This is the best SPF care for the slopes
If you're going skiing, it's of course essential to pack warm clothing. Especially in 2025 style down the slopes? Then Lil has found the cutest ski suit the coziest sweaters for after skiing Daan the coolest ski accessories. and Just leave some space in your suitcase for skincare, because that's more important than ever in extreme temperatures. The bright sun and cold wind can cause a lot of trouble if you don't protect your skin. That lip balm you usually have in your bag is not enough, and your face could use some extra hydration with a high SPF. Check out our 4 handy tips here:.
1. Sunscreen with SPF for the face
Opt for a thick (not water-based, as it can freeze) sunscreen with a high SPF, preferably SPF 50, to protect your skin all day against the intense UV radiation on the slopes. The best is to reapply sunscreen every few hours; one application is unfortunately not enough.
2. Lip balm with SPF.
Your lips are very sensitive to cold weather but also to UV radiation (so even in summer it's wise to protect your lips extra). Use a lip balm with at least SPF 30.
3. Moisturizing creams.
The cold and dry air can dry out your skin. Use a rich, moisturizing cream to retain moisture and strengthen your skin barrier.
Ingredients like ceramides. and hyaluronic acid are perfect, so check the packaging beforehand. 4. Extra tips.
Avoid over-exfoliating: this can damage and weaken the skin barrier, making your skin more sensitive to cold and sun.
Protect your skin from the wind: wear a scarf, a nice balaclava is ideal or a face mask to protect your skin from cold wind.
Hydrate from the inside: drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated.
