Although the the ski season started at the beginning of December last yearOnly in these first weeks of January does it start to ski well. It didn’t matter which destination you chose to go skiing: the high temperatures and little snowfall so far this season had forced many resorts to close much of their slopes, with few ski miles. Happy it seems that the trend is starting to change, so now we can start thinking about getting our suitcase ready to go skiing. because we go to the snow.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time skiing (in which case here are some skiing tips for beginners) or if you’re a pro: It is essential to bring the right equipment for skiing. Thermal clothing, snow pants, ski goggles, mountain jacket… The lesson about what clothing to wear when skiing is clear to us, also for après-ski. But there is one part that we cannot downplay and that is ours Make-up bag.

Us skin suffers a lot in the snow due to the sun and low temperaturesso it is essential give it the attention it deserves. So today we’re going to take a tour of the essentials beauty to go to the snow, before, during and after skiing. Because, as María Escobar, from Skinpharmacy Jorge Juan 34, explains: “Improving skin care and protection before, during and after a day of skiing is essential to keep our skin barrier in perfect condition and prevent extreme dryness and the appearance of wrinkles and spots.”.

Indispensable in the toiletry bag to go to the snow

If hydration is always an essential step in our routine, especially in the snow. So when you’re getting ready to go skiing, the first step in your post-cleanser routine is a moisturizer. La Moisture Surge, one of Clinique’s most mythical creams, is a very good idea because it provides long-lasting hydration. Available from 12.95 euros.

A basic when we go to the snow: whether it’s sunny or not, we ALWAYS have to put on sunscreen. The white of the snow helps to reflect more than 80% of the ultraviolet rays, a very aggressive amount for our skin that makes sun protection essential. Always a factor of SPF +50 and if it can be moisturizing, all the better. The ideal is to apply it at home, before skiing, and then reapply when we deem it necessary. This one from Piz Buin has been specially developed for the mountains and costs 9.63 euros.

A moisturizing eye contour is essential to complement the cream. The eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of the body, so in addition to protecting them with polarized glasses when skiing, we must also moisturize them, because according to María “sudden temperature changes from outside to heated places cause dehydration and
tightness of the tissue, slowing down the microcirculation of the tissues that causes puffiness and dark circles“. There is never a lack of it in my toiletry bag Hydraphase Intense Yeux by La Roche Posay. €14.99.

Just as we should protect our skin from the sun, we should do the same with our lips. That’s why it’s important to always have a cocoa with SPF +50 lip protection with you, like this one from ISDIN, which always slips into my jacket pocket when I’m skiing. 5.77 euros.

In my day-to-day life, this Laneige night mask has been a must-have since I tried it about three or four years ago, so it’s inevitable that I also take it with me when I go to the snow. It is a real miracle in terms of hydration and I often use it like normal cocoa, not just at night. €24.99.
