Oil cleansing not only helps to get rid of makeup, it also helps to rid your skin of environmental pollutants that could clog pores and cause break outs from happening.
Remember to follow up with a double cleanse for optimum cleansing.
Drinking plenty of water helps to prevent inflammation in your skin and clear the toxins in your body.
Load up on fruits and vegetables with antioxidants because man-made pollutants usually contain plenty of free radicals.
Free radicals can cause hyper-pigmentation and fine lines on your skin and increase inflammation on skin too, causing redness.
Free radicals can eat away at the protecting barrier that your skin has so it’s best to load up on even more sunscreen to prevent any skincare issues from popping up.
