IN THE SUN
Stay fit and keep in shape while skiing!
Here are a few practical tips from Pierre Henri Gardette, a physiotherapist and ski instructor, to help you prepare for your season and set off in peace!
A beautifully sunny day often means a good day's skiing, but you must know how to protect yourself. The sun is stronger in the mountains because the sun’s rays are less filtered at altitude and the snow reflects 85% of UV rays.
Your skin and eyes are therefore particularly vulnerable to sun damage.
So before you set off for a good day’s skiing, apply high factor protection cream, not forgetting exposed areas of the body such as the ears.
Reapply your cream at very regular intervals and give maximum protection to your children's skin.
To avoid chafing, also apply suitable cream to your hands and lips. Finally, to protect your eyes, brands like Cébé have developed a range of masks and sunglasses specially adapted to skiing and mountain light.
By using tinted glass, manufacturers can offer solutions for each type of user and use.
