Combatting Environmental Pollution: Skincare Solutions & Recovery
Environmental pollution affects us year-round, but its impact can be particularly harsh in winter. During this season, we often find ourselves confined to smaller indoor spaces, surrounded by pollution sources like wood-burning fireplaces and car exhaust. In extreme cases, events like the LA wildfires can create a toxic cocktail of ash, asbestos, and plastic particles, wreaking havoc on our health and skin. Adding to this, our lifestyle choices, such as smoking and consuming seed oils, contribute to internal pollution. While avoiding pollution and maintaining a clean diet are crucial, what can we do to protect and repair our skin?
Our skin, as a vibrant and constantly regenerating organ, is capable of purging toxins naturally. However, it often needs extra support to combat the environmental stressors it faces daily.
One powerful ingredient stands out for its ability to detoxify skin and prevent age-related damage caused by environmental pollutants: Ougon Liquid BG, also known as Ougon oil. This ingredient is derived from the root extract of Scutellaria baicalensis and is clinically backed for its efficacy. Here’s what makes it exceptional:
-
Environmental Defense: Inhibits skin aging caused by pollutants like cigarette smoke and photoaging from UV exposure.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: Reduces inflammation, promoting a calm and healthy complexion.
-
Skin Elasticity and Wrinkle Reduction: Improves skin elasticity and softens fine lines.
Manufactured in Japan—a country renowned for its strict quality standards—this ingredient is included at its full potency in our Deep Detox Facial in a Box to deliver maximum results.
The Deep Detox Facial is a professional-grade peel system designed to decongest and brighten skin. While it’s ideal for acne-prone skin, it can be tailored for all skin types with minor adjustments. Here’s how to use it effectively:
-
Weekly Treatment: Use it once a week to maintain bright, fresh skin and combat environmental congestion.
-
10-Day Boot Camp: For more intense detoxification, use the system daily for 10 days. This is especially beneficial for addressing acne and surface impurities.
If your skin is dry or sensitive, follow these modifications:
-
Before the Peel: Apply a few drops of Heal the Need before the peel to protect your skin. (A slight feeling of heat is normal when applying the neutralizer.)
-
After the Neutralizer: Rinse off and massage a few drops of Heal the Need serum onto damp skin before applying the mask.
-
Post-Mask Hydration: After rinsing off the mask, apply Pep-Revive Daily Moisturizer. For very dry skin, mix equal parts Heal the Need and Super HA for added hydration.
You can perform 6-8 treatments every two days. If your skin becomes sensitive, pause for a few days before resuming.
The Deep Detox Facial combines Ougon Liquid BG with other potent ingredients to deliver impressive results:
-
Mandelic and Phytic Acids: Provide gentle yet effective exfoliation.
-
Salicylic Acid: Reduces acne and impurities while calming the skin.
-
Phytomoist (Snow Mushrooms): Ensures deep hydration, leaving your skin plump and nourished.
Achieving truly radiant skin requires internal and external care. To complement your skincare routine, consider these lifestyle changes:
-
Dietary Adjustments: Avoid seed oils, dairy, gluten, and sugar. Incorporate green superfoods to nourish your body and skin.
-
Exercise and Sleep: Regular physical activity and sufficient rest help your body repair and regenerate.
-
Air and Water Quality: Invest in a good air purifier and water filtration system, especially if you live in urban or densely populated areas.
