Why does it itch when you apply sunscreen?

Applying sunscreen is a must, isn't it? However, I always hesitate to use it because of the itching. It isn't the kind of itchiness where you want to scratch yourself like with atopic dermatitis, but rather an unpleasant, tingling, stinging sensation. So, I've tried buying products that claim to be milder, but it still feels unpleasant. The weather has been so intense lately that I have no choice but to apply sunscreen, but I don't really use it in other seasons. As a result, I'm worried that my skin is getting worse. I didn't really notice it when I was younger, but it seems to be getting more severe as I get older. Is it because my skin has become dry? Or am I choosing the wrong product? I'm curious why applying sunscreen makes my skin itch.
