Sundance Sightseeing

As the 2016 Sundance Film Festival draws to a close, we are getting an insider’s account of the festivities from one of our own, PaperCity account executive Samantha Olguin. She hopped on a plane to Park City for a quick trip filled with skiing and sightseeing and, of course, let us know what clothing, accessory and skincare essentials she brought with her for the weekend.

These are my skincare musts for mountain weather:
