Don’t be fooled; a ski trip isn’t a holiday. It’s an endurance test. Unless you’re an extreme sports fan, skiing is the one vacation where you’ll be testing your body and pushing yourself to your limits.
Whether your Alpine preference be French, German or Italian, your body, hair, and skin will be put through the mill. And with fellow female skiers to impress, you’ll need to look suave on the slopes for the seven days you’re skiing.
So, despite the multitudinous benefits of mountainous air, you could always do with supplementing nature with products. Thus, we are on hand to ensure that you don’t end up resembling a rough skinned shadow of your former self. Follow these grooming tips, and you will leave the slopes the smooth and suave gentleman as you were when you arrived.
Let’s start with the basics. You’re not going to impress a mystery woman – who’s come along as a ‘friend of a friend’ – if you are stiff, sore, and hobbling around during après ski. Before the evening revelry begins in your chalet, indulge in a soothing and restorative bath soak to keep your skin supple and your psyche relaxed.
After a day of snow ploughs, reheat your body and feel invigorated and ready to mingle with these stimulating body washes.
No matter your facial skin tone, if you hit the slopes on a sunny day unprotected you’ll end up either looking like a burnt Brit in Marbella or leave the trip with myriad wrinkles. These protective creams will ensure you don’t.
You don’t want any dry flyways on your head or in your facial hair. So, with our choice of replenishing and styling hair products, you’ll maintain the hairstyle of a city slicker, whether on the slopes or socialising in the evening, and no-one will ever guess that you have face-planted the slopes more times than you can remember that day.
As you’re in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful views and people, you need to have a fragrance that reflects the experience. So why not channel some 1970s ski chic with Aramis fragrances and deodorants. Pull on your white roll neck and lounge in the delicious ambery tones of this signature skiing scent.
