Poll question: Are you using protection this time of year?
By protection, I mean sunscreen. I don't use sunscreen in the winter. I live in Wisconsin and figure that I need to get all the sun exposure I can get then. I haven't spent a lot of time outside yet. If I was going to spend all day outside, I'd probably put some on, but for the 15 minute walks with the dog, I think that I'll wait another month.
How about you? Does your location affect that decision?
If I lived in the South, I might wear sunscreeen all year.

1. I'll start when the sun comes out- I'm very protective of my pallor
but there's little point in wearing sunscreen in the rain.

2. I have to admit
I thought you meant something else, but no, I'm almost albino and the weather's weird where I am.

3. My skin burns in the winter too
I have to use a high SPF all year.

4. Please wear the sunscreen people
Waiting for biopsy results isn't fun.

PSA over, back to your regularly scheduled whatever everyone does on Saturday. :hi:

5. Who never wears sunscreen?
For those of you who voted never, do you never go outside?

8. My daily facial moisturizer has sunscreen in it.
Don't bother with the rest of me much unless I know I'm going to be out for a good while.

9. Yes. I use it year round.
I work outside so it is absolutely required.
