Protect your skin during winter sports with these eight products
When packing for a winter sports holiday you might not immediately think of skincare, but especially in the mountains your skin deserves extra attention. The fresh mountain air, cold temperatures and bright sun make for unique challenges, but with the right care, your skin can stay protected and hydrated.
At high altitude, the sun is brighter due to the thin atmosphere and snow reflects UV rays, making your skin extra vulnerable. At the same time, the icy winds can dry out your skin and make it more sensitive. Fortunately, with proper preparation, you can keep your skin comfortable and glowy so you can enjoy your holidays to the fullest.
With these eight carefully selected products, you'll be well prepared for the slopes. From a powerful SPF to intensely caring masks and a handy dry shampoo. These essentials will help you face the cold carefree.
