Which sun cream for skiing?

What SPF should I get? Are there any sun creams specific to skiing or do you get normal sun cream?

Also are there any nice lip balms with SPF in - I don't want to look like an Australian cricketer with white lips!

I used Himaya sun cream when I used to go to high altitude climbing or skiing. It's not the cheapest but is good in that if you sweat it doesn't run into your eyes making them sting. Have to search for it online though. It also goes up to factor 50 if you want a very high factor.

Piz Buin Mountain range is good and won't give you cricketer lips Wink. The face cream comes in a handy shaped tube which fits perfectly in jacket pockets.

I also use Chanel Sun Protection UV Essentiel. It's a really light cream which can be worn under makeup (I only wear tinted moisturiser to prevent me looking like skiing corpse) and is spf50.

Thanks for your replies.

Think will go with Piz Buin, less expensive!
