Chaps, let’s talk skiing. You’ve packed your gear, perfected your après-ski pose, and are ready to conquer the slopes. But have you considered what that icy mountain air is doing to your skin? Trust me, windburned cheeks and cracked lips are not the souvenirs you want. So, let’s get into the essential grooming kit that’ll keep you looking less like a yeti and more like a well-moisturised snow king.
SPF, Because Sunburn Is Not a Vibe
The sun reflects off the snow like it’s actively trying to roast you. Enter Horace Mattifying Moisturiser SPF30, hydration, sun protection, and zero grease. It’s lightweight, absorbs fast, and won’t make you look like an oil slick in your post-ski Instagram.
Lip Balm: The Unsung Hero
Chapped lips? Not today. Malin + Goetz SPF30 Lip Balm keeps them soft, hydrated, and burn-free. Bonus: no weird glossy finish, so you won’t look like you borrowed it from your girlfriend’s handbag.
Hand Cream: Because Dry, Cracked Knuckles Are for Lumberjacks
Your hands will take a beating, so slather on some Aesop Resurrection Hand Balm post-ski. It smells incredible (like a spa, but manlier) and will stop your hands from resembling a dried-up riverbed.
No Sweat, No Problem
Layers are great until you start sweating like you’re in a sauna. Anthony No Sweat Body Defense keeps things fresh down there, so your après-ski activities don’t involve… chafing regrets.
Muscle Recovery Like a Pro
After a day of heroic (or humiliating) skiing, soak in C.O. Bigelow Herbal Comfort Soak. It’s basically a warm hug for sore muscles.
Deodorant That Works Overtime
Last but not least, swap out that under-performing deodorant for Murdock Black Tea Deodorant. It keeps your pits fresh, smells on-point, and won’t clash with your fragrance.
Ski hard, stay moisturised, and let’s leave the windburn to the amateurs.
