Living in heavily polluted areas such as London, you are likely to be encountering high air pollution as a daily occurrence. Air pollutants can affect your skin more than you may initially think. External aggressors can weaken the skin and can then cause premature ageing as well as other effects. In recent years there has been a significant increase in pollution-battling products due to the rise of pollution levels. Your skin is very susceptible to its environment, which is why it is vital to protect your skin. So, it’s now time to act and protect your complexion. Here are some shielding products that can help.
