Try any of the Bee-Luscious cosmetic line products I use them all and just love them, all the creams just absorb so nicely and makes your skin velvety soft. Its on beeroyalproducts.com the bronzing powders are also very amazing

You have a couple good choices.
If money is no object, the best is Darphin's "Vital Protection Fluide De Jour Day Fluid". It has spf 15. Besides online, the only place I know to buy Darphin is at Neiman Marcus.
Your second, much cheaper option, is to get Dermacol's Active Q10 cream. They have a huge line of products.
Now, here's some advice I guarantee you won't get elsewhere: go to the men's skincare section of your local supermarket and pick up Gillette's Complete Skincare Facial Moisturizer for men. Also spf15. It gives you zero oily shine.
(Don't confuse this one and the one that shows the word "Protection" on it... you want the Facial SPF 15 Moisturizer).
By the way, if you get an oily look, just wait a few minutes after applying the cream and then take a cold washcloth and just press it against your face. Pat your face dry with a dry towel, and no more oily shine.

Check your products. If they contain mineral oil, there's your answer. The molecular structure of mineral oil is too large to penetrate the pores of your skin and sit on the top layer like saran wrap. They give a temporary feeling of protection, but only because they are heavily sitting on the top layer. You need a pure water based product that will penetrate the dermis and give you maximum benefit. Arbonne has a great Before Sun line. Their damage control SPF 30 sunscreen is a water resistant formula that includes a sunscreen and helps prevent sunburn, even after 40 minutes of water activity. It's main ingredients are avobenzone, arnica, chamomile, rosemary extracts. Arbonne also has a great anti-aging day crème (SPF 8) and an intelligence moisturizer. Both are pure, safe, and beneficial.
Their cosmetics are also botanically based with natural ingredients proven to last long with great benefits to your skin. Their mineral powder contains an SPF. I use it over my foundation for a nice flawless look. If you're interested in trying a free sample of the day creme (SPF 8, light weight and great for under makeup) or moisturizer, I'll be happy to send you one. If you would like more information on the cosmetics, I'll be happy to send you more information.

That's the trouble with sunscreens, they all look so shiny. The best one I've found is Olay Complete for sensitive skin. It's still a tad shiny, but not as bad as some others. I also use Bare Escentuals foundation, which has natural sunscreen.
