Top skincare tips for your ski break

(24/11/2009)

Despite the chill factor, if you're lucky this year there will be blue skies and sunshine as you glide down the slopes. This intense exposure to the elements means that you need a sunscreen that can block both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) light. While a sun protection factor 15 (SPF 15) is usually sufficient for the British climate, skin experts recommend that you use a much higher factor this winter either on the slopes or in hotter climes.

This winter more people than ever before will be looking for ways to enjoy the ski season. To help keep costs down and increase your après ski fund, it’s worth reviewing your packing essentials such as skincare and making some money-saving adjustments.

Sun protection is an absolute ‘must’ for a winter break. So, you need reliable products that are ‘low on costs and high on protection’. Delph sun care offers a range of high quality products from SPF 8 to 50 with superior UVA (broad spectrum) and UVB protection.

Top skincare tips for your ski break:
• Be extra careful on a cloudy day as UV light bounces off clouds and the snow making you particularly vulnerable – so be sure to apply sunscreen
• Sunscreen should be applied liberally and evenly to all exposed areas – including your neck, ears and lips
• Make sure you apply sunscreen to the parting as well – and wear a hat – if you hair is thin
• Your lips can get cracked and dry in the cold, so keep some lip care handy in your ski jacket such as Lotil Original Lip Care: the creamy formula in this gentle lip salve prevents dryness and protects from the elements 4g (RRP: £1.18)
• Keep a pocket-size handcream such as Lotil Original Cream 30ml (RRP: £1.99) with you at all times to soothe and prevent chapped skin

Delph has been formulated not only to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun, but also to care for even the most sensitive skin. Essential ingredients include palm milk to moisturise and smooth the skin, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to help prolong that ‘healthy glow’ and - in the spray range – Shea Butter and Coconut - to moisturise. Each product is fully medically and dermatologically tested - just one of the reasons why Delph is one of only 5 sunscreens listed on the Drug Tariff. It is also issued to our British Armed Forces.

After-sun care is also an important part of a sun protecting skin regime and the Delph range includes a number of lotions, gels and sprays for you to pamper and rehydrate your skin including unique treatments such as Delph After Sun and Tan Extender and Delph After Sun Gel with Aloe Vera.
