Anti-pollution skincare saviours

0

From skin cycling to slugging, maintaining healthy skin is serious business! And while we’re sure you’ve probably got your exfoliate, retinol, recovery, and repeat routine down to a science, there’s one external factor you might not have considered: air pollution.

According to the World Health Organisation, air pollution is now considered to be the world’s largest environmental health risk, with levels here in the UK far exceeding the recommended air quality levels needed for a healthy lifestyle.

With harmful toxins being both inhaled and absorbed through the skin, prolonged exposure to air pollutants can wreak havoc not only on our respiratory health but our skin too, causing a range of issues including premature ageing, sensitivity, inflammatory flare-ups, and more! 

Introducing, anti-pollution skincare! These skin saviours protect against pollutants and deeply cleanse the skin using active natural ingredients.

So how exactly does anti-pollution skincare work?

Antioxidant-rich formulas containing Vitamins A, C or E work to protect and defend your skin from free radicals that can form as a result of chemical reactions on the skin which can cause premature ageing and dullness. Other formulas which contain activated charcoal, algae, kelp, or even green tea can help to ‘detox the skin’, drawing out toxins and impurities.

What are the best anti-pollution skincare products for cleansing, protecting, and detoxing?
