 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Does anyone know of a decent barrier? type cream that prevents you getting a tramps face while skiing? My face took months to recover after my last trip & I'm not looking forward to looking like a vagrant til June this time!

I find that Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream is very useful, but lots of sun cream is my usual approach (I heart being ginger).

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

kojak, .... Might be best to get a good quality Sun Cream - factor 40 or 50, with a built in moisturiser, rather than trying to put two creams on in the morning ..... and lippy .....

kojak, Decent sun screen in the day, we use once a day stuff so you don't have to worry about reapplying, and lash on lots of good quality night cream before bed. Wake up with perfect skin to face the new day!

kojak, I think that Piz Buin do a Mountain Cream which has quite high factor spf and more moisturisery stuff in it.

I use a sunscreen with Aloe Vera that you can get from Snow and Rock. Still seem to get a cracking goggle tan every year.

kojak, As well as all the moisturiser & sun protection as advised above, remember to drink loads of water. You can get very dehydrated at altitude & that alone does terrible things to your skin - before you add sun/snow/wind/cold into the equation

Try a Helly Hansen lifa balaclava. Not a good look compared to exposed face and shades but it works.

You know it makes sense.

After your apres ski shower use REN's Omega 3 Overnight renewal serum followed by REN Frankincense Repair Cream (both available from SpaceNK). Even my "I'm not using any of that girly stuff" husband is a convert! It's brilliant.
The story goes that one chap actually had it Fed Exed over to Chamonix when he'd realised he'd left it at home!
