 Poster: A snowHead
|
I use one of these for sunscreen and lip balm , I like its all-in-one plus it comes with the neck cord so i dont lose it or drop it whilst on the lift etc
https://www.snowtraxstore.co.uk/suncream/5797-manbi-spf30-combi-suncream-2020.html
Ive used it the past 2-3 ski trips , but still the sun cream don't stop coming out as soon as you unscrew the lid. You only need a bit but it goes every where , i guess due to the altitude
Any tips , as i really like the product

Ski at low altitude resorts or only use suncream filled at air pressure similar to where you are going. Physics innit?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Could be worse - go somewhere like Colorado and you can get bags of crisps that explode on you.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I don't get the problem  It looks to me as if you could expel all air from the container prior to taking it from a higher to a lower air pressure place.

Sounds good to me. It works with crisps too, but you need to eat them before they go soggy.

Use a lipstick style block, and keep that not fit for purpose pile of junk for the beach

- Gather a group of friends together.
- open a tube of sunscreen with the intention of getting a small blob for your nose
- share your new-found wealth of sunblock with all the above friends
- rescrew the lid.

@wasley, we have a different approach.
I have my trusty small tube of sunscreen with separate lip screen built into the lid. And I always apply it in the gondola….
Remove tube from little pocket on waistband of ortovox pack
Undo top of tube
Lean back to avoid spurt of sunscreen
Replace top of tube and replace tube in pocket.
Reach up and retrieve blob of sunscreen from inside gondola roof.
Apply liberally to nose and cheeks.
Done.
The Grom has a different approach. If he has not applied Piz Buin Glacier Cream in the chalet, he has a buff which comes over his nose and meets his goggles. Not a single square mm of skin showing anywhere….

Just like Colmans' fortune being founded on the mustard left on the side of the plate, high factor suncream manufacturers make all their profit from the bits spurted onto your pants/jacket/neighbours/gondola ceilings etc.

I use those when skiing and normally only have the pressure issue when opening the first time and never been THAT bad. Try holding it upright for a minute before opening, to give the air a chance to bubble up through the cream to the top, then open upright/wipe on back of cap hand/screw cap back on, then 'apply'.
Another trick is to open it in your accomodation bathroom, to let it "come up to mountain air pressure". Leave it upright in a glass or something overnight to get best chance of the air being at the top.
Also lots of sellers for those on eBay, potentially saving you £1.43/tube.
