i use sunscreen when i go skiing, but it seems like i need more. Maybe some sort of pre- treatment and post treatment kind of thing. My face always gets purply color after skiing, which I think because of sunburn and windburn.
anybody has a some sort of treatment that works that I can follow.
thanks |

| I know after a long day of snowboarding my skin's just dry like no tomorrow. I've never really been purple though, have had some wind burn and face a little red and quite chapped. Don't forget to protect your lips also. I'd moisturize heavily before hand or even maybe the night before do some sort of a treatment moisturizing mask. Then also put on a heavy moisturizer or even a night cream ( since those tend to be heavier) and then sufficient sunscreen. |

I have not tried it, but what about Cellcosmet Intensive treatments Ultra Cell.
I was told that Concentrated Day/Night creams are stronger then Ultra Vital moisterizer. I use them when shovelling the snow or when I go horseback riding in the winter. |

I have a peeling problem also  Don't apply any type of moisterizer on thick. Layer it lightly and reapply every hour or so. |

| I recommend Creme de L'Extreme by Osmotics. It is the ultimate barrier repair/protection creme. |

| Can that clog your pores? |

| Use vaseline while you're out. It won't clog pores because the molecules are actually too large to get into your pores. However it will prevent like 98% moisture loss. |

most of the stuff that will really protect your face from sunburn/windburn whilst skiing needs to be slathered on and will clog the pores. you can minimise this by putting an AHA or BHA product underneath and a really thorough wash (with an oil/balm based cleanser and cloth) after you come in. |

When I go out in the cold I usually try to avoid washing my face in the morning.If I apply moisturiser I make sure I do it at least 1 hour before I go out. I also apply a genorous layer of sunscreen. I use one especially for snow/water sports, with pfysical filter, waterproof and high spf. Remember to reapply during the day. Use an oilbased cleanser to remove sunscrren at night.
Otherwise it is a good idea to try to cover the face with something (skimask?) in order to protect it from wind and cold. The large temprature changes will really be rough on your skin! |

Id say wear a face mask - it sounds like your skin takes a real beating! I use B. Kamins maple cream (formulated for Canadian winters)if Im going to be out in the cold for any prolonged period...If you are oily though, Id stay away from it (far away) and just try to counteract the weather effects with one of those hat-like face masks (I dont know what they are called)
Good luck!

I agree re the cover up option. I ski a bit and find the best thing when it is cold is to put on some lip balm, I use blistex, a night cream and then cover up using a neck warmer which I tuck under my goggles. On a warm day it it lashings of sunscreen and a good cleanse at the end of the day. Some companies have products that are designed for those in the outdoors but I haven't tried them.
Also a small tip - if you ever ski in New Zealand/Australia - don't use a European sunscreen as they are not strong enough. You will need a 30 plus. |
