Ski-Friendly Makeup Tips

[kseitz21]

I will be going on my first ski trip soon, and I’m trying to plan our what sort of makeup to wear on the slopes. I live in Texas so my current beauty routine is not gonna be friendly for the cold and dry air at the top of the mountains. Any suggestions? I’ve looked a little into tinted moisturizers, but I’m so fair that they’re all too dark.

@kseitz21, I agree with the others but want to also add make sure your lip balm has SPF and reapply often too. In my pockets, I always had deluxe sample or travel sized sunscreen, face cream, hand cream, and lip balm. Have fun on your trip!

@kseitz21 I absolutely agree with what @skcfan said. Moisturizer and sunscreen+goggles are a must when in the snow since more sunlight gets reflected off of the snow and onto you. A good occlusive like Aquaphor or Vaseline are commonly used for dry lips and skin. I also wrap something like a scarf over my face below my eyes to prevent windburn.  

Makeup-wise, if you really need to apply a base, mix a bit of your foundation with your moisturizer. Andy maybe mascara. You can also wear a tinted lip balm or lipstick and layer Aquaphor/Vaseline over it to protect the lips.

I don't apply makeup at all when in the snow since the goggles, scarf/bandana, and my runny nose would end up wiping everything off.

@kseitz21 I don’t know that I would wear too much makeup while skiing. Your goggles cover most of your face anyways.

Instead I would focus on a good skincare routine. A very moisturizing lip balm is necessary; I use Vaseline. My lips always get chapped so I would keep it in your coat so you can reapply often.

Also, don’t forget to wear a good high spf sunscreen. And reapply often. It’s very easy to get a bad sunburn on the slopes, and I think a lot of people forget to reapply sunscreen as often when it’s cold out.

Have fun!
