I'm actually so shocked you don't wear sunscreen! I'm not albino, but I'm very, very fair skinned and blonde. I live further from the equator (around 38 deg north), but in college I could and would get sunburned just walking to class. I wear sunscreen every day I leave the house, full stop.
A lot of American sunscreens are uncomfortable as you describe, but Asian countries have it figured out. Head over to /r/skincareaddiction or /r/asianbeauty and do some reading. Biore watery gel/essence is a popular one, it feels like nothing on your skin. Your skin has almost no natural protection like most people, you are damaging it much more than you realize.
