most definiately. that is one of the most important parts to protect, well if you don't want to age too fast. They have facial sunblock at cosmetic counters if you want something specifically for your face. Also, check your makeup if you wear any, some already have SPF in them. Don't count on that to protect you all day, you will still need to carry sunblock with you, this is coming from a very fair skinned girl, raised in sunny Florida. I spent many a night wishing i had put on more SPF, after being sunburned. Not only is it painful at first, but will itch and peal eventually. I have been burned so bad that my legs and feet swelled, I could barely walk, and had to put ice packs on them, eventually having to coat my legs and feet in Neosporin to help keep from scarring. Don't be stupid. Wear SPF if you are going to be outside more than 30 minutes, unless it is the peak of the day, then you should wear it all the time. good luck.

Yes, you can. But it is better to get a facial sunscreen (they are there for a reason!) and use that instead as it is more gentle. Sunscreens "protect your skin by absorbing and/or reflecting UVA and UVB rays", whereas, sunblock "actually block, reflect and scatter the sun's rays." So be sure to know the difference between the two and what product you want. Hope that helps :)

Yes they make special sunblock for the face buts its just a higher spf since your face is one of the most important places to protect. Any spf is fine and reccommended just keep away from the eyes and if its for little ones be sure to get childrens spf.

Yes it is the most important thing you can do to stop wrinkles from showing up as you age. I find it a bit too greasy so I always get the one made specifically for faces.

Yes but you'll need to get one specifically for the face, also they is often make-up and chapstick with at least SPF of 15 in it, it says so on the bottle.
