5 Habits for Happy Mountain Skin

By Mountain Glo

Mountain skin is its own thing. The dry air, the wind, the elevation — it all adds up. Here's what we tell every client who walks through our doors.

01

Hydrate From the Inside Out

Aim for half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Add electrolytes if you're skiing, hiking, or sweating. Your skin barrier will thank you.

02

Layer a Hydrating Serum Under SPF

A hyaluronic acid serum locks in moisture before your sunscreen seals the deal. This combo is a Colorado essential.

Healthy skin is built in routines, not in panic Sephora orders.

03

Don't Skip SPF in Winter

Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays straight back at your face. Daily SPF — yes, December too.

04

Sleep With a Humidifier

Indoor heat at altitude is brutal. A bedside humidifier is the cheapest skincare upgrade you'll ever make.

05

Book Regular Facials

A monthly facial keeps your skin balanced, helps your homecare work harder, and gives you an hour of pure mountain stillness. Self-care that pays you back.
