Default Sunblock

I am a big believer in sunblock (not sunscreen). The brand I currently use leaves my face and skin very shiny and the shine does not fade into my skin for hours. Sometimes, I forget about that, leave the house and wonder why people are staring at me. I try to remember to put some baby powder over the sunblock to tone down the shine. I do not like doing that because I have already clogged my pores with the sunblock...any suggestions?

A dermatologist recently told me that the only effective sunblock has zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. I use a brand called "Face" by Ocean Potion on my face (zinc oxide) and "No Ad" sunblock on rest of exposed areas.
