Pollution, overtime can ruin our skin barrier, can breakdown collagen and more! Overtime pollution can cause skin sensitivities, dryness (from dehydration) and tone/dullness issues.
The world is changing glossies, and the time is now to start protecting our skin from the effects of pollution.
Here are my five top tips to overcome this;1 - apply SPF every morning.2 - use a face mist throughout the day3 - look for anti-ageing products.4 - add anti-oxidants into your skincare.5 - double cleanse on an evening.
Apply SPF Every Morning
Regardless if the sun is out, SPF should be applied. Each day you want to apply about a 10p size amount of SPF on your face. You want to apply it evenly and make sure you rub it all in. Make sure this is the last step before you apply your daily moisturiser. Glossies, don’t apply after as moisturiser can affect how your skin absorbs all the benefits of SPF.The Ultrasun SPF 50+ Anti-Pollution Face Fluid is a non greasy sun cream infused with Glycofilm® Pollustop® to help prevent skin damage caused by everyday pollution. This replenishes moisture, it's anti-ageing and SulforaWhite helps skin look brighter!
Use a Face Mist Throughout The Day
Face mists should be used throughout your day to blast your complexion with hydration hydrate and keep your face fresh! Use in the morning as part of your skincare routine to wake skin up, a quick pick-me-up midday and to lock in moisture before you go to bed. Face mists are super beneficial when your skin is exposed to high-stress environments, what we call pollution. For example a hot, humid area, an airplane or a beach.The Fresh Vitamin Nectar Antioxidant Face Misthelps to restore and prevent skin from the damaging effects of environmental aggressors. This brightens dull skin, adds a shield to your skin barrier and is infused with anti-oxidants.
Look For Anti-Ageing Products.
Air pollution particles are present everywhere. Not just outside, they can also be in your home. These particles are super tiny and small enough to enter your skin. Glossies these can cause or heighten dark spots, enhance or create fine lines/wrinkles. So using anti-ageing products in your skincare/makeup is a must!
Formulated with anti ageing ingredients the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer has coloured pigments, that visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark spots, as well as hydrating goji berry extracts, this concealer makes your eyes look brighter. Plus, it boasts a handy sponge tip that allows you to easily blend in your makeup. A flawless finish awaits.
Add Anti-Oxidants Into Your Skincare.
You can find antioxidants not only in your food but your skincare too! Antioxidants help reduce the negative effects of air pollution by reducing stress to your skin, inflammation, uneven skin tone and more!
I love a toner glossies, especially one with hydrating properties, this Fresh Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Essence encourages luminous, balanced-looking skin. This treatment is filled to the brim with antioxidants to work to protect against pollutants, UV rays and blue light. With added artemisia flower extract to improve the look of your skins tone – which gets affected by daily pollution.
Double Cleanse On An Evening.
Glossies promise me that you will also double cleanse during your evening skincare routine. One rinse of your complexion is not enough to remove makeup, impurities and dirt. Your first cleanse will lift your makeup from your skin, however the second cleanse will give you a deeper clean, remove dirt and makeup from your pores.
