4 Ways The Environment Is Damaging Your Skin
Every day you’re exposed to environmental aggressors that affect your skin. But which are the most common ones? And how do you protect yourself from them? Keep reading to get the best tips from our Skin Care Expert Melina Galeadi!
1. UV RAYS
The sun is one of the most well-known environmental dangers to the skin. It’s UV rays (the ultraviolet light) damage the elastin and collagen in your skin, leaving you with wrinkles and saggy skin. And, over exposure to these UV rays can lead to discolouration and brown spots – tell-tale signs of premature ageing.
I cannot stress enough the importance of wearing SPF every day – even if it’s overcast, or cold, UV rays can penetrate the clouds and harm your skin. For day-to-day coverage look for a day cream that contains SPF 15 and above. If you want extra protection, (with the added bonus of reducing the appearance of dark spots!) I recommend Optimals Even Out Protecting Day Lotion that contains SPF 35.
Pollution, like smog and gas emission, damage our bodies both topically, by directly affecting the skin, and internally as we breathe them in. Like UV rays, pollutants damage the skin, causing dryness and premature ageing.
Pollution has a major effect on your skin. If you live in a city, it’s tough to avoid pollution all together, so I recommend adopting good skin care habits. Cleanse your skin day and night to remove makeup and the build-up of oil and dirt, and follow with products that have been formulated to address dryness and a loss of radiance. I recommend looking for the Anti-Pollution Active that’s in a number of our Optimals Age Revive and Even Out products. This active has been formulated to act as a protective shield over the skin to combat environmental aggressors like pollution.
This will hardly come as a surprise, but cigarette smoke is terrible for your skin. And you don’t even have to smoke to be affected. Second-hand smoking is equally damaging! Like other environmental aggressors, smoke will lead to early ageing and more wrinkles. It will also make your skin lose its glow and leave it dull and grey.
All I can say is don’t smoke!
To combat temperature changes, most of us use radiators and air conditioners to reach a comfortable climate. Unfortunately, this affects our skin in a negative way. Heated air decreases the humidity, which dries out your skin. The same goes for cool air, which can leave your skin irritated and flaky.
Here I recommend creating good skin care habits. Following a simple daily skin care routine, morning and night, can address concerns about lack of moisture, radiance and fine lines. An uncomplicated – but still effective - skin care routine consists of cleansing the skin, and then following with an eye cream to add moisture to this delicate area. You’ll then want to apply a hydrating facial serum, before completing your routine with a moisturising lotion or day/night cream.
Making good-for-the-Earth decisions doesn’t have to equate to a radical lifestyle change. In fact, being chic and eco-aware has never been easier. Try these 10 tips for greening your beauty routine and you’ll be doing the planet – and yourself – proud.
1. TURN OFF THE TAP
When you’re not rinsing your body, hair or toothbrush, turn off the tap; it’s a simple and cost-efficient way to save on water.
In America alone, people consume 1,500 plastic water bottles a second! And less than 20% of those bottles are recycled. Plastic is hard to decompose and requires a lot of energy to produce. In fact, it takes three times the amount of water to create a plastic bottle than it does to fill one! So should you stop drinking water? No of course not. Instead, invest in a reusable water bottle and fill it with tap or filtered water.
3. DISPOSE OF FACE WIPES
The Marine Conservation Society suggests that there are 35 wipes found for every kilometre of British beach – and the number’s rising! If you’re removing makeup with wet wipes throw them in the bin, not down the toilet.
Navigating the world of natural, organic and sustainable beauty products can be confusing, which is why it helps to get to know your industry certification bodies. Buying a product approved by Ecocert guarantees that your product contains over 95% natural ingredients, that it uses recyclable packaging and that it’s been manufactured responsibly. A product that is Ecocert certified will carry the body’s logo on its packaging.
Microbeads are small bits of plastic used in exfoliators. According to UNEP (the United Nations Environment Program) a typical exfoliating shower gel can contain as much plastic in microbead form as there is in its container! Look after the world’s water supply and use scrubs of natural origin instead.
6. BE FASHIONABLY CONSCIOUS
Some items of clothing don’t need to be washed after every single wear. Take denim: manufacturers recommend that you wash your jeans every five to six wears to keep their form. And if you wash your clothes at 30*C instead of 60*C, you’ll reduce your energy by half! Add to that ditching your tumble dryer and using a clothes line instead, and you’ll have saved around 2-3kg of carbon emission.
7. RECYCLE!
Your shampoo and conditioner, day cream jars, toothpaste boxes, toilet paper rolls…don’t forget, they’re all recyclable!
Cutting meat from your diet for just one day a week helps the planet. Did you know that it takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce 500g of beef? You don’t have to become a vegetarian, but you can do your bit for climate change and cutout the meat once a week!
9. GET TO KNOW FAIRTRADE
A product that is Fairtrade certified has paid a “fair price†for the ingredients within it. This means fairer trading conditions for producers and opportunities for them to invest in their businesses and communities.â€Look for the stamp.
10. PASS IT ON
Research suggests that 30% of clothes in the average wardrobe haven’t been worn in a year. When it’s time to part with your clothes don’t just throw them away (they’ll only end up in a landfill!). Instead, pass them on to a friend, a charity shop or a collection bank - remember that second hand doesn’t have
