When the thermometer dips down low, your face will benefit from a gentle cleanser. Being outdoors all day, your skin becomes more sensitive. Treat it gently. Try Simple wipes, which refresh and moisturize your skin gently - plus they remove waterproof mascara. Leave the bottles of makeup remover and toner at home. Simplify and travel light!

Before you hit the slopes, remember that the sun reflects off the snow. At higher altitudes, the UV A and B rays are stronger. Did you know you can actually get sunburned in the middle of winter? The sun's reflection can also dry out your skin and lead to signs of premature aging. That's why you have to ensure your skin is moisturized by applying a high-protection sunscreen even when it's overcast.  

Tips: Apply your sunscreen a half-hour before heading out.
If you expect to spend all day outdoors, reapply every two hours.

Moisturize your lips. The skin on your lips is thinner than on the rest of your body. It lacks the top protective layer and so is more susceptible to dryness. Vaseline Lip Therapy instantly softens and soothes, helping to repair – not just coat – your lip barrier. Available in original, cocoa, rosy and aloe vera.

Protect your hands. When they're in constant contact with water and cold, your hands become fragile and more sensitive to cold. We often forget them, but they need as much care and attention as the skin on your face. They're actually the part of your body most susceptible to winter cold, so protect them with lined gloves or mittens when you head out, and moisturize once or twice a day with a protective lotion, massaging it in well. Hand and Nail Treatment Cream by Clarins forms an invisible protective “glove” that shields hands from the elements, minimizing signs of aging. It softens and comforts dry, chapped, irritated skin.

At the end of the day, slip into a relaxing bath or take a hot invigorating shower with Dove Deep Hydration with NutriumMoisture.  It contains ten times more moisturizers than most department store body washes .

And now for your head! Try Clear Therapy, available as shampoo and conditioner to revitalize your hair. Drink up, shine on! Clear Intense Hydration Shampoo and conditioner are the remedy for dry, damaged hair and are clinically proven to help replenish the scalp with essential 24 hour hydration, making hair resilient to dryness for soft, silky tresses. They contain cactus extract, a known hydrator. 

Time for some hair CPR? Total Care Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner revive lifeless hair to restore the scalp’s natural moisture balance and leave hair more resilient, hydrated and healthy.

If you're feeling like a Martian with antennas going in every direction when you take your tuque off, give your hair a little shock treatment with Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment with African macadamia oil. It absorbs deep into hair, leaving it sublimely silky, not greasy or weighed down.

Indulge your skin and your senses with St. Ives Naturally Indulgent Coconut Milk & Orchid Extract Body Lotion. This non-greasy luxurious lotion delivers hydrating moisture to keep your skin touchably soft and hydrated. Or maybe you prefer Naturally Soothing Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Lotion which will deliver relief from itchy dry skin and intensely hydrate the skin for immediate relief.

Every day, your skin is exposed to damaging environmental factors like extreme temperatures, low humidity, cold and water. Vaseline Intensive Care repair serum lotions with restoring micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly replenish lost moisture and absorb deeply to heal dry skin. Be careful - the fragrance of the yellow bottle is addictive!

Apply a moisturizing and repairing night cream that is richer than your usual one. This applies even more to sensitive and mature skin, which tends to be more delicate.

When it comes to make-up, you don't need to be an expert to know that cold air is a wonderful natural blush, while your lip balm serves as gloss. All you need is a good volumizing mascara and a tinted gloss or moisturizing lipstick once you leave the slopes.

What else? A hairbrush, a comb and accessories, depending on your hair length, deodorant, and if you feel like it, some nail polish (why not white, like the snow?)

Have a great trip!
