Frequently Asked Questions About Environmental Protection
What does anti-pollution mean in skincare?
Anti-pollution skincare means that the formula contains ingredients that help to reduce and counteract pollution along with other environmental aggressors such as blue light. Anti-pollution skincare includes vitamin C serums and skincare products and other antioxidants to help create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, neutralize free radical damage, and detoxify the skin.
What is the best way to protect your skin from pollution?
Anti-pollution skincare products are just one way to shield skin from environmental skin stressors. You can also:
- Limit outdoor activities when air quality is poor
- Keep your skin moisturized so your barrier stays intact and healthy
- Wear face sunscreen every day
- Use facial cleansers thoroughly at night to ensure that toxins are removed
Which ingredients protect skin from blue light?
The most effective blue light skin protector is a vitamin C serum. A potent antioxidant, vitamin C shields the skin from the damaging effects of blue light exposure by neutralizing free radicals generated from electronic devices. Its protective properties help maintain the skin's integrity, preventing premature aging, and promoting a healthier complexion. From our anti-aging skin care products, we love combining vitamin C anti-pollution drops with a vitamin C-loaded moisture tint with SPF for the perfect all-around protection.
What is an ideal anti-pollution skincare routine?
Your skin faces daily stressors from pollution, UV rays, and free radicals, so building a skin-first, protective ritual is key. Start each morning with an antioxidant-rich serum and moisturizer, layered under a broad-spectrum SPF, to defend against environmental damage and support skin resilience. In the evening, double cleanse with a gentle yet effective cleanser that’s designed to lift away impurities, makeup, and urban pollutants without disrupting your barrier. Follow with reparative serums and moisturizers powered by skin-boosting actives to neutralize oxidative stress and strengthen your skin overnight.
