Oh heck yeah. I'm paranoid about sun and wind-burn on my face (I don't need to age ten years this summer, thanks), and I'm in a higher altitude, drier, and sunnier climate than I grew up with. So I've always got a layer of SPF 15 at the very least, and when I'm heading home I add a layer of 30 (UV index is higher).

I use a moisturising lotion on my face and neck that has SPF added in - I know there are unisex or men's formulas out there too.
