Hello, I'm looking for your tried and tested suncream for being in the mountains.

I just use a standard factor 50 face cream. Soltan Sensitive I think it was this year.

La Roche posay. Also highly recommend Avenue Tolerance cream as a post ski moisturiser. Not particularly cheap (both around £16 but often have offers at Boots) but really good and non-irritating. For the DC I just use standard Nivea 50.

I use PizBuin Mountain - I've wondered whether its actually much different from any other factor 50 but it's part of my "exciting things to make sure I have" skiing prep which I have just been sorting out!

Altruist - available on Amazon

I know exactly what you mean. We've not been skiing for 3 years so super excited.
I've looked at this one and it's got good reviews. Thanks

5 years for me but I have no memory of it due to memory loss (another story.) In my head it's been 10 years. To say I'm excited is an understatement Smile.

Piz Buin mountain or manbi come in those handy pocket size with lip balm attached. Great for the pocket of your ski jacket!

As it's forecast to be super sunny next week we have Piz Buin for us all to apply in the morning then a couple of Aldi small tubes of kids factor 50
that we used and really liked last year for pockets so we all have a tube of suncream and a lip balm. Ds and I should probably reapply mid morning though I doubt he (11) will but lessons are only 9-12 so should be ok
