Oiled skin look?

Any idea on how to do this? I'm doing a beach scene and I'd like to have the figures look oiled, as if they had put on a lot of sunscreen. I've found wet shaders and such, but nothing shader-wise that specifically looks oiled. I don't want the figures to look dripping wet, just with that even oily sheen look.
Many thanks,
Robert

Maybe a better question: will this also work for G3 figures?

It says its for Genesis and G2, but if can be mae to work with G3 figures then it might be what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
You might experiment with Thin Coat, it might create that oily rainbow effect.
Otherwise, I'd use top coat fresnel with IOR 1.45. What I often like to do is to set base values for dry/normal skin and then add wetness, sweat, or whatever as a top coat. (You don't HAVE to do this, but it makes it a little easier to dial in different effects with a standard base skin, I think)
