It’s a harsh world out there – these are the products saving our skin from taking the hit.
Synergie Skin Enviroshield – Caitlin
What it is: A daily spritz that hydrates the skin and guards against pollutants and infrared damage.
My experience: A couple of spritzes after cleansing and my skin was instantly hydrated, protected from nasties and visibly dewy. The subtle rose scent makes this product all the more appealing.
Bioelements Remineralist Daily Moisture – Zoe
What it is: A lightweight, hydrating lotion for ageing skin types that helps to moisturise and also neutralise pollution on the skin. The lotion's oceanic formula replenishes skin's depleted minerals, to achieve the elemental equilibrium of young skin.
My experience: Not only does it smell amazing but my skin was left feeling instantly hydrated and healthy. It also appeared to even out my skin tone, which makes it the perfect base when prepping for my daily makeup routine.
What it is: What isn’t it?! This all-in-one defends skin against pollution, fights UV and free radical damage, hydrates skin and prevents the appearance of ageing – all while offering a sheer, universal tint that works as a great base for make up.
My experience: Anything that can simplify my morning routine is a winner! This smooth formula takes less than a minute to apply and absorb, leaving my face smooth and myself confident that my skin is protected against harsh environmental factors.
Kiehl’s Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Masque – Astrid
What it is: An overnight detoxifying face mask that defends against impurities.
My experience: I absolutely love the cooling, minty fresh feeling I get as this is applied to my face. The process is rather interesting - leave it on for 5, tissue off, pat in any excess and leave overnight as a protective layer. Personally I prefer a mask that you completely wipe off, however I was impressed at how soft and revived my skin felt the next morning.
Innoxa Pollution Protect Foundation – Laura
What it is: A foundation that creates a flawless base while also protecting the skin from environmental stresses.
My experience: This foundation provided great coverage as well as giving me the confidence that it was defending my skin against pollution as well as the sun's harmful rays.
