I don't like itchy dry skin in the fall/winter

I started skiing two winters ago and can't wait to go skiing again this winter but I don't like getting sunburnt on the mountain and getting itchy dry patches of skin. I was introduced to Skin MD's Shielding Lotion a month ago but haven't really been able to properly test it out. The weather has been kind of crazy lately with cold blasts of wind to rainy to warm and humid (gotta love East Coast fall weather!). This lotion smells a little like baby powder mixed with sunscreen, absorbs really fast, and doesn't leave a sticky residue. The idea behind this Shielding lotion is to shield the skin of irritants thus preventing moisture-loss.

According to their website:

Shampoos, antibacterial soaps, cosmetics, fragrances, colorants and other irritants bombard and penetrate the skin. These harsh chemicals and irritants can break down the skin's natural protective ability. Some strip away moisture, while others lodge in the pores where they cause irritation and other negative reactions.

This lotion is dermatologist tested, made in 100% solar powered facility, eco friendly, paraben free, free of animal products and animal testing (read: vegan friendly). I think this is the perfect lotion to take with me when I hit the slopes or ice rink this winter. I just wish they had a smaller travel-sized bottle so I can put it in my pocket.
