Every winter, Delhi faces the same cycle of heavy pollution, wrapped in a blanket of dangerous smog that takes a toll on our skin and lungs. Smog is primarily ground-level ozone created from industrial emissions, which leads to poor air quality (AQI) in the city. Due to prolonged exposure to airborne pollutants, our skin becomes dull and fatigued. You may also experience dehydration, acne breakouts, clogged pores, and redness. To protect your skin from these harmful effects, take charge and follow these simple steps.
Cleanse your face properly
Keep your face clean from all the dust and bacteria and try cleansing your face twice a day. Before going to bed make sure to remove all the makeup, and dust particles, and then deep cleanse your face using a gentle cleanser with mild moisturising qualities.

Drink plenty of water
To maintain a glowing and clear complexion you need to start drinking enough water which flushes out toxins instantly and helps you keep a clear skin. Water consumption purifies your skin with a natural glow and also reduces other skin and health issues.
Start pampering your skin
You need to go out of the way and start pampering your skin on an everyday basis which would improve your skin’s texture and reduce the skin damage which is caused by this hazardous air. Start opting for natural face packs and treat your skin with yoghurt, turmeric, and aloe vera. It will fight off dull skin and will deeply nourish your skin as well.

Defend your skin
After cleansing your skin it is very important to bind a strong shield against the harmful dust particles present in the air. You need to start using antioxidants and create a shield with creams and lotions filled with beeswax, glycerine, vitamin E, and other such serums and moisturisers.

Prevention is better than cure
Avoid leaving your skin and hair exposed to the air which would accelerate the issues. Understand the weather conditions and apply a defense cream, wear breathing masks, and cover your hair and face with a scarf if possible to reduce the skin’s exposure to pollution.
