FWIW, here are the top two rated sunscreens reviewed by category:

Lotions:
Coppertone Water Babies SPF 50, Price $11.00, Cost per oz. $1.38, Overall Score: 81

Here's one extreme option: a type of face mask that was used on K2 in 1979. Not sure if was ever commercially produced, but you might construct something of your own or modify some type of existing mask of some sort. Just some thoughts for battling The Lord of Light.

You beat me to it. I did a research project in junior high on expeditions to K2. I recall the mask is a foam backed with reflective aluminum skin.
