (150,000,000 kilometers), a linear diameter of 864,000 miles (1,390,000 kilometers), a mass 332,000 times greater than earth, and a mean density about one fourth that of earth pass to the skin and the body.

Would sunblock help? You tell me.

(This was presuming you meant SPF25 or 30 sunblock... Use suntan lotion with SPF 4 or 6 rating)

You could also use a suntan lotion which normally contain a small amount of uv protection which is better than not using anything at all. BananaBoat I think have a SPF of 4 or 8

 

[Konigin]

Yeah, use a 6 SPF or an 8, it will help keep the skin moist, you'll get a more even tan. You also won't look so dried out when you do have a tan.

Try oils if you don't like lotions.

 

[z0mb13]

hmm kay
I will get spf 8 then

 

[HappyPuppy]

No, you will tan more quickly and evenly without any sort of tanning block or lotion. Just don't exceed 4 hours per session in the sun twice daily and you will be fine.

what you really want is skin cancer

it depends on very person. i just got back from hawaii and i used spf 45 a lot. i didnt tan, then i stopped using it and went out for like 15 mins of intentional sun, plus whatever exposure i got walking around. i didnt get burned but got a decent tan. i could have gone the whole time not using block. but then my fiancee used sunblock and still got burned. of course i used to live in georgia so i might be used to it, and race plays a big part in it

EDIT: just dont use that tanning spray crap that will give you cancer

 

[bootymac]

I agree with AEB. When I don't use sunblock, I get a nice tan.

Actually, I never use sunblock and I never get sun burn, but I still get a nice tan

Cover yourself with corn oil instead.
