A Skincare Guide for Skiers:
Essential Tips for Your Best Skin During Ski Season
There’s nothing better than a long, sunny day on the slopes — fresh air, snow-covered views, and that perfect rush. But your skin? Yeah, it’s getting a workout too. Between harsh winds, elevation changes, intense UV rays, cold temps, and dry mountain air, your skin can end up dry, red, or even windburned if you’re not prepared.
Here’s how to get your skin ready for the slopes — and keep it happy all day long.
Layer Up Your Hydration
I’m not talking about your base layers here — this is about moisturizing your skin like a pro. Harsh winter conditions strip your skin’s natural barrier, so layering your hydration is key. Start with your lightest serums and work your way up to thicker creams that seal it all in.
Here’s my go-to lineup for serious slope protection:
Neogenesis Beta Glucan Serum for water-like hydration and barrier repair. If your skin feels dry, red, or sensitive, ditch that hyaluronic acid serum — Beta-Glucan, derived from shiitake mushrooms, boosts collagen, soothes irritation, and strengthens your skin’s immune defense.
Face Lift Firming Serum packed with absorbable collagen threads to keep your skin firm and bouncy.
Dermo Rejuvenation Re-Gel for that slugging-style moisture seal to lock everything in place.
Rich M Lotion to finish with a rich barrier that protects against the harshest elements.
Let these layers set for 5 minutes before you move on to your SPF.
Protect With a Goldilocks Sunscreen
High elevation plus snow reflection means UV rays are stronger than you think. Apply your SPF generously — and don’t forget to reapply throughout the day.
I swear by the Pfect-a Solar Elixir Serum Sunscreen — it feels like a hydrating serum, melts effortlessly into skin, and leaves no greasy or white cast behind. It’s seriously the perfect everyday sunscreen for anyone who wants protection without the fuss.
Accessorize for Extra Defense
Ski goggles, sunglasses, scarves, balaclavas, and helmets aren’t just style statements — they’re your skin’s best friends when the wind picks up and the sun’s blazing. Don’t leave the house without them!
Après-Ski Skin Rescue
When you’re done shredding the slopes, don’t forget your double cleanse. Use a gentle pre-cleansing oil like KrX Pre-Cleansing Oil to melt away makeup, sunscreen, and grime, then follow with a water-based cleanser to truly refresh your skin.
After cleansing, soothe and hydrate with your favorite calming serums or masks. The KrX Treatment & Booster Biocellulose Mask is amazing for replenishing moisture and calming any windburn or irritation — it hugs your skin like a second layer and delivers hyaluronic acid, peptides, and Centella Asiatica right where you need it.
Pro Tip: Keep Essentials Handy
Carry your SPF and lip balm in your coat pocket. Facing the cold without lip protection is like going up a creek without a paddle — not fun and definitely not skin-friendly.
Bottom line: Winter sports are a blast, but your skin needs some extra love to keep up. With the right hydration, sun protection, and soothing products (like Neogenesis Beta Glucan Serum, Pfect-a Solar Elixir Sunscreen, and KrX Masks), you can enjoy the slopes without worrying about windburn, dryness, or irritation.
