The rapid construction and infrastructure development that has fueled Dubai’s growth has also led to worsening air quality in the region.
According to leading skincare expert Natalia Derkach, Ph.D., founder of INSTYTUTUM Result-Driven Skincare, the particulate matter and toxins in the air can wreak havoc on skin health. That’s why adding a specialized facial cleanser to your daily skincare routine is an absolute necessity.
Here, she offers insights on protecting your complexion from the effects of air pollution.
How Air Pollution Affects Your Skin
The microparticles from polluted air end up deep in the skin’s pores, leading to inflammation, sensitivity, premature aging, and dull appearance. Toxic gases like nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide cause uneven pigmentation and melasma. Ozone reacts with skin lipids, creating free radicals that break down collagen and elastin. That causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear.
Overall, the constant effect of air pollution overwhelms the skin’s natural defense system. Skin struggles to repair and protect itself, becoming more prone to dehydration, irritation, breakouts, and infections.
A Pollution-Fighting Gel Cleanser
To combat the effects of air pollution, Dr. Derkach recommends her proprietary antioxidant – Transforming Melting Cleanser. It was designed to draw out and neutralize toxins while restoring the skin’s natural glow.
This cleanser contains activated charcoal and diatomaceous earth that act like magnets, trapping heavy metals, soot, smog, and dirt. All that gets removed without stripping the skin of its essential moisture.
The formula is powered by a pollution-fighting complex with Bisabolol, Bakuchiol, and Allantoin.
These natural ingredients strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, prevent collagen breakdown, and neutralize free radicals and inflammation. Skin is left deeply cleansed, balanced, and defended against urban pollution.
How to Use the Cleanser for Optimal Results
Following these instructions allows you to achieve maximum effect:
- Apply the Transforming Melting Cleanser to dry skin each morning and evening.
- Focus on the forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks, where pollution particles tend to concentrate.
- Gently massage your face in circular motions with moist fingertips until a milky emulsion forms.
- Rinse the emulsion off thoroughly with warm water using the Micro Peeling Cloth for the best results.
- Follow with a hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Brightening C-Erum and lightweight moisturizer.
For periodic deep cleansing treatments, apply a thin layer of Transforming Melting Cleanser on dry skin, then gently massage it in with wet fingertips. Then wash it off with warm water and apply the Resurfacing Glow Toner.
Additional Measures
Any person who has moved to Dubai should consider the condition of their skin. The reason is that the climatic zones are completely different, and the level of air pollution can vary significantly.
This can greatly impact your skin, and it’s essential to minimize these effects. You can use additional skincare products that involve a certain routine to apply correctly. For example, consider the Red Carpet Bundle. This set includes various beneficial items to enhance the state of your skin to a point where you’ll be ready to step onto the red carpet. Inside, you’ll find Flawless Pads and Hydrafusion, which work intensively on your skin.
You can also explore the Seasonal Must-Haves, which offers even more useful elements. This product line consists of:
- Advanced Retinol Toner;
- X-Strength Retinol Serum;
- Flawless Hydra Mist.
These three essentials are ideal for each season and help you cope with the negative effects of adverse atmospheric conditions.
A Few Lines In Conclusion
While Dubai’s air pollution levels continue rising, you can take steps to protect your skin, starting with keeping it cleansed of microparticles, dirt, and toxins. Integrating a specialized pollution-fighting cleanser like Transforming Melting Cleanser into your daily routine regimen helps strengthen your skin’s resistance. With expert insights from Dr. Derkach, you can achieve smooth, glowing skin regardless of the air quality around you.
