Prevent your skin from dehydrating in the cold temperatures and sun rays. Look for a moisturiser that has Glycerin, a humectant that attracts water to the skin and Hyaluronic Acid, which helps the skin retain moisture. This cream has both.

If you’re off to the slopes, you need sun protection. The higher the altitude the higher the ultra violet levels, plus the sun reflects off the snow; both factors can increase your chances of sun damage. This high factor sun lotion protects from both UVA and UVB rays, while also being resistant to water and perspiration.

Switching between freezing temperatures and heated chalets will wreak havoc on your skin. Pack a good back-to-basics body lotion. This moisturiser, with sweet almond oil, is super hydrating and softening.
