Olympic Skin Tips

The vacation travel skin care suggestions are not only for an excursion to an island. If you are making plans to head to the slopes this Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukah, take the advice from Olympic Skier, Julia Mancuso on safeguarding the skin this winter.

Mancuso, who hails from a family of dermatologists, is passionate about increasing skin cancer knowledge. She's joined the American Academy Of Dermatology Place Skin Cancer Campaign to support people to identify and stop skin cancer, ideal recommendations for vacation vacation.

I'm passionate about raising awareness of skin cancer because my aunt and grandfather are dermatologists. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother instilled in me the significance of protecting my skin in sunlight. I follow that advice to this day -- on the pile or away.

Julia Mancuso, pro skier and three time Olympic medalist, will be the American Academy of Dermatology's SPOTlighter, promoting the Spot Skin Cancer motivation, because so many who venture out side during the cold temperatures are unacquainted with sunlight's hazard presented in the snow at higher elevations. Julia offers skin care suggestions to the following vacation travel for safeguarding the skin while on the slopes.

Put sunblock on a quarter hour before going outside as it will take time for you are the skin to absorb the sunblock and start guarding you.

When choosing a sunblock, choose something that has an SPF 30 or higher with broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection to stop skin cancer and wrinkles..

Make sunscreen part of the ski equipment carrier so you always have sunscreen with you.

Do not neglect your nose. I usually protect my nose and wear zinc oxide to protect against sunburn.

Discover a time during the time you're in the inclines to reapply sunscreen every few hours because sunscreen wears off. I reapply every time that I move into the hostel.

To make sure you won't ever forget to protect your skin, start your day with an everyday moisturizer with sunblock in it."

Use goggles or shades with UVA/UVB protection to protect your eyes.

Because UV rays are somewhat more powerful in a greater elevation and rays reflect off the snow, wear a mask or bandana to protect your face in sunlight. Doing this further helps prevent a terrible goggle line.

Put on a cap. I love my trucker hats, which help protect my face in sunlight, when I'm not wearing my helmet on the inclines.
