Skin care for winter sports 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. Sun, snow and their effects on the skin Many people think that the danger of 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. 1. skiing & snowboarding 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 travelling. 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 an oily but not too heavy face cream that strengthens the skin barrier and retains moisture: To product 2. cross-country skiing When cross-country skiing, you are often outdoors for several hours and therefore exposed to even more intense weather conditions. The wind in particular can put a lot of strain on the skin and remove moisture. Lightweight, fast-absorbing care products that do not weigh the skin down but still offer long-lasting protection are ideal for this type of sport. 3. winter walks in the snow Those who prefer a more leisurely pace and simply stroll through the snow should also focus not only on warm clothing, but also on 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: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vHeqAwa8z-k About the product Sensitive areas of the body Particularly sensitive areas such as the lips and eye area require 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. To the product The winter skin care plan 1. preparation before sportStart 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 sporting activities. 2. during sportProtect 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 sportAfter skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing, your skin should receive a rich moisturiser. Use a regenerating cream that 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: To the product summary 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. Our products offer you everything you need for well-groomed skin on every winter adventure. Whether it's moisturising creams, protective lip balms or regenerating care - with the right routine, you'll be perfectly equipped for winter sports.

Skin care in winter Winter poses particular challenges for our skin. Cold temperatures, dry heating air and frequent hand washing can put a lot of strain on the skin on your hands, feet and face. In this blog post, we give you comprehensive tips on skin care in the cold season and show you how you can optimally protect and care for your skin with high-quality products from Tal. The challenges of winter skin ColdCold temperatures constrict the blood vessels, which means that the skin is less well supplied with blood and nutrients. Dry airHeating air reduces the humidity indoors, which leads to moisture loss from the skin. Frequent hand washing and sanitisingHygiene is particularly important during the flu season, but frequent washing and sanitising can dry out the skin. Facial care in winter CleansingMild cleansing is essential to avoid destroying the skin's natural protective barrier. Use lukewarm water and gentle cleansing products to remove dirt and excess sebum from the skin without drying it out. Moisturise and protectAfter cleansing, the skin needs moisturising and protection. The Tal Absolue facial care line offers optimal solutions here. It combines high-tech active ingredients with high-alpine plant extracts and protects the skin from environmental influences such as UV radiation and pollution. Tal Absolue Day Care is recommended for the day to protect the skin from daily stresses and strains.

It contains high-quality plant extracts such as edelweiss, which are known for their antioxidant effect, and offers intensive care for heavily stressed hands. Disinfection and hygieneIn the flu season, frequent hand washing and disinfection is essential. We recommend using Tal Med Hand Wash Lotion to avoid putting too much strain on the skin.

It offers an immediate effect for cracked and stressed feet and can be used regularly to keep the skin soft and supple. Cold protection and prevention ClothingProtect your skin from the cold by wearing gloves, warm socks and scarves.

Nutrition and hydrationA balanced diet with sufficient vitamins and minerals supports the skin from the inside. Also drink enough water. Room climateEnsure a moderate room temperature and use humidifiers to increase the humidity if necessary. This prevents the skin from drying out due to heating air.
