Pollution

Pollution, by deteriorating air quality, exposes skin and hair to fine particles and harmful toxins that weaken their natural protective barrier. This deterioration promotes a loss of hydration and increases the skin's vulnerability to external aggressions, which accelerates skin ageing. Moreover, these pollutants can cause inflammation, exacerbate imperfections, and disrupt the overall balance of the skin.
