Do you have friends who like to ski? There is nothing better than a day spent on the slopes. Can you feel the cool air on your face? It feels so good to be alive! Effortlessly you skim the snow and descend with speed. Skillfully you maneuver through uneven and challenging terrain past other skiers moving at another pace.
Even on the chairlift, the day is bright and full of fun. The sun sparkles from the clear blue sky above, and is reflected back from countless crystal facets covering the hillside. This is how the winter was meant to be experienced.
It's hard to remember when it's cold outside, and when you're having so much fun, that the sun can burn your nose or any other skin exposed. Of course you can use a standard sunscreen, but do you know what you're putting on your skin?
The skin drinks up anything that's put on it. PABA found in many sunscreens may block the sun rays, but it's a chemical poison that the liver has to process somehow. Even zinc-based sunscreens have ingredients that your body will absorb and have to deal with. Why give your body chemicals when it's not necessary.
Vaidya Mishra has developed a sunscreen substitute, called Surya Shanti. Instead of containing PABA or other harsh chemicals, this formula actually nourishes the skin and the whole body with the intelligence of herbs used in the traditional Ayurvedic way. Instead of poisoning your skin, you can feed it while you are protecting it from sunlight.
Instead of blocking the sun's rays, Surya Shanti allows the rays to reach the skin, so you get the beneficial properties of sunlight. Surya Shanti protects, not by blocking sun, but by strengthening and balancing the skin itself.
Surya Shanti cream is very cooling so the burning effect of sun is neutralized immediately. You can even put this cream on after your skin is burned and it will take away some of the redness. Of course, putting the cream on before you go out will help prevent burning in the first place.
Also, this cream has a great aroma. Since you're putting it on your nose when you ski or snow board, it's nice to know that you'll enjoy a pleasant aroma throughout the day.
When sunlight heats the skin, the toxins created there travel through the blood to the liver, the heart and all the organs. That's why you can end up feeling cranky at the end of a day in the sun. Put rose drops in your water while you ski and you will help neutralize the heating effect of sunburn.
Rose is especially good for pacifying sadhaka pitta, the pitta in the heart (the one that makes you feel emotionally cranky). When you use rose drops in your water while you ski, you will not only balance the heating effect of the sun on the blood, but you will feel blissful all day long.
Super Sport Transdermal Cream and Body Mist are great for skiing or for any sports you do. They open the channels so that the lactic acid from your muscles can get out of the body instead of sitting in the muscles and causing soreness and stiffness.
Whenever you need to unblock your body's physical channels, Super Sport is a great choice to turn to. If you put it on right after skiing, you will find that you are much less sore the next day.
Also when you use Super Sport to open the channels the heat from inside the body is able to reach the extremities more easily preventing cold hands and feet. Use Super Sport Body Mist on your feet and lower legs before putting your socks on and going out in the cold. The water soluble spray is very fast acting and does not get oil on your clothes.
Use the Super Sport Transdermal Cream when you want a prolonged release. It's great on the feet or muscles before bed.
While Super Sport opens the channels, Sancharan Transdermal Cream and Body Mist specialize in improving circulation. This is important when you are exposed to cold, which shrinks the shrotas (physical channels) in the body, causing circulation to decrease. When circulation is bad, you will have symptoms like cold hands and feet, sluggishness and stiffness.
You will find Sancharan Body Mist is great to use during the day on your lower legs and feet before you put on your socks, or on your hands and arms. The Sancharan Transdermal Cream is good to use at night when you need a prolonged release throughout the night.
The combination of Super Sport and Sancharan will keep you body warm even when you spend the whole day outside having fun.
