On occasion, though not as often as I should. I've been told that you should wear sunscreen even when it's cloudy (because clouds don't prevent the sun's rays from fully reaching the Earth's surface, hence the daylight), but I've never actually put any on during a cloudy day. I also spend most of my time indoors avoiding the sun. I have light brown skin, and when I get darker in the sun it honestly looks like I covered my face and arms in soot rather than getting a nice, even cook. So I prefer to stay shaded as much as possible.
I used to wear sunscreen a lot when I lived in the Rocky Mountains, though. Even in the winter.
Very rarely. I use nature's sunscreen, it's called a tan. If I'm going to be out in the sun all day, without having been in the sun enough to get a good tan, then I will use sunscreen. Otherwise, I don't see the point. A tan works just as well, and it isn't oily, it doesn't cost money, and it doesn't leach any chemicals into my bloodstream either.
I don't use it if I'm just walking out to buy bread or something, but if I'm going to be in the sun I use the maximum protection. I have super white skin and don't tan, but I get sunburnt easily, and it stays burnt like a month then my skin falls off. It sucks.
Also, I've had a sunburn on my eyes before. I thought maybe it was pinkeye or something and the doctor was like, nope, it's a sunburn. It hurts like hell and you can't put all the creams you can on your skin, so wear sunglasses and stay away from places where the sunlight reflects a lot.
