    nutritionally eggs and vitamin C are supposed to help, as well as no soap, lots of warm water to wash your face, and daily or more often moisturizers with vitamin E and jojoba oil.

    Plus sun screen, sun screen, sun screen.

    I haven't figured this one out properly..because Calgary has alot more sunny days than Vancouver (or Toronto).

    And to me, the sun is powerful enough with less humidity in the air.

    My habits and tendency have always preferred greatly to do most of my riding in early morning...which coincides with a weaker sun. I do not want to weaken my skin by using facial peels.

    Sunblock that I use tends to dry out my skin...which it was in VAncouver. Now here, I truly wonder since the air is even drier. Women do complain more here about the dryness of their skin.

    Just to give you an idea: I'm moving into a place with laminate wood flooring. I was told I must have the humidifier on..or else the floors will dry up. Foreign to me when in Toronto one had to use a dehumidier to suck out the moisture in air.

    I've been putting Bag Balm on the exposed parts of my face when I go skiing. Underneath 1-2 facemasks/balaclavas. Between cold temps, dry air, and wind, so far I think I've managed to avoid any major skin damage.
