There are plenty of studies● that have linked pollution to skin conditions like hives, acne, premature ageing, and eczema. Adding even one anti-pollution product to your skincare routine will help you battle those external aggressors.
What is anti-pollution skincare?
In a nutshell, anti-pollution skincare acts as a barrier against pollutants ’ almost in the same way sunscreen protects against UV rays!
Anti-pollution skincare can come in different forms, from a mist shield to a gel-primer, and more commonly, in mask form. Anti-pollution face masks, like the Madara Smart Anti-Pollution Repair Mask, helps to remove the pollutants from your skin after you’ve been exposed.
How does anti-pollution skincare work?
Just like sunscreen, it’s a product you need to use daily for maximum effectiveness. Different skin care ingredients are used to help protect your skin, and here are some common ones:
™ Pre-and-probiotics help build the skin’s natural defences & form a barrier against pollution
™ Ganoderma mushroom extract helps reduce inflammation and detoxify the skin
™ Buddleja flower and echinacea extracts contain cell resilience boosting proteins
™ Vitamin C can lighten and combat dark spots linked to pollution
