Achieving soft, plump and radiant skin seems merely impossible in our current weather conditions. The haze nowadays doesn’t only have an affect on our health and well-being but our skin too.
So, if you’re skin is looking a little dull lately… well now you know why.
Air pollution can cause dryness, itchiness, redness and even the formation of fine lines. Yikes!
Pollution particles are 20 to 40 times smaller than our pores making it easy for them to settle in deep inside our skin. Which will visibly damage our skin collagen and elasticity or otherwise known as the protein in the skin.
Everyone wants youthful looking skin, so here’s the solution for you city-dwellers.
What is the best way to protect our skin you might ask? Staying indoors, use an air-purifier or if you really want to take it a step further, then use an Anti-Pollution Skin Care.
Anti-pollution skin care, then, is meant to fight against particulates in the air that damages our skin.
Products that have vitamin C serums (brightening), vitamin D (prevent against premature ageing), vitamin f (helps with dryness).
Brands like Kiehl’s and Drunk Elephant have released products that have claimed to protect the skin against pollutants in the air.
So, it’s time to live your best skin life! Exfoliate, cleanse, drink lots of water and perhaps include products with these vitamins. It’ll be sure to leave your skin looking and feeling 10 years younger
