The same principles apply to those long hot showers that seem so appealing when you've just come in from the slopes. They may feel soothing but the downside is that too-hot water damages your body's protective oils and contributes to flaky, itchy and broken skin.
Opt for lukewarm or cold water (if you can bear it) and don't stay under the jets for more than 10 minutes. Pat your skin dry, and apply an emollient cream to seal in moisture.
Don't skimp on your tresses either. Using a high-quality shampoo and conditioner will keep them in good condition and a little hair serum will prevent frizziness. It's more important not to neglect your poor exposed hands. Always wear gloves outside and, after washing, treat them with lots of rich hand lotion containing a strong SPF.
The great thing about all this exercise in the fresh mountain air is that it gives your cheeks a natural rosy glow and foundation isn't really necessary. But if you hate the idea of appearing barefaced in public, then opt for a little tinted moisturiser with an SPF.
It's a different story when it comes to apres ski. So treat your skin to a rehydrating face mask before applying cosmetics.
Finally, it's a sure bet that Heidi, Kate and Victoria always take care to never roast themselves in front of a hot fire when they come in from icy cold weather, because that just dries out your skin. The rapid contrast in temperature can also break capillaries, leading to red thread veins, which is not exactly the A-list look you're trying to capture.
