Several types of skin issues take place like blemishes, uneven skin tone, acne including skin cancer. Previously, people were not concerned or even aware about pollution. But with progress in time and industrialization, combined with increasing population and traffic, pollution is fast becoming a global menace.

According to the leading dermatologists, pollution is said to break down lipid layer and collagen from the skin, thus impairing crucial skin barrier functions. Pollution also tends to play a significant role in advancing ageing process. With proper and timely skin care routine, it is possible to do away with these issues.

Simple steps to prevent pollution from damaging the skin

  2. Anti-oxidant face mask: Routine face mask helps clear the skin and removes the dirt. Peel off masks can help release embedded toxins in the skin caused by pollution.
  3. Toners: It is used generally to remove make up as well as to balance skin pH levels. A good toner needs to be used after or before cleansing and this depends upon how it is to be done.
