Pop quiz! What do you think is the #1 culprit that causes skin damage?

UV rays?

Smart guess! But you may not be entirely right.

Sabon Ocean Secrets Anti Pollution Skin Concerns

While UV rays are still a top factor for causing damage to our skin, working women in cities who spend most of their time in office environments are affected by another equally damaging skin aggressor: environmental pollutants.

We are talking about the environmental pollutants that we can’t avoid in the city: particulate matter (dirt, smoke, dust, and smoke), heavy metals, infrared radiation, and blue light (emitted by digital devices).

Studies have shown that even with good sun protection, women who work in cities are still suffering from signs of accelerated ageing precisely because they are exposed to these environmental pollutants.

Now that you know environmental pollutants can harm your skin, are you ready to defend yourself against them?

Unfortunately, defending our skin against environmental pollutants requires a conscious effort involving the right skincare routine and a set of skincare products that are designed for anti-pollution.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Avoid environmental pollutants

As much as possible, stay away from places where you know smog is produced (e.g. near factories or busy roads) and smoking areas. Put away your electronic devices like your smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

2. Step up your cleansing routine

It may look like the most basic step – but guess what – it is also the most important step. If you spend a lot of time massaging serum into your skin but don’t care as much about cleansing, you shouldn’t be surprised about clogging in your skin.

Make sure your makeup is thoroughly cleansed first thing when you get home, and remember to double cleanse – that means to cleanse again with a foam cleanser after the makeup remover. Spend time foaming up the cleanser and massaging it all over your face to make sure you don’t miss a single spot.

3. Invest in anti-pollution skincare products

You may have a series of products that treat specific concerns, such as improving the appearance of dull skin, wrinkles, or to help your skin be more hydrated. There’s nothing wrong with this, but you have to understand that you may not necessarily be treating the problem at its roots.

Your skin problems may be caused or aggravated by environmental pollution, which is known to make skin look more tired, dry, and aged. If you work in an urbanised city like Singapore, chances are you’re exposed to pollution and may need to switch your products to those with anti-pollution properties so as to treat the issues precisely. This way, you’ll not just be treating specific symptoms but also observe long-lasting improvements to your complexion.

Revolutionary anti-pollution skincare products to try

Sabon Body Scrub

Popular body scrub that SABON is famous for.

We were impressed when we were first introduced to SABON. The brand that’s probably best known for their world-renowned body scrub made from essential oils and dead sea salt is one of the most forward-thinking ones that has a skincare line that’s designed specially for anti-pollution.

What’s the secret to this revolutionary collection? Well, it lies in two unique ingredients that are specially picked for their anti-pollution benefits.

Laminaria Digitata Seaweed: This unique seaweed helps preserve skin’s vitality and save skin from damage. It does so by creating an invisible protective barrier on skin, removing environmental pollutant particles from skin as you cleanse it, while protecting and de-polluting skin at the same time.

Marrubium Vulgare Extract: Improve skin cell metabolism with this edible herb. This is able to protect skin cells from the penetration of environmental pollutants, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It also removes and neutralises toxic oxidants that damages skin.
