Living in Indian cities means your skin is constantly exposed to pollution, dust, smoke, traffic fumes, PM2.5 particles, heat, and humidity.
Whether you’re in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune or Ahmedabad, urban pollution is one of the biggest reasons behind:

• Dullness

• Acne & blackheads

• Pigmentation

• Tanning

• Uneven skin tone

• Premature aging

• Skin sensitivity

The solution?
A pollution-proof skincare routine that shields, repairs, and strengthens your skin every day.

Here’s the ultimate dermatologist-approved routine specially designed for Indian skin living in polluted cities.

🌫️ How Pollution Damages Indian Skin

Pollution particles are extremely tiny — often 20 times smaller than pores — which means they easily penetrate your skin.

Pollution causes:

✔ Free radical damage

Breaks down collagen → aging

✔ Uneven pigmentation

Dark spots, tanning, patches

✔ Clogged pores

Blackheads, whiteheads, acne

✔ Barrier damage

Dryness, roughness, sensitivity

✔ Dullness

Pollution sticks to sweat + oil

This is why Indian city skin looks tired and dull very easily.
