The national capital of India, Delhi, has been recording an AQI of 269 or less for sometime now. Several regions in New Delhi are covered in a layer of toxic smog. In such situations, it is essential to protect your skin from pollutants. Lack of protection and overexposure can lead to irritation and other problems related to your skin health. Hence, here are a few tips you can follow to keep your skin healthy in this toxic air pollution.
Gentle cleanser
You must start your day with a mild, sulfate-free face wash twice a day to remove soot and dust without stripping your skin's natural oils. It cleanses the skin effectively without stripping its natural moisture barrier, which helps to prevent dryness, irritation, and redness

Protective Serum
A protective serum is significant in both skincare and haircare for forming a barrier against damage from environmental aggressors, heat styling, and pollutants. Antioxidant serums with vitamin C, niacinamide, or green tea help neutralise free radicals from pollution.

Moisturise, don't skip it!
Pollution dehydrates your skin. Moisturiser can keep your skin hydrated and plump, prevent dryness and flaking, and reduce the signs of ageing by improving elasticity and smoothing the skin's texture.

SPFs are necessary
SPFs are important because they protect your skin against sun damage, including sunburn and premature ageing. Even under smog or indoors, UV and infrared rays damage skin. You can apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.

Soothing your skin
