I kill 2 birds with one stone and use the Bullfrog Mosquito Coast.
Works great even with no-see-ums.

the coppertone spray on aerosol is awesome. spf 30. keep it out of your eyes. you can get complete coverage in like 3 seconds. like spray painting. works upside down for your back too.

I usr the Coppertone spray on as well. I really hate the mess with the bottles. The spray on is easy to use and not as messy so I tend to use it more consistantly, and its water resistant. Always wear a big hat too.

Coppertone SPF50. As bottled sunscreens go, it's about the least greasy type I've used. I haven't had a sunburn in years.

I use the No-Ad SPF 60, it is pretty cheap. lasts all day and keeps my pasty faced ass, whiter than white.

If I can find it, Lil Gator 40. This comes from my surfing days. It doesn't wash or rub off in water (doesn't rub off on a surfboard). It's also the best sun block I've found and it's good for sensitive skin (Scotch Irish heritage). The only place (on this coast), I know of that carries it is Suncoast Surf Shop on T.I. If I can't find Lil Gator then it's Bull Frog Surfer formula. Works well, It's not as complete of a sun block though. Still if you're going to get wet, it's better than most anything else I've tried.

I have never used sunblock in my entire life. Never had a sunburn in my entire life either.....Possibly the Native American in me, dont know for sure, but I have baked in the sun hours upon hours on the water and never once got burned.

I use the Coppertone Sport SPF50. It works really well and isn't as greasy as some others I have tried. Also wear a wide brimmed hat and use Hawaiin Tropic SPF45 lip balm.
