Safeguard your Skin against Pollution this Summer

Protecting your skin against pollution is crucial, especially during the summer months when air quality is often at its worst. 

- DR JAMUNA PAI

Exposure to pollutants can lead to the generation of free radicals on the surface of the skin, which can cause sensitivity, oxidative stress, and a host of skin problems such as pigmentation, premature ageing, and a dull, sallow complexion.

To combat these harmful effects, Dr. Jamuna Pai, a leading cosmetic physician and founder of SkinLab clinics, recommends deep cleansing, sun protection, and the use of ingredients that create a barrier on the skin. Antioxidants are particularly effective in creating a pollution barrier for the skin. These substances protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals, which are responsible for the damage to both our health and our skin. Additionally, antioxidants can significantly reduce the damage caused to the skin due to pollution.
