In the winter months I wear SPF on my face every day, but not on my body since I’m always wearing at least one long-sleeved shirt, and probably also a sweater and a jacket, scarf etc. if I’m outdoors. I am currently testing some Korean sunscreens recommended by Lab Muffin Beauty Science on YouTube. For basic skincare I use a mix of products from The Ordinary (cleanser, AHA, and moisturizer) and Paula’s Choice (retinol). I use both a plain moisturizer and a separate SPF product because many of them sting my eyes or are too sticky/occlusive. I also need them to be fragrance-free, which is an extra challenge. I’ve been using Korean face SPF because the formulations are so lovely to wear. As someone else said upthread, I wear SPF every day because I use retinol. For my body, I’ve been using CereMedX lotion and cream, which I get from Amazon. It works better for me than CeraVe.

I use this daily face moisturizer and it contains SPF 15. It's part of my daily routine and I use it partly because it has a low SPF sunscreen quality to it (the product also works well for my skin). In the summer if I'm doing outdoor activities I also apply more powerful dedicated sunscreen to my face and reapply as needed depending on how long I'm outside. This is mostly on weekends and not during the workweek.

Didn't use it much at all, maybe in the summer if we were outside a lot or went to the beach for vacation, until I got a carcinoma on my face when I was in my early 50's. Now I wear a moisturizer with sunscreen every day, and layer a makeup with sunscreen over it. If I'll be outside much, I add sunscreen to the mix. Going to try the Trader Joe's brand, have read some good things about it.

A single counter example-- Kat Von D. She's a famous tattoo artist with a cluster of small stars tattooed on her face.

Another counter example-- I knew a guy who got teardrop tattoos on his face and he's just a dude who likes shitty tattoos. He's an artist and ne'er-do-well but really doesn't have any designs on being a gangster.

You know, you're able to make inferences based on bias too. How do you know that this isn't one of them?
