Throwback to your earliest winter holidays: you may have in mind the moonboots, flashy pink jumpsuit, retro wool sweater and leather-rimmed aviator. You may also recall the rugged face of your ski instructor. His almost-orange complexion, due to over-exposure to the sun rays on the slopes.

Indeed, the intensity of UV rays increases by 10% every 1000 meters in altitude; snow, on the other side, intensifies the UV radiation up to 90%, whereas sand up to 20% and a lawn up to 4%.

Here are your best allies for your next stay on the snowy slopes.

Susanne Kaufmann's solar line, including:

The Sunscreen Protection Facial (SPF30), which combines its patented Elix-IR active ingredient, fighting the infrared rays that produce skin aging, with ectoine, which penetrates the deeper layers and regenerates dead cells.

The Suncream Cell Protection Body Cream (SPF25), whose anti-oxidant ingredients protect and regenerate damaged cells.

The After Sun Gel Moisturizer, ideal for sunburn, with its concentrated anti-irritant active ingredients enriched with aloe vera, which also prolongs the tan.

Joëlle Ciocco's Lotion Hydrogel, on the other hand, will help you to balance the skin’s pH before applying SPF creams as well as to reinforce the sun protection.

You may also try Susanne Kaufmann’s Cold Cream, which provides dry and children's skin with an optimal hydration and protects against rosacea and bad weather.

The ideal cleanser for purifying pores from sunscreen residues? The Crème Emulsionnante by Joëlle Ciocco, to apply in the evening for a double cleansing.

Finally, pure bliss for your hands, Grown Alchemist’s Intensive Hand Cream is instantly absorbed by the skin and the cuticles, without any greasy effect.
