Wind-Burn and Sun-Burn: Post-Everest Skin Care

Healing Your Face After the Mount Everest summit Air

The Himalayan Face

The combination of intense UV and freezing wind near the Mount Everest summit leaves every explorer with 'Himalayan face'. Recovering your skin health is an essential part of post-expedition wellness after Everest trekking.

Repairing the Moisture Barrier

High-altitude air strips the natural oils from your skin. Once you return from your Mount Everest expedition, use thick, ceramide-rich creams to seal in moisture and heal the cracking caused by the dry Everest trekking environment.

Applying soothing aloe vera cream to the face
Treating Hyperpigmentation

Even with sunblock, the radiation near the Mount Everest summit often causes dark spots. Vitamin C serums and gentle exfoliation back at sea level can help restore your skin's tone after the expedition.

Soothing Wind-Burn

Wind-burn is essentially a friction injury. Aloe vera and cooling masks provide immediate relief for the redness and sensitivity that follows the long walk back from Everest Base Camp.

Glow with Success

Your 'summit glow' often includes a bit of damage. Take the time to nurse your skin back to health as you celebrate your successful Mount Everest expedition.
