What it is
Pollution and skin is a significant but often overlooked link when it comes to skin ageing and damage. Tiny particles from polluted air can penetrate the skin, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and even breakouts. Over time, this contributes to premature ageing, uneven skin tone and weakened skin barrier function.
How it works in skincare
To combat pollution, use antioxidant-rich skincare products such as vitamin C or niacinamide, which neutralise free radicals. Double cleansing at night removes pollutant particles, and applying SPF daily protects against environmental aggressors.
