Winter is my favorite time of
the year, and I try to ski as often as I
can—but that requires an arsenal of products to safeguard against the
sometimes harsh realities of the season:
Olay Total Effects CC Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer:
Its magic ingredient,
niacinamide, strengthens the
skin’s barrier
that holds moisture
in. I love the light whipped
texture. Perfect for
weekend coverage. ($22, at drugstores)
Kevyn Aucoin the Volume Mascara: Sure, it makes lashes
superlong, but its smudge-proof formula comes off only with warm water,
so—unless you’re skiing in heated snow—you never get raccoon eyes. ($25,
barneys.com)
Sun Bum Pro SPF 30+ Face Stick: On sunny days
(left), I literally swipe this all over my face. ($15, trustthebum.com)
Darphin Nourishing and Firming Velvet Cream:
It’s got shea butter to moisturize rough patches, but it also contains a
plant extract called menyanthes trifoliata, which helps firm saggy skin.
($55, darphin.com)
Kneipp Spruce & Pine Warmth
& Energy Bath: I
save this
stuff for those extra-cold nights.
($20, kneippus.com)
Kai Conditioner: I actually use
this twice in the
morning. First
in the shower, then again after I dry my hair—I
finger-comb
in a smidge to prevent flyaways.
($34, barneys.com)
Neal’s Yard Remedies Arnica Salve: Another twofer! I
rub
it into my lower back and quads après-ski, and I also use it
before hitting the slopes, since it’s supposed to stimulate circulation
and prep muscles for active duty. ($17, nealsyardremedies.com)
