I'm still trying to find a sunscreen that doesn't promote me turning into a horrible sweaty mess. Let me know if you find one 
By 10:30AM at the Oak Bay classic car show I was already towling myself off as I walked back to the car to go home and shower. :/
Personally I stay well away from the creams for that reason; one product that works great for me is Coppertone Sport #35, a mist/spray which I then work into my face/neck. It does not run when you perspire and never bothers my eyes. I wear contacts so if it were to run into them my eyes would burn from the chemical in the spray combined with sweat. I've never had a problem either yesterday or in Mexico or the DR etc. Works great.
Like most boomers I got way too much sun as a kid when the only thing your mom gave you was Coppertone # 2 'tanning' lotion (weren't no such thing as a broadly available sun 'screen' in 1968 at least that our parents knew about - I never heard the term until the 1980's). For all the good that Coppertone 2 did you might as well have used a pound of butter....
Consequently over time I had visible sun damage around my temples, forehead and especially the hairline. Many of the growths evolved into a skin cancer called keratosis, which is very common and also very treatable as long as you don't ignore it.
My GP periodically froze the growths with liquid nitrogen which inevitably would return in 98% of the cases. Last fall a dermatologist finally proscribed a very powerful topical fluorouracil product called Efudex which I used over a two month period in December-January. Wow. The stuff is amazing. Fluorouracil is a family of chemotherapy drugs that disrupt skin cancer cells and prevent them from reproducing so eventually they simply die. After eight weeks all the old sun damage was completely mitigated and disappeared entirely.
The only caveat is that the skin that emerges as a result of the regimen is like newborn baby skin, literally like you just emerged from the womb again with butter soft and unblemished skin. Consequently it cannot tolerate even a small exposure to sun until many many months later. You will literally burn in ten minutes or less initially which is why they recommend you undergo the procedure in fall or winter when the sun is weakest. The Coppertone Sport mist is a great product, this being the first summer with my rejuvenated skin I have a good bronze glow but using the product blocks the most harmful burning sun rays.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
. When I lived in Vancouver I worked out at a local Fitness World which like all gyms then featured tanning booths - you had to book at least 1-2 weeks in advance in order to get a tanning time slot, the units were that popular and busy. For some folks, even some I knew back in the day, the pursuit of an 'all over' tan was like searching for the Holy freaking Grail.
