When it comes to your skin, skiing is undoubtedly an extreme sport. Extreme temperatures and strong winds deplete the skin’s natural moisture reserves and weaken its barrier, leading to dehydration, peeling, and irritation. This means it’s essential to use products rich in fats and antioxidants while doubling up on hydration.
On mountain peaks, the sun can be deceiving as extreme UV levels are unforgiving to exposed skin areas. Due to the cold wind during skiing, we often don’t feel the sun’s burning effects. This can result in a phenomenon known as “windburn,” where the skin experiences redness and burning sensations. Therefore, along with thermal clothing and sunglasses, it’s crucial to be prepared with products that provide strong facial skin protection.
– Sun Protection: “Protection Plus SPF 30” cream from Magiray’s “HIS HERS” series. It absorbs easily and provides effective protection. Remember to reapply every two hours even if you don’t feel the sun’s heat. Also ensure you cover all exposed areas like ears and the back of your neck.
– Hydration Protection: “Acai Plus Restorative Cream” from Magiray’s “HIS HERS” series. This rich cream is packed with plant oils, powerful antioxidants, and effective moisturizers. It helps retain your skin’s natural moisture reserves, softens rough patches, and restores sensitive skin. Apply in the morning before sunscreen and in the evening after cleansing.
– Night Recovery for Irritated Skin: “DermaBalm” Magiray. A formula designed to restore irritated, sensitive, inflamed, and dehydrated skin. It can be used as a general restorative product or as a spot treatment for more problematic areas like around the eyes or lips. Recommended for nighttime use.
Additionally, avoid using gel-based or overly liquid textures as well as aggressive or drying ingredients like mineral oils, alcohols, or acids. Opt for gentle micellar-based cleansers instead of soaps.
And most importantly – enjoy your ski vacation with healthy and well-cared-for skin with Magiray!
