There are not many things that can match a weekend away in the snowy mountains. You can ski, cross-country ski or just take a walk. And the fresh air! Your lungs will thank you. But what about your complexion? Will the products in your daily beauty routine be enough?
At higher altitudes, outdoor temperatures plummet, and the alternation of dry heat from the fireplace and freezing temperatures outside is a perfect recipe for damaging the skin's natural barrier. With our perfectly designed skin care routine, you don't have to worry about any of that.
In the mountains you need your skin to be protected and nourished. An ordinary moisturiser won't do. It has to protect the skin from the harsh outdoor elements and nourish it.
Cold cream may provide nourishment, but it doesn't protect from the sun. And especially when in the mountains, you need to apply a high SPF. The sun is really strong at higher altitudes, so be sure to apply sunscreen every two hours. A great one is CeraVe Moisturizers. It has SPF 50 and contains ceramides that strengthen the skin's natural barrier.
Your face and lips are precisely the places on your body that are most affected by the cold outside. And the lips are usually the most neglected. And yet all it takes is so little. Don't lick them and treat them regularly with balm. Blistex Ultra SPF 50+ is ideal for the mountains. It hydrates, nourishes, and contains SPF 50, so your lips will be well protected.
Of course, you need to cleanse your skin thoroughly after a day out. Avoid drying makeup removers and opt for hydrating and gentle products. KORIKA HI-TECH LIPOSOME Hydrating Solution Moisture-lock cleanser rids your skin of impurities, prevents irritation during cleansing and provides the necessary moisture.
When temperatures fluctuate a lot, the skin tends to become dry and flaky, and sometimes moisturiser alone is not enough. Take inspiration from Korea and start using Beauty Of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water. Apply morning and night and see how quickly you'll have luscious and plump skin.
Apply another dose of hydration to your still damp face, this time in the form of Holika Holika Good Cera cream. It contains ceramides that prevent moisture loss and leave the skin hydrated, smooth and supple.
If you want to maintain your skin in top condition even in the mountains, the final layer of your overall care should be an oil, such as Saloos Extra Organic Cold Pressed Rosehip Oil. It will cover everything nicely and ensure that any previous products are working at full capacity. It also soothes and regenerates the skin.
And to keep everything you need for your grooming routine in the mountains together, you can, like us, pack it all in a beautiful toiletry bag.
Here you have all the products that will guarantee you great skin even in the mountains and the cold, all in one bag. Don't forget to watch our inboxing video first.
