Avoiding Increased Skin Problems At High Altitude

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


It doesn't matter if you are 10, a teen, or a parent, the snow and the mountains are fun for the entire family. The natural settings seem to instantly reenergize even the weariest of souls, while the slopes keep the kids (and grown-ups) entertained for hours.
The only downside is the damaging effect that high altitude can have on our skin. In order to protect against it we need to be informed of the effects the differing climate can have on our skin as well as the remedies available to us. So if you're taking a trip soon, the following is for you.
UNDERSTANDING THE ELEMENTS
Altitude has a heavy bearing on its surrounding environment. When in high altitude areas the moisture, humidity, air pressure, and oxygen levels are drastically less. This creates an excessively dry climate that is likely to experience a greater degree of variance between day and night temperatures as compared to low altitude areas.
YOUR SKIN IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS
The extremities of these harsh conditions also have an extremely exaggerated effect on your skin. The most telling of these include the drastically increased risk of sunburn, premature aging, and melanomas due to the stronger presence of UV rays and free radicals in the thinned atmosphere.
Also as a result of the air is usually totally devoid of any form of moisture, there is a markedly increased likelihood of experiencing dry, irritated skin, facial redness, and eczema.
It can generally be factored in that during a holiday in the mountains there will be increased levels of drinking, partying, unhealthy eating, and profuse sweating from a day on the slopes. This all forms part of the life in a ski resort but it is severely influential in both drying and irritating the skin.
NEVER LEAVE HOME WITH YOUR NATURAL SKIN CARE BALMS
If you want to keep your skin looking vibrant and full of moisture and elasticity it is important to bring with you a natural, nourishing lotion or balm on your trip. Natural lotions and balms absorb quicker, and rehydrating without causing horrible irritations unlike many of the chemical based products found on the shelf.
