Wear snow gear and protect your hands
It goes without saying that if you are going to the snow it is important that you use winter clothing that protects you from the cold and snowsuch as gloves, hats and scarves. Make sure the clothing is not too tight, as it can hinder blood circulation and make your hands and face feel cold and dry.

After all, as we told you, snow reflects sunlight and you can get burned. That is why it is important that you have your whole body protected with clothing.
