How many people wear sunscreen on their face and body every day to school or uni or work?

and how many continue to do so in winter?

I do!

All year round - I'm a bit of a sunscreen nut. Just my arms, shoulders, chest, neck and face. I really don't want to get tanned.

I try to when I remember-my granny got skin cancer on her nose and had instilled a fear in me, lol

I like to look tan though in summer, so it sucks :(

I do in the summer especially because I have to walk a little way to uni and am always outside in my breaks. Plus cancer runs rampant in my family so not taking any chances :D

I wear sunscreen like crazy now. Got really sunburnt at the cricket, and ended up with a funny burn because of my sunglasses. So sunscreen ftw!

I wear tinted moisturiser with sunscreen in it on my face and chest most days. If it's really really hot I'll put 30+ sunscreen on all my exposed skin.

I have a bit of a phobia about skin cancer but at the same time I keep forgetting to wear sunscreen on a regular basis which is why I deliberately included it in my makeup routine with the moisturiser so I can't forget to at least shield my face.

My daily sunscreen has a 30+ moisturiser and it's not greasy at all.

I wear it every single day or I'll get freckles.

Lol, my Aunty got sunburn that welted after being on a boat... For 3 hours... Putting sunblock on every hour... With a hat... Standing/sitting in the shade.

She just has to look at the sun to get burned.

It's an Olay complete defence sunscreen, the one for sensitive skin is less oily than the normal one but they're both pretty good. It's one of the only moisturisers I've seen with a 30+ sunscreen.

but Olay sunscreens are chemical sunscreens - apparently they aggravate free radicals and cancer causing cells
