Skin Protector Balm | Face and Skin Barrier for Cold, Wind, Dry and Chapped Skin | SPF 23 | The Original Frostbite Fighter, 0.5 oz Tin

Our family has been using this balm for many years when skiing (and for other outdoor activities like ice fishing), and it never disappoints in providing protection from cold and wind, even in severe conditions. We use it all over the face (especially on the cheeks and nose) as well as the earlobes to prevent chapping and frostbite. It goes on a bit greasy (we call it "gooping up"), but it mostly absorbs into the skin fairly quickly, leaving an excellent protective layer that lasts for hours on the slopes. It never leaves any greasy residue on our hats, goggles, gaitors, etc. The container is small but a little goes a long, long way. We think it is well worth the price. Highly recommended!

This stuff is GREAT. I’ve bought it several times and given it to my running buddies. Protects your face on those cold morning runs or XC skiing. Highly recommend

This is perfect for the slopes! My friends and I use it to prevent any wind burn or frostbite issues on your face and hands. Our instructor recommended it and it’s a game changer! It isn’t slimy or leaves a residue that makes a mess on your gear.

Helpful in prolonged exposure

Have used DERMATONE for years of skiing and sailing. Great as lip balm and for putting on Nose/cheeks to prevent sunburn/windburn.

We are Colorado skiers and love to ski in any type of conditions. When it's sunny and the sun is reflected off the snow, sunburn can occur on your face within minutes, so sunscreen is essential. However, when it's below zero and the wind is blowing on the chairlift, your skin is exposed to extreme cold conditions. This is an excellent product because not only is it a sunscreen, but more importantly, it's a great wind screen and keeps your face warm while protecting against frost damage to your skin. We initially bought it at a local ski resort, but couldn't find it at any sports stores. We tried other products, but none are as good as this one! I was so glad that I found it on Amazon. It's small enough to carry in your ski jacket so it's always available while you're skiing. I got one for every skier in the family. Love it!!

Feb 15, 2016: I used this yesterday during a visit to New York City. I've lived in New Jersey for about five years (except for a 6-month gap, I've been living here since 2010); and it was the coldest day I've ever seen. Temperatures in the morning hovered around 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Fahrenheit with wind-chill). I spent over two hours outside; and except for the sting getting through when the wind gusted, I had no problems. Although it leaves a bit of a shine on my face, I consider that a really minor point. This stuff really does work to protect against windburn and frostbite. As far as I'm concerned, it's tried and true. Still highly recommended. Original post: This Dermatone skin protector is great. I tried it out yesterday playing some recreational outdoor sand volleyball at Central Park. It was in the high 30s/low 40s Fahrenheit with occasional gusts of cold wind. This stuff blocked it all out; and I didn't feel any sting from the wind. When I first received it, the tin was smaller than I expected, but I only needed a dab to cover my face (I'm male and have a medium to maybe slightly large head). By the way, it feels like really soft wax and is easy to apply. This stuff beats carrying around a scarf to shield my face; and it even has some sun-protection built in, which is nice (I'm Filipino-American, but I've had mild sunburn in the past). Highly recommended.

Es muy bueno para trabajar afuera al aire libre te protege mucho del sol y el aire, le recomiendo Volvo a comprar cuando se terminó
