Is Your Commute Stressing Out Your Skin?
That long commute to work, packed schedules, stress and constant connection to social media are the norm for many of us.

Pollution can also leave your skin feeling seriously grimy and irritated. But the negatives don’t stop there, pollution can also damage the skin at a deeper level. It attacks the skin’s barrier, penetrating the dermis and epidermis leading to a whole host of issues, from clogged pores, excess sebum production and dullness to inflammation, allergic reactions and general skin irritation.

So, now that we know how much our busy lives can age our skin, what can we do about it? He suggests these three simple things:

Eat Well

Reaching for those cookies every time you’re feeling frazzled may make you feel better in the short-term, but not so much in the long run. Instead, get your daily dose of water, raw fruits and vegetables to give your body (and skin!) the hydration, fibre and other nutrients it needs to look its best.

Use The Right Products

Picking products that are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories can help strengthen skin’s barrier when life gets crazy. Choose skincare products that shield the skin against oxidative stress and free radical damage are vital. Thus, look for skincare that has antioxidant-packed formulas. Additionally, go for products that work to repair DNA damage and reinforce the skin’s barrier to protect skin from future damage.
