-
Cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove pollutants.
-
Use antioxidants in your skincare routine to neutralize free radicals caused by pollution.
-
Moisturize regularly to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
-
Use physical barriers like hats and scarves to protect your skin from direct exposure to pollution.
-
Consider using a skincare product with pollution-fighting ingredients like niacinamide or vitamin C.
