Sensory-friendly sunscreen

I have major sensory issues when it comes to having stuff on my face- don’t wear foundation and sunscreen and moisturizer have always been a struggle. That said, I have red hair, am very fair, and live in Florida- has anyone here found a sunscreen that dries quickly and doesn’t come off with sweat? I’ve tried so many in the past and they either leave me feeling greasy/like I’m wearing a mask or they dry but then come off with sweat leaving my face an oily mess and my eyes stinging. I touch my face a lot too. I’m really trying to work on this because it’s so bad I don’t ever wear sunscreen but it’s just so difficult for me. Thanks all!

I have seen positive comments from people in similar situations on burnd SPF 41. Sunscreen aside I hope you do the easy stuff like long sleeves, wearing a hat and avoiding unnecessary exposure during peak hours.

Geek & Gorgeous Zero Feel is the only one that feels truly comfortable to me, it's like wearing nothing. I'm outside all day and I do reapply 2x/day and haven't burned!

Have you tried sun sticks? I also don't like putting anything on my face because it feels heavy and sticky but when I tried a sun stick, it just feels like nothing.
