Skin protector for cold sensitive skin

I'm going to a very cold place and my previous experience of -23c is that my face ans legs will dehydrate rapidly. Even through jeans and tights my legs were itchy sore chapped. My face gets redd and very sore and painful too.

The one facial I had the therapist said it sounds like an impaired barrier.

I moisturise everyday and will take HC with me but is there a product for my face that will improve the barriers.

I'm on budget - up to £20.
No crème de la met for me pls.

It won't be that cold but as low as -10c

Hopeful bump for those not out and about on a drizzly Saturday in January!

La Roche-posay (sp) cicaplast is recommended often on here.

I just use either E45/vaseline, or lots of sun cream if it is also sunny and cold (ie up a ski hill).

Otherwise, we always used sudocream on DS’s skin when we lived in Canada! Worked a treat.

Apart from an Spf50, tbh, whatever moisturizer you usually use. It's the SPF that's going to help, though maybe a richer moisturizer. I'm using Astral right now. Nowt fancy in my house.

I'd take a Cica cream in case your skin gets irritated, I always have the LRP with me, but it's not a great moisturizer, it's a soother for inflamed and irritated skin.

This is great

I have some avene cicalfate. So will take that

Usual moisturiser and spf don't cut it!

Im going to have a look at there and pick one.

Also weleda skin food is really rich. Vaseline as an extra top layer.
