I have an OCD-like tendency where I absolutely cannot stand being greasy. I’ve yet to find a sunscreen that I can handle being on, especially in my face.
As a wedding photographer that’s a bit of a problem - some days I’m out in the blazing sun for 12 hours. I take supplements that largely prevent sunburn, but I doubt they help with UV damage much. This article has made me feel better about that.

I'm one of those weird people who gets a rash when using sunscreen, and am also one of those folks who has dental fluorosis.
I simply stay out of the sun, wear long sleeves and a hat if I can't avoid it, and ... Well I have ugly teeth.
Not wearing sunscreen isn't a pass for exposure; there are still precautions that can be taken.
The the most commonly used sunscreen chemical have hormone like activity [1].
