3 Skincare Products to Make Ski Season Safe and Stylish
Posted by Thrive Causemetics on January 21st, 2019
If you live in proximity to the mountains or you’re eagerly planning a wintery vacation to them, you’re probably already celebrating the start of ski and snowboarding season. Whether you’re a cross country skier, back country explorer, terrain park enthusiast, or a good old-fashioned alpine purist, when winter starts, it’s as happy as Christmas morning.
While winter is undeniably beautiful, the frigid temperatures, high winds, and extreme UV exposure can wreak havoc on your skin. Follow these skincare tips to protect your skin this winter and add a little touch of style to the slopes.
Moisturizer with SPF
If you’ve ever had a bluebird day out on the mountains, you know just how mind-blowingly gorgeous winter truly is. A cold, crisp day, not a cloud in the sky, with vividly green trees and the sparkling snow all make for a purely blissful experience. However, a bluebird day also means you need to be extra vigilant about sun protection, since you will be directly exposed to the sun as well as rays that are reflected off the snow.
To keep your face protected from the sun on a bluebird day, or any day outside, look for a tinted sunscreen that will protect against UVA and UVB rays while also keeping skin hydrated. A tinted moisturizer with SPF is an effective way to protect your skin out on the slopes. Look for products formulated with vitamin C, vitamin E, and flaxseed extract as well as broad spectrum SPF 35 to help protect against from harmful UVA and UVB rays while also adding powerful antioxidants and nutrients to keep skin healthy. The added moisture will also help protect against the cold, drying winter air that can leave your skin feeling chapped and raw. Plus, you’ll also get the added benefit of flawless coverage that diffuses skin’s imperfections—and who doesn’t need that on the slopes?
Matte Lipstick
Just as your face is susceptible to the sun’s rays, so too are your lips. To prevent drying, chapping, and painful cracking, look for creamy, classic lip products that lock in moisture all day. This will not only safeguard against winter’s drying effects but will help your lips retain moisture.
If you’re looking to add a little flair to your slope style, a matte lipstick can deliver the same hydrating effects while adding just a hint of long-lasting color. Look for lip care products that include high-performing, vegan ingredients without sulfates and parabens for lasting color and lip protection.
Mascara
Let’s be honest, sometimes there’s a “look” on the slopes. It’s not a glam look as much as it is outdoorsy chic. Whether you’re carving down the mountain or relaxing in the lodge, mascara adds just a touch of color and definition to those lashes to help you pull off that classic “no-makeup makeup” looks. Look for a high-quality mascara formulated with vegan ingredients, plant extracts, and vitamin B5 to make your eyes pop and keep your lashes healthy.
