Picking Sunscreen for Travel

I'm picky about my sunscreen: I don't like putting glop on my face. I am told I need sunscreen and at my age (hovering close to 40) it's a damn good idea to take sun protection seriously.

I am trying different suncreens. They need to:

* have UVB (burning rays) and UBA (cancer rays) protection.

* be at least 15 SPF.

* be water resistant so they don't run into my eyes from my forehead when I am active.

* be nice feeling. not greasy, oil, waxy, gooey. I want it to soak in pretty quick. I don't have the patience to mess with my face with products. I also don't want to SEE it. I don't need a makeup look.

* have an easy dispensing, non-leaking container for travel.

* and, with some luck it will also be moisturizing and have

antioxidants in it but I won't hold my breath.

I have a few sample sizes I have been test driving. Remember you can't put lotion or gel sunscreen in your carry on bags for flights anymore. Check in only.
