Can Natural Oil Protect Your Skin from Pollution? The Answer is Yes
How does pollution affect your skin?
We live exposed to smog, microparticles, environmental pollution, and even blue light. All of that creates oxidative stress, a kind of "invisible attack" that:
- Dehydrates the skin
- Triggers spots, acne, and sensitivity
- Accelerates skin aging
The good news? Nature has its own defense: vegetable oils rich in antioxidants.
How do natural oils help?
Vegetable oils create a lipid barrier that protects your skin without blocking it. They work as an active shield that:
Prevents water loss (dehydration)
Repels contaminating particles
Neutralizes free radicals (thanks to its antioxidants)
Calms inflammation
The best oils to combat pollution:
1. Pomegranate seed oil

2. Raspberry oil

Be careful with synthetic oils
Avoid mineral oils or those with silicones, as do not nourish or protect, they only create a superficial layer that can clog pores. Always look for cold-pressed and 100% natural oils.
