Environmental conditions, such as fine particulate matter, climate change, and an irregular rhythm, can impact the overall health of your skin, which becomes susceptible to damage and stress. Learn how to protect your skin from air pollution and bad lifestyle choices.
6 ways to care stressed skin
In urban areas, elevated levels of pollution, UV radiation increasing, and continuous temperature fluctuations due to global warming, contribute to the so-called hypoxia, when levels of oxygen in your body tissues are low, and premature aging.
Your skin becomes dull and tired, wrinkles and spots appear on your face and all the most frequently exposed to the sun areas.
The first step to take in order to prevent skin damage is to change up your daily beauty routine with detox-specific cosmetics, such as cleansers, makeup removers, and masks. Glowing, fresh, and natural skin begins with the right anti-pollution, nourishing, and antioxidant treatments.

Protect your skin barrier against external aggressions
Here are some tips to help prevent skin aging and damages.
- Protect yourself from unhealthy air
Before you go outside, always moisturize your skin to maintain it hydrated. We recommend applying Pro-Aqua Active Cream to the face, neck, and décolleté. Proceed with a gentle massage until it has been completely absorbed. This antioxidant emulsion with hyaluronic acid shields the skin from sources of pollution and traps moisture for 24 hours.
- Protect yourself from the sun and UV rays
Protection from UV rays is important especially in summer and even in large cities. New formulation sunscreens are essential to daily blocking the harmful effects of the sun.
Follow up with our best solution for dehydration due to excessive UV light exposure, the Juvenage Plumping Face Cream. Used regularly on your face and décolleté, this soft moisturizing emulsion provides extensive moisturization for fresh and healthy skin, thanks to innovative active ingredients based on plant stem cells.
- Improve your epithelial cells
A weekly scrub is essential to thoroughly eliminate pore-clogging impurities and stimulate cell turnover of skin damaged by environmental stressors. The best way to cleanse and encourage cell regeneration is to choose natural skincare ingredients without harsh chemicals, such as the Thermal Body Scrub. This scrub gently removes dead cells and boosts skin rejuvenation, nourishes and stimulates cell vitality, for a more toned and luminous epidermis.
- Cleanse your face
Experts recommend applying masks weekly. Black Ink Facial Mask from the Limited Edition collection by Terme di Saturnia is a regenerating and restructuring gel mask that reverses sagging skin naturally. Its precious formulation improves the skin’s tone and texture and delivers extraordinary moments of well-being.
- Deep cleanse your face
Cleanse and moisturize your skin every day if you want to keep it healthy and energized. Particularly in urban contexts, work deeply into the skin. Cleansing is the very first step of all beauty routines and only in this way you can eliminate dirt, impurities, and makeup, and your skin regimens can have the maximum effect.
Facial Cleansing Oil is the best defense against all pollutants with effects on the skin and helps decongest pores.
It has a rich and silky oil-non-oil texture which produces a gentle foam that draws out residues and excess oil, giving you clean and smoother-looking skin.
- Remove make-up properly
Some types of make-up create such a layer on top of your skin that helps to protect you from pollution and other elements. However, it is very important to remove your makeup every night before going to bed, because during the night skin renews itself and makeup eventually prevents that from happening. You can try the revitalizing and lightweight Cleansing Milk that gently removes impurities and makeup while maintaining a healthy skin pH.
