Our skin is exposed to several external aggressions on a daily basis: UV rays, stress, pollution… Discover our tips and tricks to get a real breath of fresh air and STOP pollution before it gets to your skin!
Is pollution visible on your skin? Put a STOP to it!
Our daily lives overexpose us to stress factors like pollution, which accelerate skin aging! How? Natural aging is an unavoidable physiological process. The "youthfulness" of our genetic makeup is largely defined from birth but our lifestyles, habits and immediate environment are skin aging accelerators that increase tenfold the harmful effects of time on our organism, and more particularly on our skin.
For example, the pollution you see on the cotton pad you used during your nightly facial cleansing routine prevents skin from breathing properly. Therefore, it is essential to repair damages to your skin and to protect it in order for it to stay radiant!
