Can anyone help me find a suntan lotion that doesn't sting eyes?
I suffer every year, as I sweat in the heat, and the lotion on my face runs into my eyes and I am rendered blind. :cry

I bought some kids lotion called Banana boat, which is meant to be a tear free formula, but when I tried it recently, during our British heat :wave: it didn't work, and actually stung my eyes more than other brands. (flippin' expensive too)!!
I don't want to walk around like a relic of the 1980's, with a sweat band around my bonce, but I can't see any alternative, as I've tried most of the 'sensitive' suncreams on the market, to no avail.

Boots have just started doing one specifically for the face. I haven't tried it but intend to buy some. This may be better for your eyes. You could ask the pharmacist about it

I always get a Boot No7 one that is specially for your face, it goes in really well and is non-greasy so it shouldn't slide off whe you get too hot. They do it in factor 25 and 15 I think.

I like the Boots Vitamin E lotion with SPF 15. Ok not a high factor, but I keep applying it....and its the only one that doesn't aggravate my skin condition. Even without reapplying, I can sit out in the (UK) sun and not burn. Its around 2.99 I think.

Have just come back from Turkey .... very hot during the first week (40+) but the sun lotion I used stayed put and didn't drip into the eyeballs. I used Almay facial sunscreen (factor 30), bought it in the pound shop ..... absolute bargain & have just been back for more supplies.

I buy 'dry oil' lotion, which does what is says on the tin.
spray on and leaves no grease/oliy feel after a few seconds.
tends to be usually in low factors though.

I stayed at Nergas beach, just out the back of hotel and you are on the beach! You can also use Nergas select which is just along the main road towards Icmeler. I found the Nergas beach was very good. I hope you enjoy your stay!
