How pollution harms your skin
Whether you live in an apartment downtown, in the suburbs of a city, or in a small town, chances are you experience some sort of pollution. This pollution can come in the form of car exhaust, dust from construction zones, cigarette smoke, smog, and other noxious substances. How, exactly, do these pollutants harm your skin? By increasing the number of free radicals in your body. These free radicals are molecules that attack your cells, causing them to age and, sometimes, die prematurely. Free radicals hinder your skin cells' ability to produce enough collagen to keep your cells healthy and hydrated.Some skin care tips to protect yourself
Without a good skin care routine to protect yourself from contaminants, your skin can become dry, clogged, and sickly. Here are a few of our favorite skin care tips for dealing with pollution:1. Antioxidants.
One of the best ways to disarm free radicals? Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, which prevent damage to your cells. Antioxidants, especially Vitamins A and C, are found in many fruits and vegetables, including carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, mangoes, spinach, cantaloupe, and kale. The brighter the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more antioxidants are likely present. Another way to get the antioxidants you need? Try our intensive repair and protect serum with vitamin C. This serum is ideal for all skin types, and it is stocked with antioxidants that will fight off those free radicals. Plus, it lightens and brightens your skin, leaving your complexion looking refreshed and ready for the day.2. Wear sunscreen.
Not only will sunscreen protect your skin from damaging pollutants, it will also shield your skin from the harmful rays of the sun, which can cause premature aging, tissue damage, and melanoma. Our Perfectionist 4-in-1 cream is a great skin care product for both moisturizing the skin and protecting it from injurious UV rays.3. Wash your face every day.
Cleansing your skin at the end of every day will prevent a buildup of dirt that clogs the pores, causing breakouts and oily skin. We recommend our basic Purifying Gel Cleanser for Normal/Oily Skin with a little water on a washcloth as a great way to remove impurities, leaving the skin fresh and glowing.4. Stay hydrated.
While this may seem like an obvious tip, it's one that's frequently forgotten! By drinking plenty of fluids during the day, you not only stay hydrated, you also flush toxins out of your system. This keeps both your body and your skin healthy.5. Choose the best skin care products.
When it comes to choosing products for your skin, look for those that contain protective ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E.
