XOXO is city living causing havoc to our skin??

Are you the quintessential Urban Dweller, hopping from brunch to dinner via an art exhibition with a matcha latte in hand?!

We totally get you, living in a cool and vibrant City is exciting which is why millions of us flog to live in cities all over the world. 

But City Living comes with its challenges (urghmm we don't have to tell you about that ..)  especially when it comes to to taking care of our skin.

 POLLUTION

The Challenge One of the major issues in Cities is pollution, both indoors and outdoors. Pollution in the air can have a multitude of effects on our skin from causing clogged pores, inflammation, formation of fine lines and wrinkles and even discolouration.

Solution Adopting  a proper skin care regime, with lots of deep cleanses, and regular treatments to combat the effects of pollution is a must. Get into the habit of washing your skin and commit to a weekly deep cleansing mask to help extract impurities from the skin. 

What to buy? We love this cheeky tropical mask filled with papaya goodness 

A light serum bursting with antioxidants will help fight those nasty free radicals caused by pollution

What to buy? This Glow Getter  is loved by our community for a reason, super lightweight and nourishes the skin deep from within.

LACK OF HUMIDITY IN THE AIR

The Challenge Lack of humidity in cities can be a major challenge for the skin. Dry air strips the skin of its natural moisture, causing irritation and premature ageing. A great way to ease the effects of dry air on the skin is to use a hydrating face mask once a week, use a heavy moisturiser at night and increase your water intake to give skin an extra boost of hydration.

...Sunlight and UV rays

The Challenge Even on cloudy days the ultraviolet rays are present and can cause damage to your skin. Sunscreen should be your best friend as a city dweller to help keep your skin healthy and protected against sun damage.

What to buy? We love this squeaky clean SPF. It goes on completely sheer so perfect for all skin tones but deliciously clean and good for the environment.
