The effects are real: clogged pores, dullness, breakouts, irritation, and faster ageing from free-radical damage.
How pollution harms skin
- Particulate matter settles into pores → congestion and breakouts.
- Free radicals from pollution break down collagen → dullness and premature lines.
- Barrier stress → sensitivity and uneven tone.
The anti-pollution routine
1. Cleanse properly at night — the most important step. A gentle cleanser (or double cleanse if you wore sunscreen/makeup) removes the day’s grime. Don’t over-scrub.
2. Antioxidants by day — vitamin C neutralizes pollution free radicals.
3. Strengthen the barrier — niacinamide + ceramides keep pollutants out.
4. Sunscreen every day — UV + pollution together accelerate damage. (See BD weather guide.)
5. Hydrate — hyaluronic acid supports a resilient barrier.
Don’t overdo it
Pollution doesn’t mean you should harshly scrub or over-cleanse — that damages the barrier and makes things worse. Gentle, consistent care wins. (For breakouts from congestion, see the acne guide.)
