Question

I'm Cornwall this weekend to watch the Boardmasters surfing competition and to do some surfing myself. Im pretty fair skinned and want to make sure that I dont get burnt from the sun along with the reflection from the water.Where can I buy the zinc that crickers and surfers use?

Answer 1

I am like you....I live in a very sunny environment and love the beach yet am very fair. I am in Australia, I don't know where you are but check this site out....

...if you are not from Australia then look up a cancer council on the web in your local area. Good luck.

Hi,

You can buy sunscreen, sunblock and a variety of different coloured zinc at http://www.blockshop.co.uk if you're based in Europe.

It's a good idea to apply any sun protection at least half an hour before you're going in the sun. Always reapply as well- especially if you're heading in the water.
