How often do you put sunscreen on your face?

[IRememberXanadu]

I put factor 50 SPF on my face every day, irrespective of weather. I'm hoping it will make a difference to my skin when I'm older, as I'm very low maintenance and adding this additional step to my morning routine is a bother. But I persevere because it seems SPF is the single best thing you can do for your skin.

Anyone else? Or do most people only apply SPF to their face if they go out/on holiday?

Factor 50 to my forehead / face daily as I work outdoors

I think my foundation has factor 15 in it

i only put spf on if im going to be spending a lot of time outside in the sun

365 days a year, and I keep a spray in my bag to top up during the day of its particularly sunny out.

I use a tinted moisturiser that has SPF20 as a base but I would put actual suncream on if I was going to be out all day in the summer.

Factor 50 daily.

factor 50 every morning. Only if I’m leaving the house but have recently been told you need it even if you’re inside as UVB penetrates windows

Every morning.At least SPF30 ,SPF50 if it's particularly sunny .

I put factor 50 on daily as spend a lot of time outdoors. Unfortunately the minute I get warm it just seems to slide off. I haven't found anything that doesn't so probably getting hardly any protection

I put it on if I'm going outside whether it's sunny or not.

Errr .. never. I've been sitting in the sun most of the day today and haven't used any sunscreen.

Every day as part of my morning routine. Then every 3-4 hours of I’m outside or on holiday.

A dermatologist told me to apply factor 50 to any exposed skin every single day of the year, so I do. Well done for starting young

Factor 50, mornings.

However I'm not convinced the amount I apply is enough, but I don't seek the sun out- sunbathe or sit on beaches.

Every day of the year with a top up at lunch and the end of the work day. I was previously a sun worshipper so trying to claw back some of the damage I’ve already done.

I use spf50 every time I go out, not indoors. I don’t think I wore facial spf though, until I was fairly mature, I can’t remember when we first were told/ realised spf was a thing. It used to be just for beach holidays.. eeek!

Factor 50 on my face every day all year round.
Factor 50 on exposed tattooed skin during the summer months.

Factor 50 every morning all year round
and if im not wearing makeup I apply again after lunch during the summer

I put factor 30 on my face every day if going outdoors no matter the weather (though I probably forget more often than not during the winter as the sun isn’t on my mind).
I think covering any exposed skin in factor 50 as a pp said is going a bit overboard though? Surely you need a bit of vitamin d?

Every day I will be leaving the house. I don’t go out every day.

Every day. My foundation has factor 45 built in, the moisturiser I use beforehand is factor 15. I put factor 50 on other exposed bits in the summer.

Wish I had been more particular about sunscreen on the backs of my hands in the past, they're a lot more wrinkly than my face! Keep a little bottle in my bag and use like hand cream all year round now.

Almost never, since I heard that there is evidence connecting its use with alopecia.

I'm struggling to feel the need for factor 50 in the winter where I live when the weather is usually like this most of the time.

So I'm not unusual. Good - that means it's probably a good idea. I'll carry on then.

50 every day but also getting laser hair removal on my face but even before I would.
