How to Protect Your Skin from Climate Change

October 30, 2019

Climate change is very real and it’s here. There’s no more denying the fact that it affects everyone. Those who are in big and congested cities might be experiencing it worse because of the urban heat island effect that makes their surroundings more uncomfortable.

Don’t think that the layers of SPF on your makeup are enough to protect you from the dangers of climate change completely. You should also do the following to protect your skin better:

Wash Your Face Before Bedtime

When you’re out of the house, you’re exposed to all the pollutants in the air. You may not see them, but they’re there and they can clog your pores, causing breakouts and other skin problems. This makes cleansing an important part of your nighttime routine, to remove the impurities in your pores so that you will go to sleep with a truly clean face. Skin experts also recommend double cleansing so that the stubborn and deeply-rooted impurities will be removed by the second cleanse, which is usually water-based.

Moisturize and Rehydrate

It’s not enough that you cleanse; you also need to bring back the moisture that your skin has lost from the day’s activities. There are several ways you can hydrate, and you can even use them on top of each other. For instance, that face mask product you bought can be used before you apply your favorite moisturizer to double up on hydration. Some face masks also have vitamin C and other nutrients that help clarify and brighten the skin. One of the side effects of unhealthy skin is its dull appearance. With proper hydration, you can solve this and encourage cell regeneration as well.

Protect Your Skin

You already know how to remove impurities that would otherwise clog your pores. You also know that hydration is important in keeping the skin looking healthy. Before you even leave the house, you should already be protecting your skin from climate change, UV, and pollution outside. Products with SPF help do this, and if you use them religiously, you will avoid premature skin aging that is often coupled with crow’s feet and wrinkles. However, you can do more than just using products with SPF.

If you’ve been exfoliating, your skin might be sensitive to the sun. This means it’s better to stay indoors during the hottest time of the day.

You can also use proper sun protection, such as hats or umbrellas. Even the clothes you wear can protect your skin from the harshness of the sun’s rays. With climate change resulting in dramatically changing weather patterns, it’s not enough to rely on forecasts anymore. You might be expecting rain, but the sun can still show up and cause harm to your skin if you’re not prepared.

There are a lot of things you can do to protect your skin from climate change. The good thing is you don’t have to choose just one. The more ways you protect your skin from climate change, the better it will be for the overall state of your skin.

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃 The Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!
