Pollution generates free radicals and disrupts the skin's hydrolipidic film—its vital protective barrier—leading to increased water loss and heightened sensitivity. Simply put, it's a major threat to skin health.
Urban mists are the newest powerhouse in anti-pollution skincare, delivered in a convenient spray format. Formulated with potent antioxidants, UV filters, moisturizers, and soothing ingredients, they provide an instant refresh. Apply throughout the day after your antioxidant serum to rebuild defenses against pollutants and UV rays, while hydrating and calming the skin.
