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.
