Ski Resort Christmas by Emma Smith, ELLE and ELLEuk.com Beauty Director
Ski Christmas
Under the no-nonsense regulations stipulated by my husband-to-be, a ski holiday is not a time for too much relaxation, in fact it’s breakfast on first lifts and non-stop skiing until the very last. So any grooming I decide to undertake has to be effective and long-lasting, especially if I plan to work my streamlined Chanel jacket and Salopettes, cosy cashmere Vince and Joseph jumpers (always in black so that said other half can spot me easily down the piste). A study SPF that will protect me from the UV rays, a thick moisturiser to stop the harsh winds from drying out and a slick of waterproof mascara are the order of the day. In the evenings I love a soft warm bronzer to highlight my cheekbones. -

Heady and warm, this scent almost heats you up as you sniff it through your cashmere. It’s also super romantic for cosy nights in, in front of the fire.

A super sturdy SPF that keeps the skin protected, the tint keeps the complexion nice and even too which is great when my skin gets blotchy from the winds.

A slick of this will stay firmly on the lashes through sleet, snow or blizzards.

Super natural and the only thing I need for dry patchy skin, I keep a mini travel tube of this in my jacket pocket wherever I go.
