Living in Indian cities means your skin faces pollution every single day.
Whether you’re in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, or Ahmedabad, pollution is one of the biggest hidden reasons behind:
-
Dull skin
-
Acne & blackheads
-
Pigmentation
-
Dark acne marks
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Early aging
-
Sensitive, irritated skin
The solution is not complicated — you need a pollution-proof skincare routine that cleanses deeply, protects daily, and repairs damage overnight.
Here’s the ultimate pollution-proof skincare routine for Indian cities, designed specifically for Indian weather, Indian skin, and Indian pollution levels.
🌫️ How Pollution Damages Indian Skin
Indian city pollution contains PM2.5 particles that are tiny enough to penetrate pores.
Pollution causes:
✔ Free radical damage
✔ Clogged pores
✔ Acne & blackheads
✔ Pigmentation & dark spots
✔ Breakdown of collagen
✔ Weakened skin barrier
✔ Faster aging
When pollution mixes with sweat and oil, the damage becomes even worse.
