Slide Nr 8Supergoop! PLAY SPF Protection – Muscle soreness from lack of training aside, skin irritation – from chapped, sun-damaged or windburned skin – can be one of the most frustrating issues on a mountain vacation. Take a second to apply and reapply SPF lotion and a sun-protective lip balm as needed to shield your face from elements. (Yes, you may be wearing a mask this ski season, however, there will be times when your lips will still be exposed such as while drinking water, having lunch or escaping to rest or relax alone outdoors.) The PLAY line by Supergoop! is a good choice for moisturising, nourishing and protecting your lips and face, with safe, long-lasting formulas free of nanoparticles, parabens, palm oil, phthalates, sulfites, sulfates and synthetic fragrances.
