FAQ

How does pollution actually damage skin?

Environmental pollutants – particulate matter, traffic fumes and UV radiation – generate free radicals that break down collagen, cause inflammation and accelerate visible ageing. These particles are small enough to penetrate the outer skin layers. Over time, unprotected skin shows the effects: dullness, uneven tone, premature fine lines and a weakened barrier.

What ingredients protect skin from environmental pollution?

Antioxidants neutralise the free radicals pollution generates before they damage skin. Prickly Pear and Camellia Oil are particularly rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids that reinforce the barrier and provide antioxidant protection. Beta-Glucan actively supports barrier repair after daily environmental exposure. The stronger the barrier, the less damage gets through.

What is the skin barrier and why does it matter?

The skin barrier is the outermost skin layer that controls what gets in and what stays out. A compromised barrier lets pollutants and irritants penetrate more easily – accelerating ageing and sensitivity. Barrier-strengthening ingredients like Camellia Oil, Prickly Pear and Beta-Glucan reinforce this layer, making skin more resilient to everything it faces daily.

Do I need anti-pollution skincare if I don't live in a city?

Yes – indoor pollution is just as damaging. Cooking fumes, cleaning products, dust and VOCs from furniture generate free radicals that affect skin indoors. UV exposure causes environmental skin damage regardless of location. Antioxidant-rich and barrier-strengthening skincare benefits all skin types and environments – not just city skin.

When in my routine should I use anti-pollution skincare?

Morning application creates antioxidant protection before environmental exposure begins. Evening application repairs the damage accumulated throughout the day. A targeted mask two to three times a week delivers concentrated barrier repair. Consistent daily skincare – even lightweight – does more to protect skin than occasional intensive treatments alone.
