Ski season is well and truly upon us! Whilst we love to immerse ourselves into the snowy slopes come winter, we can’t help but feel some concern for the negative impact our skin can take as a result. Harsh weather conditions such as wind and snow can have a noticeable effect on the skin including broken capillaries, wind burn and flare ups/sensitivity.
With this is mind, we’ve put together some of our top ski skin saviours:
Revitalizing Moisture Strips: Eyes
These soft gel strips adhere to the area under your eyes to deliver nourishing ingredients that work to minimise the appearance of puffiness and dark circles to brighten while you sleep, nap or relax. Absorbs into skin, so no post-rinsing is necessary. Olive leaf protects while mulberry and alpha-arbutin brighten. Available for 6.99 at www.dhcuk.co.uk
