Fear not – it’s not quite as dire as it
sounds. There are several simple things
you can do to equalise the effects of
city living on your skin. First up, your
epidermis will thank you every day for
a basic twice-daily skincare routine. Get
skin in tip-top condition by cleansing,
toning and moisturising every morning
before applying makeup (it should go
without saying that falling asleep with
your makeup on is a no-no). Exfoliation
to slough away dead cells and brighten
the complexion can be done at home,
or with micro-dermabrasion or a peel at
a salon to remove surface debris.
Improving the skin’s resistance to
pollution is the name of the game. Use
sun protection and a moisturiser rich
with ingredients to improve the skin’s
surface strength.
Cosmetics are often blamed for
clogging pores, but they can actually
protect against pollution because they
provide a fine layer of resistance; so
don’t steer clear of your makeup bag.
Oh, and keep hand cream in your bag
to soothe chapped hands.
