Q1. What is anti pollution skincare?

Anti pollution skincare refers to routines and products specifically designed to protect your skin from environmental stressors like dust, smoke, and harmful gases. These products help prevent oxidative stress, support barrier repair, and reduce the effects of daily pollution exposure.

Q2. Why do I need anti pollution skincare if I already use sunscreen?

Sunscreen protects against UV rays, but pollution particles can penetrate the skin and cause inflammation and ageing. Anti pollution skincare adds a layer of antioxidant and barrier-focused protection that sunscreen alone can’t offer.

Q3. What are the best ingredients for anti pollution skincare?

Key ingredients include Vitamin C, niacinamide, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and licorice root. These target oxidative stress, restore hydration, and fortify the skin barrier.

Q4. Can I use anti pollution skincare if I have sensitive skin?

Yes. There are gentle, fragrance-free anti pollution skincare options specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Look for products with soothing botanicals like chamomile and aloe vera.

Q5. How do I know if pollution is affecting my skin?

Signs include dullness, rough texture, uneven skin tone, breakouts, redness, or increased sensitivity. If you notice these symptoms, it’s time to adjust your skincare routine.
