Which face cream for skiing?

To protect your skin while skiing, it is advisable to choose a cream suitable for your skin phototype. The phototype is a classification system for individuals based on their skin's reaction to UV exposure, taking into account the skin tone (colour) in conjunction with eye and hair colour. This allows for an assessment of its tanning ability for each skin type. To date, there are 6 identified:

• Phototype I: Very fair skin with freckles that never tans in the sun but with a systematic risk of sunburn.

• Phototype II : Light skin that reddens in the sun but occasionally acquires a slight tan and frequently suffers from sunburn.

• Phototype III : Fair to medium skin that sometimes reddens and tans gradually (light tanning).

• Phototype IV: Skin that is naturally matte and tans well (deep tan) with occasional sunburns during intense exposure.

• Phototype V: Brown/mixed-race skin that tans easily (very dark tan) with rare occurrences of sunburn.

• Phototype VI: Dark skin that tans in the sun and very rarely experiences sunburn.

To take care of your skin during the winter period, you also need to know your skin type (dry, oily, combination, or other). It is then appropriate to choose suitable skincare products.

In winter, opt for a moisturising treatment, as well-hydrated skin is better able to withstand temperature fluctuations. The aim is to recreate a lipid layer and prevent the cold from attacking the epidermis and causing redness. Our hydrating face cream is suitable for these conditions, and is appropriate for sensitive, dry, combination and normal skin types. However, if you have oily skin, avoid using it.

1. In the morning, apply a small amount to your clean, dry face, following your usual serum.

2. Then massage using circular movements to allow the treatment time to fully penetrate the skin.

Also, perform gentle and infrequent exfoliations. If you have oily skin, scheduling an exfoliation once a week is sufficient. However, if you have normal or dry skin, do it every 15 days. Our radiance facial scrub with rosehip oil contains organic rosehip oil and an organic carrot macerate. In addition to promoting cell renewal, this treatment unclogs pores. It smooths the skin and brings radiance to the complexion.
