What Pollution Does
- Skin: Oxidative stress → dullness, pigmentation, fine lines, acne flares.
- Scalp/Hair: Particulate buildup → itch, dandruff, fragility.
AM Routine (Defence)
- Gentle cleanse (avoid the squeaky-clean feel).
- Antioxidant serum (vitamin C/E/ferulic or green tea + resveratrol).
- Ceramide moisturiser for barrier support.
- SPF 50, PA++++—reapply every 3 hours outdoors.
- Physical shield: scarf/buff on high-pollution days.
PM Routine (Detox & Repair)
- Double cleanse if you are outdoors.
- Niacinamide 5% or panthenol/peptides; retinoid 2–3 nights/week if tolerated.
- Urea 5–10% once or twice weekly for flakes.
When To Come In
- Laser Toning / PicoSure for uneven tone and pollution-linked pigmentation.
- HydraFacial / O2 Derm for deep, non-stripping cleanse and hydration.
- DermaPen-4 for texture and pores.
- Face GFC / Exosomes to support brightness and recovery (see Face menu).
- Scalp Detox / Scalp Peel for buildup, dandruff, and itch.
