Skiing is exhilarating, but the combination of high altitudes, freezing temperatures, and intense sun exposure can wreak havoc on your skin. Our editor just returned from the slopes and is sharing the beauty essentials that kept her skin protected, hydrated, and glowing throughout the trip. From SPF saviours to long-lasting makeup, here are the must-have products she packed in her ski bag.
EviDenS de Beauté The Total Shield SPF 50
Sun protection is non-negotiable when skiing, and this luxurious SPF from EviDenS de Beauté was the perfect shield against harsh UV rays. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula provided long-lasting protection while hydrating and smoothing the skin. A must-have for high-altitude adventures!
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Cold winds and dry mountain air can lead to chapped lips, but this cult-favourite lip mask kept dryness at bay. Applied overnight or as a balm during the day, it delivered intense moisture and left lips feeling soft and supple.
Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain
A reliable lip colour on the slopes? Wonderskin’s lip stain did not disappoint. Its smudge-proof and waterproof formula ensured a pop of colour that stayed put through skiing, après-ski drinks, and everything in between.
Sculpted by Aimee Beauty Base Primer
A great base is essential for keeping makeup intact all day. This multitasking primer from Sculpted by Aimee provided hydration, SPF 50 protection, and a radiant finish – all while helping foundation last longer, even in extreme conditions.
Oui Cherie Hydrating & Setting Mist
A refreshing mist that locks makeup in place? Yes, please! The Oui Cherie Setting Spray kept makeup looking fresh while offering a burst of hydration, which was much needed after hours on the slopes.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
A touch of colour made all the difference in achieving that après-ski glow. Rare Beauty’s liquid blush blended seamlessly, adding a natural-looking flush that stayed put all day.
NARS Laguna Bronzer
For that sun-kissed look (without the sun damage), NARS’ iconic Laguna Bronzer was a go-to. A quick sweep over the cheeks and forehead gave a natural warmth, making it look like we'd just come off the slopes—minus the redness.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
After a long day in the cold, this cleansing balm melted away makeup, SPF, and impurities while nourishing the skin. Its rich, spa-like texture made every cleanse feel like a luxurious ritual.
EviDenS de Beauté Special Mask
For an overnight hydration boost, this mask worked wonders. Packed with anti-ageing ingredients, it replenished moisture levels and left skin feeling refreshed, plump, and ready for another day on the slopes.
From sun protection to long-lasting colour and nourishing skincare, these beauty essentials ensured our editor looked and felt her best while skiing. If you're heading to the mountains, consider adding these must-haves to your beauty bag!
