How to Protect Your Skin from Pollution

Cleansing

Use a gentle cleanser morning and night to remove pollutants, dirt, and impurities that accumulate on the skin's surface.

Double Cleansing

Consider double cleansing with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser to ensure thorough removal of pollutants.

Antioxidants

Apply serums or moisturizers rich in antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, or niacinamide to neutralize free radicals caused by pollution.

Barrier Protection

Use a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to strengthen the skin's barrier, reducing the penetration of pollutants.

SPF

Wear sunscreen daily to protect against UV rays, which can exacerbate the effects of pollution on the skin.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, which helps maintain its natural protective barrier.

Avoid Touching

Minimize touching your face throughout the day to reduce transferring pollutants from your hands.

Humidifier

Use a humidifier to maintain optimal indoor humidity levels, preventing dryness and helping to keep the skin barrier intact.
