The cold season not only brings snow-covered landscapes and unforgettable winter sports experiences, but also special challenges for our skin. Whether skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing or simply walking in the snow - the skin is exposed to particular stresses in winter. Wind, cold and the reflection of the sun on the snow can lead to skin problems, but these can be easily avoided with the right skin care. In this blog post, you will find out why skin care is so important for winter sports and how you can optimally protect your skin - with the high-quality products from Tal Hautpflege.
Many people think that the danger from the sun only exists in summer, but the winter sun can be just as harmful to the skin. Snow reflects up to 80 per cent of UV rays, which means that the skin is exposed to intense UV rays even in winter. Especially on the slopes, where the reflection from the snow is even stronger, the risk of sunburn increases, even in cool temperatures. In addition, the low temperatures and icy wind can dry out and irritate the skin. Sensitive skin areas such as the cheeks, nose and lips are particularly affected.
When you are skiing or snowboarding, you are exposed to the cold and wind at higher altitudes. The skin dries out quickly and can become brittle due to constant contact with the wind. UV rays are particularly intense at high altitudes. It is therefore important to protect your skin before you set off. It is therefore essential to use a sun cream suitable for your skin type with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. We also recommend the following an oily but not too heavy face cream that strengthens the skin barrier and retains moisture:
When cross-country skiing, you often spend several hours outdoors and are therefore exposed to even more intense weather conditions. The wind in particular can put a lot of strain on the skin and remove moisture. Light, fast-absorbing care products that do not weigh the skin down but still offer long-lasting protection are ideal for this type of sport.
If you prefer a more leisurely stroll through the snow, you should not only focus on warm clothing, but also pay attention to the right skin protection. UV rays and wind can also irritate and damage the skin during long walks in the snow. A rich cream is recommended to prevent redness or skin irritation. To protect your hands from the cold and moisture, we recommend our Tal MED Protect. It is ideal for providing your hands with the necessary weather protection during long walks in winter:
Particularly sensitive areas such as the lips and eye area need extra attention in winter. Lips can quickly become chapped due to the cold air and sun. It is best to use a moisturising lip balm with UV protection outdoors. With a high-quality lip balm, such as Tal SOS-Balm Lip & Skin, you can regenerate sensitive lips after winter sports. The eye area should also be protected during winter sports, as the delicate skin here is particularly susceptible to dryness and UV damage. A light eye cream with moisturising ingredients is particularly recommended here.
1. preparation before the sport
Start with a moisturising cream that prepares your skin well for the day. Make sure that it is absorbed quickly and is not sticky so as not to impair your sports activities.
2. during sport
Protect sensitive areas such as lips and nose with a special balm. For longer outdoor activities, you can regularly moisturise your skin with a light cream.
3. care after sport
After skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing, your skin should receive rich care. Use a regenerating cream herewhich soothes the skin and regenerates it after the rigours of winter sports. For regeneration after sport, we recommend our Tal ABOLUE Total Regeneration Night Cream:
Skin care in winter and during winter sports should not be underestimated. The combination of cold, wind and intense UV rays is a challenge for the skin, but with the right care you can optimally protect and care for your skin.
