Pollution-Related Dullness / “City Skin”
What is the problem?
If you live in a busy city, you may have noticed your skin looking tired, grey, or “lifeless” even when you get enough sleep. This is often called city skin or pollution-related dullness. Instead of glowing, your skin appears rough, uneven, and older than it really is. Many people also feel their usual skincare products don’t work as well anymore.
What causes the problem?
City life comes with hidden enemies for your skin:
- Pollution and dust – Tiny particles in the air settle on your face, clogging pores and triggering free radicals that damage healthy skin cells.
- UV exposure + polluted air – Together, they speed up aging, creating pigmentation, dark spots, and dull tone.
- Stressful lifestyle – Late nights, long screen time, and city stress make the skin weaker and less able to repair itself.
- Weakened skin barrier – When your natural shield is damaged, skin loses hydration easily, becoming rough, sensitive, and more prone to breakouts.
All of these create a cycle: pollution damages your skin → your barrier weakens → your skin looks tired, grey, and older.
How to fix the problem?
The key is to detox, protect, and restore glow. Here’s how:
- Deep cleansing – Remove pollutants, dust, and buildup that regular washing can’t clear.
- Strengthen the skin barrier – Hydration and antioxidants rebuild your shield, making it harder for pollution to harm your skin.
- Repair and brighten – Treatments that target pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and oxidative stress bring back radiance.
- Ongoing protection – Using SPF, hydration products, and professional care helps keep dullness away.
Think of it as giving your skin a fresh start—like cleaning a dusty window so the sunlight can shine through again.
