When the long, dark winter days start weighing heavily on our hearts, those of us with a sporty bent dream of trading the rat race for the ski slopes. But the rest of us would happily content themselves with soaking up a little sunshine outside a pretty alpine chalet. If you’ve managed to make your dreams come true and are packing for a well earned break on top of the world, you’d best remember that tanning at high altitudes is quite different to tanning at the beach. The further you are above sea level, the more concentrated the UVA/UVB and Infrared radiation – and the more dangerous. At altitudes of 1000 meters or more the air is dryer so your skin needs more effective hydration. Here’s how you can tan safely. You need to use a physical sunscreen offering increased protection, like Sun Lotion Medium Protection 25SPF or, for particularly sensitive skin, a sunblock that can also be used for the tender skin of children: Sun Lotion High Protection 50SPF. At night, give yourself a special treatment with a Regenerating Anti-Ageing After-Sun Face Cream is perfect because it hydrates and nourishes while it soothes reddened skin and minimizes any damage that might be caused by over-exposure to the sun. Now you’re set to get a gorgeous glowing tan that will be the envy of your girlfriends – but better still, it will be a totally safe tan! Fore more advice on how to improve your wellbeing… click here
