Why is anti-pollution skincare so important?
If you didn’t already know about the existence of “anti-pollution skincare”, let this blog post be your sign to finally add it to your routine
The anti-pollution skincare trend first started in Asia, primarily in China and Korea where rising levels of pollution in busy cities were becoming a concern.
In recent years, with more people becoming aware of the effects of climate change, more western and international beauty brands have been starting to sport labels like ‘anti-pollution’ and ‘environmental protection’.
But is this just another trend or buzzword?
Let us break down the importance of anti-pollution skincare, and here’s why we think it’s here to stay.
What is anti-pollution skincare?
- Contains antioxidants or skin-barrier restoring ingredients
- Protect the skin and minimises damage from environmental aggressors
Pollutants cause a rise of free radicals on our skin.
As our skin is exposed to pollution over time, our skin barrier may no longer be able to defend against the increasing levels of free radicals, which leads to oxidative stress.
This oxidative stress creates lots of skin problems, such as inflammation, skin ageing, breakouts, and a dull complexion.
Benefits of anti-pollution skincare:
- Minimises damage from environmental aggressors
- Helps to reduce inflammation and stress on skin
- Reduces clogged pores and breakouts
- Promotes skin recovery & healing
- Slows skin ageing
