Here are some tips from an Olympic Skier, Julia Mancuso, gives her sun protection tips for the slopes!
- “Put sunscreen on 15 minutes before going outdoors because it takes time for your skin to absorb the sunscreen and start protecting you.”
- “When selecting a sunscreen, choose a product that has an SPF 30 or greater with broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection to prevent skin cancer and wrinkles.”
- “Make sunscreen a part of your ski gear bag so you always have sunscreen with you.”
- “Don’t forget your nose. I always protect my nose and wear zinc oxide to protect against sunburn.”
- “Find a time while you are on the slopes to reapply sunscreen every couple of hours because sunscreen wears off. I reapply every time I go into the lodge.”
- “To make sure you never forget to protect your skin, start your day with a daily moisturizer with sunscreen in it.”
- “Wear goggles or sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection to protect your eyes.”
- “Since UV rays are more powerful at a higher altitude and rays reflect off the snow, wear a mask or bandana to protect your face from the sun. Doing so also helps prevent a wicked goggle line.”
- “Wear a hat. When I am not wearing my helmet on the slopes, I love my trucker hats which help protect my face from the sun.”
