3 Ways to Protect your Skin from Pollution

We all know of the effects that too much sunshine or junk food can have on our complexion; think wrinkles, age spots, and sagging skin. However, air pollution is another huge contributor to prematurely ageing skin. There’s no getting away from it, and air pollution may be unnoticeable in the air. However, there have been countless studies showing that pollution is one of the leading causes of premature ageing, increased skin sensitivity, and lack of radiance. Find below our top 3 ways to protect your skin from pollution.

Always Cleanse
It can be tempting to go straight to bed on certain late evenings without washing your face first. However, if you’ve been out all day, the air’s pollution particles will undoubtedly be glued to your skin. Cleansing your face and neck every day and night is the best and most important way to remove dirt and environmental toxins from your skin. It’s also the most effective way to protect your skin. If you want to go a step further, opt for a double cleansing routine in the evenings. Using this Essentials, Deep Cleansing Foam to remove makeup and surface dirt is a great first step. Follow with soaking a cotton pad with the Nivea, Micellar Rose Water to ensure hydration and to remove any remaining dirt. Also, once a week, use an exfoliator to give your skin an extra deep clean. Try this Infinity Naturals, Purifying Facial Scrub with Menthol Crystal.

Protect your Skin’s Barrier
To protect your skin, it’s crucial to use products that will protect and nourish and create a protective barrier that will prevent toxins from penetrating your skin. Areas that are more heavily polluted will result in skin that is dehydrated. Implementing hydrating creams and products with hyaluronic acid into your routine will help restore your skin’s moisture levels whilst you sleep. This Nut Botanicals, Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Face Cream will hydrate your skin and plump and brighten your complexion. Also, during the day, use an antioxidant serum that includes Vitamin C. These ingredients have the ability to counteract the damage caused by pollution. The Natavis, Vitamin C Serum, is one of the best serums to help combat environmental stressors.

Watch your Diet
It’s not just what you put on your skin that will help, but also being mindful of what you eat can also help. Opt for foods that are high in antioxidants such as oranges, apricots, and spinach. The vitamins included in these foods will help create a barrier on your skin and prevent excess damage.
