You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine as skiing in sub-zero temperatures under harsh cold winds needs special care.
Sara Hector:
Well, thank you! Actually I don’t do anything regarding my skin, either I’m lucky or that is maybe the recipe to nice skin and regarding the hair, I could really do more though. It’s not so easy keeping it in good shape while skiing so often. But when skiing having it in a braid is a good start and for sure washing quite often with all the trainings and so.
Namita Nayyar:

Tell us a day in the life of ‘Sara Hector’.
Sara Hector:
While skiing I’m normally waking up early and I’ll be training in the slope until lunchtime. Afternoons include more training, less often skiing though and working with something, watching video from training and analyzing that. When I’m done with that sometimes I have time with a therapist. Dinner and sleep.
When I’m not on snow my days are not the other ones alike! Sometimes only training all days, sometimes meeting or activities with sponsors, spending time with family and friends. I have together with my boyfriend been building a house, have done a lot of school (2 bachelors), moved to a new country.
I live in Austria now, so I’m busy trying to find out my new normal life! I still have collaborations with Swedish company and whenever I’m in Sweden without ski federation I’m also busy working with that. So a fun life I would say! It at least I’m happy with it.
Namita Nayyar:
During the Covid pandemic what was your fitness routine to remain fit in those challenging times?
Sara Hector:
I was able to go to a gym at almost all time. BUT I when I´m without a gym there is just so many things I do instead; jumping, coordination, running, and different exercises like pistols or push-ups, chin and so on.Strength with your own body is sometimes easy to underestimate the quality of! You just need some creativity!
Namita Nayyar:
Quote you live by.
Sara Hector:
It’s in the attitude, meaning: The results we get and how we will perceive situations and maybe also setbacks it’s all in our attitude and the power of changing things for the better is all within our reach! So if we start by focusing on our attitude we have made a very good step!
