Dull skin and clogged pores are everyone’s nightmare, and with the city's pollution high level, our skin will only get worse. The polluted air makes it difficult for the skin to breathe, causing it to become irritated and dehydrated, aggravating pre-existing conditions such as redness, rosacea, and eczema.
Long-term exposure to pollution has been shown to have a cumulative effect on the skin when combined with UVA and UVB sun damage. This deterioration manifests as fine lines, wrinkles, redness, blotchiness, and aggravated acne. In addition, exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant emitted by car exhaust or power plants, can cause the formation of dark spots on the skin. Here comes the relevance of adopting the use of natural skincare products.
1. Hydrate
Drink plenty of water; you can detox water at home with amla or Tulsi leaves to help flush out toxins and provide antioxidants.
2. Protect the skin
Apply sunscreen or follow a skincare regimen, a serum, or daily moisturizer to create layers of protection on top because it protects the skin from UV-induced damage and traps smog particles, preventing these harmful chemicals from penetrating deep into the skin. To remove dirt from your face, wash it with cold water and a non-exfoliating face wash.
3. Scrub daily
Scrubbing for 10 seconds every day helps your skin recover and heal from the negative effects of pollution. Take some walnuts and grind them into a coarse paste to make a scrub at home. Scrub your face gently for 10 seconds with some sugar and a few drops of olive oil. You can also make sugar, honey, and lemon home scrub and use it twice a week.
Pollution creates a chemical layer that causes inflammation. So, cleansing in the morning and at night is essential for good skin care. Cleanse, double cleanse, or even triple cleanse, if necessary, particularly at night, to remove pollution residue from the skin. Once you are done cleaning up the dirt from your face, start using anti pollution face cream daily.
4. Use face packs
You can also rub a raw green papaya slice on your skin for 20 seconds. The natural enzymes in papaya aid in the removal of facial blackness. A chocolate face pack is an excellent way to combat the negative effects of pollution. Its antioxidant content protects against free radicals, detoxifies the skin, and provides deep nourishment and a healthy glow.
5. Bathe it out
You can also steam your skin once a week after massaging it with almond or coconut oil. Add a few drops of lavender or orange oil to your hot steam water for a hint of rejuvenation. Give yourself a warm coconut oil massage before bathing, and then enjoy a warm water shower.
6. Cleanse well
Combine yogurt, lemon juice, and honey in a mixing bowl. Apply in circular motions to the face for deep cleansing and to reverse the damage caused by pollutants. Make a mask at home by soaking cotton pads in milk and rose water, then placing them in a zip lock bag and refrigerating.
Apply it to a clean face and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. Green tea or rose water can also be used to make ice cubes. Roll it in cucumber juice to help relax and refresh your face from pollution. It is important to apply daily moisturizing face cream to give a soothing effect to your skin and protect it from pollution.
7. Moisturize your skin
As previously stated, pollution causes dark and dull skin. As a result, moisturizers are recommended to nourish the skin. For deep skin nourishment, apply cocoa butter paste twice a week. Olive oil is also high in vitamin E and antioxidants, which promote cell regeneration and help to reduce the appearance of damage.
Wrapping Up
A good antioxidant-rich serum, mist, or night recovery cream could help to repair the skin's damage. Look for a face wash that can cleanse the skin, de-grease it, and unclog pores while also repairing the skin's barrier. To protect your skin from pollution it is always advisable to apply anti pollution sunscreen on your face and other exposed areas of your body.
A good sunscreen protects against the ultraviolet and infrared radiation emitted by laptops and phones. It is critical to use a night cream containing retinol to combat the extrinsic aging changes on the skin.
