Default Sunblock/Sunscreen

So the weather finally cleared up in my area and I took the S for a nice long drive yesterday, top down. I came home with the worst shirt tan ever. What kind of sunblock/sunscreen do you guys use? Any recommendations? SPF? I'd prefer stuff that doesn't feel heavy and leave your skin greasy.

I've noticed that most waterproof sunscreens are oily, so you'd probably want to avoid those. I use Coppertone oil-free sunscreen.. SPF 15. You can find it at any store. It's not greasy or oily at all and works great.

Good stuff. I might rock an SPF 30 at least though if you are fair-skinned.

Does this stuff come in a container small enough to fit in the glove box and/or secret compartment? Also, how's the scent?

Scent-free. And the container is small enough to fit in the glovebox, or under the seat (it's a 10-inch long or so thin tube).

A dermatologist recommended to me Bull Frog Gel SPF 45. No grease, but stings a little going on (alcohol based gel). O/wise works great and comes in a compact squeze bottle with a positive closure.

I hate the creams. I like stuff that sprays so I don't have to get that stuff on my palms.

The absolute best I've used: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch spf 55 (oil free and noncomedogenic) for face, and Neutrogena Cooling Mist spf 45 aerosol for my arms and back of my neck, etc. The face one doesn't feel at all greasy or oily. And it has a very subtle scent. I highly recommend.
