Snow Beauty Care Tips

Snow sports are the perfect option to get out of the house during winter, leave the sofa behind and enjoy outdoor activities. If you're planning a ski trip, here are some basic care tips you should follow to return from your holiday in perfect condition.

And be especially careful if you're travelling with children. You can check some recommendations for little ones here.



If we want our skin to stay healthy during our days practising snow sports, the best thing we can do is apply a moisturising cream with high SPF during the day. Why? The cold can cause dryness, itching or flaking. Skin becomes congested in winter, so we need to pay attention to its care.

One of the most important things to remember - which many people forget - is the sun. Even in winter, the sun is still there and still emits radiation, which is actually intensified by the snow's reflection. What can we do to prevent skin damage? The same thing we do in summer when going to the beach: use sunscreen.



The facial areas requiring special attention are the nose, cheekbones, lips (there are specialised sunscreens for these too) and ears. If travelling with children or elderly people, ensure they reapply sunscreen at least every two hours to prevent burns.

We shouldn't neglect our hands either. In winter, the cold and abrupt temperature changes also cause dryness, so it's advisable to use a restorative moisturising cream and protect them with gloves while enjoying our favourite snow sports.



As mentioned earlier, sunlight reflects off snow and intensifies its effects. We mustn't forget to wear proper snow goggles that offer full UV protection.

Here's our guide on how to choose ski goggles. Not wearing them can cause eye injuries like temporary snow blindness or even permanent corneal damage. Always purchase from specialist retailers that guarantee 100% UV protection.




Hair protection is equally important, as both winter and summer weather conditions with temperature changes can cause significant damage. When planning a snow trip, we need to take extra precautions to maintain strong, healthy and shiny hair.

The best approach is to start hair care at least one week before arriving at the ski resort. How? By using moisturising products with UVA/UVB filters against ultraviolet radiation when possible.
 


Before hitting the slopes, you can also apply a treatment spray to prevent scalp dryness. Don't forget to use hydrating treatments like masks after your day's activities.

These are our beauty and health tips for your snow holiday. Remember these recommendations and you'll fully enjoy every aspect of your winter experience.
