Skin and the City

City life

Living in a big and buzzing city such as London has surely many benefits to name a few, fast personal development, easy access to any kind of entertainment, a broad offer of restaurants and retail shops, inspirational art and history. However, city life can be quite stressful for our skin. Our skin is facing daily polluted air in the city, tubes, air-conditioned workplaces, sun and unhealthy food and drinks. Not to forget the stress.  Here is a small do and don’t list that should help to keep the skin healthy.

Do:

Cook your own food where possible and choose healthy ingredients.

Snack some fruits instead of chocolate, crisps or cookies.

Stay hydrated by drinking enough water

Wear sunscreen

Cleanse and moisturise the skin mornings and evenings.

Wear eye cream

Keep towels and bed linen clean

Choose the right bedding for a restful sleep

Try to disconnect from stressful environments

Work out to flush out toxins

Use serums and face masks

Keep your hands clean
