The following holiday journey skin care tips aren't only for an excursion to an island. In case you are making plans to head to the slopes this Thanksgiving, Xmas or Hanukah, take the advice from Olympic Skier, Julia Mancuso on guarding your skin this winter.
Mancuso, who hails from the family of dermatologists, is passionate about raising skin cancer awareness. She's joined the AAD Spot Skin Cancer Campaign to encourage people to prevent and detect skin cancer, ideal suggestions for holiday travel.
I am passionate about increasing consciousness of skin cancer because my cousin and grandpa are dermatologists. Ever since I was just a little girl, my mother instilled in me the significance of protecting my skin from the sun. I follow that advice even today -- on the hill or away.
Julia Mancuso, pro-skier and three time Olympic medalist, will be the American Academy of Dermatology's SPOTlighter, encouraging the Location Skin Cancer motivation, because so many who venture out side during the cold temperatures are unaware of the sun's hazard presented from the snow at higher elevations. Julia provides skin care tips to the following holiday journey for protecting the skin while on the slopes.
Put sunblock on a quarter hour prior to going outside as it will take time for you're your skin to absorb the sunblock and start guarding you.
When choosing a sunscreen, choose something that features an SPF 30 or better with broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection to prevent skin cancer and wrinkles..
Make sunscreen a part of the ski equipment bag so that you always have sunscreen with you.
Don't neglect your nose. I regularly protect my nose and wear zinc oxide to protect against sunburn.
Because sunscreen wears off during the time you're on the slopes to reapply sunscreen every few hours find a time. I reapply each time I move to the hostel.
To ensure you can't forget to protect the skin, start your day with an everyday moisturizer with sunblock within it."
Use goggles or shades with UVA/UVB protection to protect your eyes.
Because UV rays are more strong in a greater altitude and rays reflect off the snow, wear a mask or bandana to protect your-face from the sun. This also helps prevent a terrible goggle line.
Put on a hat. When I am not wearing my headgear on the slopes, I enjoy my trucker caps, that really help protect my face from the sun.
