Ski Skincare Protection. Hit The Slopes, Protect Your Glow – Skincare for Every Snow Adventure
Mountain air is far purer, with less fine pollutant particles. So it can pass smoothly through our lungs, beautiful breathing for anyone with allergy issues. But conversely the fine air makes it far easier to get sunburn. At altitude the air can also be super-dry and with a chill wind this can inflict serious damage on your complexion.
Ski Skincare Protection Basics
Into thin air
Studies show that for every 1,000 feet of elevation you’ll experience an 8-10 percent increase in UV intensity. So, at Courchevel’s highest ski resort 1850, you’re exposed to over 18 percent more sunlight than at sea level. While skiing in Aspen at 3,800 feet, you’re exposed to over 30 percent more. Basically, the air is purer so the sun rays are not scattered by pollution or dust particles. Consequently they’re more powerful. Therefore, ensure you use an SPF factor sunscreen and replenish frequently for optimum Ski Skincare Protection.
A rejuvenating steam
Straight off the ski slopes and into a sauna or steam room is a soothing ritual and can be beneficial for your complexion. As you sweat it opens your pores which helps your body purge toxins. Sweating also boosts blood circulation, nourishing the skin cells with oxygen and nutrients, resulting in a healthy glow. However after a sauna especially, you will need to rehydrate your skin. Shower, pat dry and apply moisturiser immediately to lock in the water. Also drink plenty of water, this can flush out further toxins, help maintain skin elasticity and tackle puffy eyes. Hydrate both from the inside and outside for optimum Ski Skincare Protection.
Humidify
Mountain air is so dry, when it rises up the slopes it condenses into clouds and loses moisture as snow. This dry air directly effects your skin’s health, sucking moisture out of your complexion. We’ll explain how Visible Youth™ water-based serums and moisturiser will give your skin that hydrating boost but meanwhile you can take steps to humidify your environment. If you’re staying in a hotel, you might request a humidifier, they often have one. Otherwise, two good tips: place a bowl of water by the radiator or leave the door open from the shower so hydrating steam permeates the rest of the room. a few simple tasks help optimum Ski Skincare Protection.
Saturate skin with HA
Visible Youth™ accurately delivers rehydrating HA, which carries an amazing 1000 times its own weight of water. The Skin Tech Lab behind Visible Youth™ identified the ‘Golden Calculation’, this is the optimal weight HA molecule to penetrate the dermis and reach precisely where it is needed, while other HA formulas sit on the skin’s surface.
Pure as the driven snow
Visible Youth™ only uses the purest medical grade HA available in its skincare formulas. The regenerating biomaterial captured in the HA molecule is 100% natural to the body’s make up. The active botanicals that pair with the biomaterial are scientifically tested.
Adapting your skincare routine to include more moisturising and protective products can help mitigate these effects and maintain healthy skin during Winter.

HYALURONIC ACID (HA) AS A MOISTURISER
Hyaluronic acid plays a pivotal role in moisturising our skin making it a key weapon for Ski Skincare Protection:
HIGH WATER RETENTION: Hyaluronic acid is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water providing intense hydration. It helps retain that moisture in the skin, alleviating dryness, and promotes healing.
SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT: It strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and keep skin plump.
DEEP HYDRATION: Penetrates the skin’s surface to hydrate deep layers, improving overall skin texture and elasticity.
REDUCED MOISTURE LOSS: Forms a protective layer on the skin, reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
Choosing products containing HA can help us master moisturising and weaponise our skincare routine to maximise Ski Skincare Protection .
