How to prepare your skin for the ski and snowboard season: 10 winter products

Winter is a wonderful time, but not for our skin. In the cold, it experiences stress, loses moisture, becomes dry and upsets with various “irritations.” Cosmetologists advise switching to intensive moisturizing products so that by spring the skin does not become dull and flaky, and also do not forget about the basic stages of care.

What happens to our skin in winter?

While all other parts of the body are protected from wind and frost, the face remains vulnerable and takes all the blows of the weather. At low temperatures, the skin becomes dry and sensitive, and is also susceptible to wrinkles. Blood vessels narrow, which means the dermis does not receive enough nutrients carried by the bloodstream.

Changes need to be made in almost all stages of care. Cleansers should be softer and more gentle than usual so as not to further injure the skin. After cleansing, be sure to use a lotion or toner to help prevent dehydration. You will also have to add a thicker, thicker moisturizer to your makeup bag. This will nourish the skin and save it from dullness and dryness.

But the cold is not the only threat. In winter, as in summer, we are exposed to UV radiation. Since there are few sunny days in autumn and winter, a 15 SPF product is suitable. But if you plan to travel to a ski resort, then the degree of protection should be higher - at least 30, or even 50 SPF.

Speaking of skiing and snowboarding: it is not only fun and exciting, but also dangerous. And it’s not a matter of professionalism, but the effect of wind, snow and sun on the skin. We have compiled a selection of products that will help take care of your skin in winter.

                    

Cream

So, a cream for active winter recreation should be thick, greasy, but not too heavy. An excellent choice would be all-in-one products like

anti-aging gel with retinol HADAOMOI SUHADA RETINOL&VITAMIN ALL IN ONE GEL. The product contains two types of ceramides that help retain moisture. Also, active substances make the skin more resistant to adverse environmental factors. One of the main components of HADAOMOI SUHADA RETINOL&VITAMIN ALL IN ONE GEL is fermented collagen, the molecule of which is smaller than that of ordinary collagen, so it penetrates better into the dermis and gives it elasticity, nutrition and rejuvenation. Niacinamide and vitamin C will prevent the destruction of collagen under the influence of ultraviolet rays and reduce the risk of photoaging.

Vitamin C is generally indispensable in skin care, especially in winter. Instead of cream, you can take Alovivi VC-GEL facial gel on vacation - a multifunctional product that stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, fights pigment spots and reduces wrinkles.

All-in-one products have another significant advantage: they save space in your cosmetic bag. Moisturizing cream-gelNature Conc NARIS UP Medicated Moisture Gel performs the functions of lotion, serum, milk, cream and mask. This means that you don’t have to take your entire beauty supply on the road. The product contains placenta extract, which helps effectively fight pigmentation and inflammation. The effect is enhanced by hyaluronic acid and artichoke extract, which also functions as a powerful antioxidant.

Sunscreen

Both in winter and in summer, you can’t go without Sunscreen - ultraviolet rays never sleep, remember?

Sunscreen Kiss Me Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence with SPF50 + PA ++++ is suitable as an option for every day. Not only will it protect your skin from sun damage, but it will also help moisturize it. The composition includes 3 types of hyaluronic acid, saxifrage and aloe vera extracts and royal jelly.

If the skin has already been damaged by ultraviolet radiation (for example, pigment spots or freckles have appeared under sun exposure), then you will need a more powerful product. Whitening sunscreen Amenity Pure White UV Cut Cream SPF50+ PA++++ has a high sun protection filter and powerful whitening effect. The product is based on tranexamic acid, which makes the skin not just “clean”, but doll-porcelain. Sanskrin regulates the production of sebum and “inhibits” the growth of bacteria - it will be as comfortable as possible when wearing ski or snowboarding equipment.

Sometimes the skin doesn't need intensive moisturizing or whitening - it just needs a “barrier” to protect it from UV radiation. For such purposes, the weightless, but moisture and sweat resistant sunscreen MENTURM The Sun Tone Up UV Essence is suitable. The product reflects light and hides skin unevenness (you can easily do without makeup). And extracts of cucumber, chamomile and aloe vera will do everything to prevent redness and peeling from appearing on the face after active recreation.

Lip balm

In winter - and without balm? No, soft and smooth lips are more expensive. To protect against wind and cold, products with oils and plant extracts are suitable.

The DHC Medicated Lip Cream Sensitive healing balm will help restore sensitive lips - it contains delicate olive oil, which will create a light protective film on the skin.

But the composition of Cosmetex Roland Loshi Moisture Horse Oil Lip Cream contains horse oil, which stops inflammation and relieves dryness. Most importantly, this balm is suitable for everyone - even kids.

Warmers

We took care of the skin on your face, but it’s not without reason that they say that your feet need to be kept warm. A holiday at a ski resort can be ruined by wet shoes: numb toes and heels will lead you to only one place - to a warm room. But this will not happen if you take care of comfort in advance.

Warming insoles are a unique invention that will come in handy anytime, anywhere. They keep warm for up to 10 hours, are compact and pleasant to the touch. Disposable Kobayashi Kiribai Cairo heating pads are glued directly to socks and keep your feet warm, and Kobayashi Kiribai Cairo warming plates can be placed on any part of the body (on clothing, not on the skin).
