How to Protect Your Skin & Hair from Pollution with Ayurveda
Air pollution is not just harmful for your health—it also takes a serious toll on your skin and hair. Daily exposure to pollutants, dust, UV rays, and even makeup weakens the skin’s natural barrier, leading to acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and dryness. Similarly, your hair becomes prone to dullness, frizz, and breakage.
While a healthy diet and protective habits help, adopting Ayurvedic skincare and haircare rituals is the most effective way to restore balance and protect yourself from long-term damage.

- Aloe Vera: Soothes irritation and fine lines caused by pollution
- Sandal: Brightens and calms stressed skin
👉 Apply after cleansing and toning for fresh, hydrated skin.
2. Deep Hydration with Revitalising Cream
For dry skin, layer the gel with Holy Basil & Lily Revitalising Face Cream.

Pollution Defense for Hair
Your hair is often left unprotected from pollutants, sun, and styling damage. This can lead to dryness, frizz, and split ends. Simple steps like wearing a hat outdoors and keeping hydrated are a good start, but nourishing care is essential.

- Fenugreek: Strengthens and nourishes roots
- Rajanigandha Extracts: Smoothens, reduces frizz, and adds a natural floral fragrance
This Ayurvedic formula moisturizes dry, damaged hair, leaving it soft, manageable, and naturally lustrous.
Conclusion
Pollution may be unavoidable, but with the right Ayurvedic rituals, you can protect your skin and hair from its damaging effects. Swap synthetic solutions for natural care, and let your daily routine become a source of balance, vitality, and glow.
