How usually have you inhaled that cold air while you swoop on the slopes, and felt wartrol of proper white powdery snow in your cheeks? You step off the slopes as well as in front of the mirror, and discover that rather than appearing like a rosy-cheeked ski bunny, you look just like a chapped, flushed mess of the human together with your hair both matted to your scalp and tangled beyond measure.

Here are a few tricks to making sure that you can stroll straight from the black diamond go to the lodge but still look ready to glow.

  • In advance, a hydrating mask will help protect and nourish hair. During the slopes, try pinning hair right into a low bun or braiding it down your back. That can help keep your tangles low and can help camouflage that flatness from your helmet.
  • We know to wear sunscreen regularly, but when you are facing the direct sun from above and the reflected sun in the snow, it's more valuable that ever. Plus it helps reduce the goggle tan which has snuck on all of us.
  • Never visit the slopes without your lip balm containing SPF with a minimum of 15. The sun and the cold and the wind all combine into some painfully chapped lips. Make it tinted and you're simply one step ahead of the game!
  • Waterproof eyeliner and waterproof mascara can go a long way to creating you look polished in the après-ski lounge. Adding several quick swipes of the foundation stick might help blend away the redness, and your skin will glow without looking overly made up.
