Protect city skin

City living is great, but it’s not so great for your skin, so how can you protect city skin?

One of London’s leading skincare experts, Malvina Fraser, says, ‘When living in the city it is important to take extra care of your skin. Dirt, dust and pollution levels are at their highest in the city and we find that our pores become clogged up even further.’

Charlotte Vohtz, Founder of Green People and pioneer of organic beauty, explains: ‘As smog, dirt and dust float through the air, they often come in contact with the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which create free radicals, highly charged oxygen molecules that are harmful to the skin and body. Free radicals attack cells and damage DNA, and both air and water pollution can strip skin of moisture, causing discolouration, fine lines and wrinkles.’
