Beauty Blog » The Sun and Skiing and Snowboarding - Don't Forget the Sunscreen

Ahh… its officially Winter once we get a fresh blanket of powder!

If you are a frequent reader of the Smarter Beauty blog then you might have heard me mention that I am as pale as the driven snow. Not albino or red head pale, but the palest an Asian chick can get without actually being dead.

Since those are the genetic cards God dealt me I was never really into sun bathing or lounging poolside for hours on end. Not my cup of java, however I do love the snow!

The worse sunburn I ever received was on a trip to  Mammoth. Since I know I burn like a match stick in the summer sun I am always very mindful of applying and re-applying sunscreen to the facial. I am unfortunately not as proactive about my sunscreen application via overcast snow situations. Well 3 layers of skin on my nose and a pair of permanent goggle tan lines later - LESSON LEARNED! Never again!

So for you fellow snow bunnies out there, I just wanted to remind you to put the zinc on the nose and layer up on the sunscreen on the facial this snow season.

My top pick is: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen in SPF55

Even for you sun bathers you should try Neutrogena’s sunblock. It is completely non-greasy, feels light and doesn’t alter the color of your complexion. (My mom use to bath me is this sunscreen that made my already pasty toosh even paler, if you can believe it..). Plus it doesn’t smell medicinal, doesn’t bleed into your eyes and blind and burn you. All perks!

Plus its super affordable! —- > $10 bucks
