I believe that any form of spray on sunscreen will work just fine. You can find a bunch of different types at http://www.become.com/shop?refdisa=ytf&q=spray-on+sunscreen&kd=101131030&tc=12&utm_campaign=become&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_term=spray-on+sunscreen&qet
Most the spray-on sunscreens are fast drying, and since its just a spray, it will be no heavier than having water misted into your hair. The stuff that jduvall suggested should work as well as any

I voted for this answer because I felt it was the best and did answer the question but might I suggest a hat for the best protection.

The only way not to get burned is to stay no longer than 15 to 20 minutes in the sun, or visit a tanning salon (read reviews etc).

Misconception of the SUNBLOCK

If you try to "bake" your body, age spots don't appear but your skin will start to peel and hurt. If you try sunning ANYTHING for too long, it will resemble a dry leather handbag. Just where are the age-spots?

Today's sunblocks work! If you have sun protective cream slathered on your whole body except for a turtle-shaped area on your tummy (or back for that matter) you will have a 'tanned turtle' on your belly. But it is a fraudalent product. Let me explain futher....

Have you ever noticed how very anaemic people (lacking vigor, vitality due to insufficient iron in body) never seem to get age spots no matter how much sun they get? Not suggesting that you should go off foods rich in iron just to achieve a spot-free and freckles-free complexion, but these anaemic people are one of the keys to how the body works in conjunction with what the media says is bad - Mother Nature's SUN!

Know this - the real problem is not the sun, but as with most health problems, there are dietary issues involved. Dr. Raymond Peat gave a formula for the cause of brown age-spots: (colour may vary!):

*Omega-6 oil (found mostly in unsaturated fat/cooking oil) + body's supply of iron (eg. from food that the body uses to manufacture its own iron) + Oxidisation

Like pimples/acne, age spots HAVE TO come from the inside out!

Conclusion: The sun is not the culprit for the age-spots people get. On the contrary, the sun helps the body produce Vitamin D!

However, if you feel you still need a sun block, choose one that is free from toxic! The EWP (Environmental Working Group) said that 3 out of 5 sunblocks contain hidden toxins that sip right into your body - this actually is one of the reasons why people who use sunblock get cancer.

Or else you can consider some safer alternatives for sunblocks here: http://bit.ly/gfC7V
