Are you one of the lucky ones who will soon be going on a wonderful skiing holiday? Snow, sun and frost are classic elements of a skiing holiday, but your skin may need a little extra care to prepare itself for the new temperatures and the bright sun.
Your face is also on skis
Now you have to be outside all day in frost and hopefully sunshine. It can be a bit of an upheaval for the skin. Although the body is covered in ski clothing, the face is exposed to the cold. And especially if you are on the slopes for a long time. And when you come in for après-ski, it's suddenly warm and nice, and your skin has to get used to going from freezing to warm.
Prepare yourself before you leave
Just as you have, hopefully, prepared yourself physically to go on a skiing holiday, it is also a really good idea to prepare your skin. Already a few weeks before departure, start cleaning and moisturizing your skin. With an enzyme peeling small channels are made down to the subcutaneous tissue so that you can really moisten it.
Feel free to use a daily moisture serum that really boosts and moisturizes, so that the skin is well hydrated before you leave. Feel free to also use a face oil after your serum. If you think oil is greasy on the face, you can advantageously mix a drop of oil into your serum or day cream.
If you are into beauty tools, give it gas. Whether you use a facial roller or a gua sha stone , have a product underneath. Preferably an oil or a balm, as they work well with beauty tools, so you don't stretch the skin. With beauty tools, you work the products into the skin and release the skin's natural hyaluron, which moisturizes from within.
When you're on the slopes
Start by cleansing your skin and then give it all it can get from products that moisturize. Serum, oil, day cream (or day cream mixed with oil) eye cream, lip balm and finally sunscreen unless you use a day cream with SPF .
We always recommend an organic sunscreen with a physical sun filter of spf 15 or spf 30, as it is the best for you and the environment. You must also choose products that do not contain water or at least very little water.
Both ours COOLING LIP BALM , FACE RICH and OIL no water is added in. In our SERUM there is only very little water in it.
FACE RICH is a very rich face cream based on oils and natural SPF15. Ideal for a skiing holiday.
Cleanse the skin and give it plenty of moisture and nourishment for the night (serum and oil). If you have a moisturizing mask, feel free to use it during the week. In this way, you prepare the skin for the next day of skiing.
Drink plenty throughout the day
Even though it is cold, our skin dehydrates quickly in the cold. We forget to drink water when it's cold. At the same time, we are active all day on the slopes, so drink plenty of water and you will help your skin stay hydrated.
