Skiing: The Anti-Beauty Treatment
About five minutes into my maiden snowboarding attempt last weekend, my SPF face-and-lip balm flew out of my ski pants. Since I had no idea how to go right or left (only straight down, at much too rapid speed), I had to abandon it in the powdery snow.
Three days later, I'm still feeling the effects: My lips are chapped. My skin is cracked and windburned. My body is also covered in bruises shaped like tree trunks and ski poles.
My three-pronged approach—Blistex Silk & Shine Lip Protectant, Sundari Omega 3 and Amalaki Night Cream, and Dr. Hauschka Ouch! Aid Arnica Compresses—is slowly restoring me to normalcy.
Next time, clearly, I'm taking a lesson. And duct-taping the SPF balm to my forehead. And accepting any other advice—beauty and otherwise—you can give me.
