Wearing sun protection all year?
Im thinking of wearing a spf 40 sun cream everday all year to prevent pre mature ageing and spots from appearing in later life. Do you think it will stop things like vitamin D from the sun though? Or does it only block UVA/UVB rays? Also what do you think of the idea lol, they say you should wear sunscreen even in winter.

It is reccommended by the *sun people* that you use some sort of sunscreen all year round, although I wouldn't think you'd need something as high as 40 in the winter, but it's not going to do any harm is it! I'd find one that's not too greasy though, as your skin won't thank you for the excess grease in the long run, sprays are often good for that though.

if you're female a lot of make up has UV protection so it may be easier to settle for that? especially cos you wont be wearing tshirts etc in winter. though i can't see it doing any harm so if it makes you feel happier, as said above, wear a non greasy factor 15ish spray perhaps
alot of foundation now has an spf. my clinique has one of 15. i know its not the same as suncream n probably won't be as affective, but its nice to know! also you can buy tinted moisturisers now which have spf in, if you dont wear foundation!

Well, it's you skin itself which produces the vitamin D when the UVB rays hit it. Blocking the UVB from hitting the skin will mean you produce less vitamin D.

Maybe you could get a moisturisor which has sun protection? It woudl mean not applying twice.
I guess it depends whereabouts you live, some parts of the UK don't get enough sun to warrant wearing sun cream 365 days a year!

Why did I get neg rep for this? 
It's usually best not to ask.
I wouldn't think SPF 40 is necessary all year, or even that good for you. Your skin does need some UV exposure, and suncreams do contain some fairly nasty chemicals at the higher SPFs. A light one on your face can be a good idea, but that's pretty much all of your body that'll be on display in winter, so I wouldn't waste time or money on protecting the rest of your skin.
OMFGFGGG!!! u are all paranoid!! maybe its just tha fact im spanish and i NEVER wear sun protection.. but who could possibly wear it in WINTER!!!!???? its mental! stupid and useless!! it is well known we get lots of vitamins through the skin, so why just stop getting them!!=¿?¿ aragGEWG!!!
Just because you don't burn because you have mediterranean skin doesn't mean that the sun isn't causing heeeuge ammoutns of damage to your skin.
