Protecting the skin from external influences is more important than ever before. The health, appearance and well-being of our skin can be significantly affected by it. Healthy and well-nourished skin is not a coincidence. Living in urban centers undoubtedly has many advantages, such as proximity to the most events, cultural institutions, culinary offerings, services, jobs, and much more. However, it also has several disadvantages that come with the burden of cities. At the top of the list is certainly smog and pollution.

In recent years, pollution has become one of the key factors affecting the health, condition, and appearance of our skin. It is an important factor that can cause clogged pores, skin reactions, and a dull, tired complexion. However, the aforementioned consequences are not the most dramatic for the skin. Pollution and other environmental influences are among the biggest causes of premature aging. But rest assured, protecting the skin can be incredibly effective, we just need to be consistent.
Environmental particles are so small that they have the ability to penetrate the layers of the skin, causing cell damage. They affect the reduction of vitamin E and moisture levels in the epidermis. In the dermis, they can cause the degeneration of connective tissue, which can lead to inflammation and dehydration, as well as a decrease in the elasticity and firmness of the skin. Pollution, combined with free radicals, creates a strong bond that is one of the key causes of skin damage and premature aging in the modern world.
What are Free Radicals?
It's important for us to understand the impact of free radicals on our skin. These unstable particles can wreak havoc on healthy cells, causing accelerated aging and a host of other issues. Free radicals steal electrons from stable molecules in a process called oxidation, creating a chain reaction that can be damaging to our bodies. Antioxidants are essential in counteracting these negative effects, both through our diets and topically applied products. While our bodies do produce antioxidants naturally, we can boost our defenses by incorporating antioxidant-rich foods and nourishing skincare products into our routine. It's all about taking a comprehensive approach to caring for our skin and promoting overall health.

Protecting Your Skin from the Cold
Your skin requires adapted care depending on the season. In warmer months, a light moisturizing texture is sufficient, but in colder months, your skin needs richer care that includes a few more nourishing ingredients: natural oils and butters that provide your skin with lipids, strengthening the hydrolipidic layer and the skin barrier. This helps your skin stay protected for longer against moisture loss and temperature changes. To protect your skin from the cold, reach for nourishing balms or add a drop of nourishing oil to your routine. For excellent support in protection, we recommend trying the Soothing CBD Skin Balm and Replenishing Antioxidant Face Oil. Apply both products as the final step in your routine on well-moisturized skin for the best protective effect. Their purpose is to capture moisture in your skin and provide long-lasting hydration.

Let lip balm and hand cream become your essentials
Lip skin is particularly thin and sensitive, as it is not capable of producing a protective filter on its own. That's why proper care can prevent dryness and cracks on the lips. The same goes for sensitive hand skin. Hands are one of the most exposed parts of the body; we expose them to water, cleansers, detergents, and disinfectants daily, all of which greatly affect the skin's condition. Cold weather makes our skin extremely sensitive, reactive, often damaged and injured. Protecting the skin from the cold is therefore extremely important for the most exposed areas. Of course, we can protect our hands by using gloves and regular protective care with hand cream. In any case, caring for these exposed areas of the body will pay off. At Hemptouch, we know that skin problems often occur on the hands and lips, so we have found answers to them in the formulations of Hemptouch Intensive Lip Balm and CBD Hand Cream.

Hemptouch's Guide to Effective Sun Protection for Healthy and Youthful Skin
Sun rays can cause significant harm to the skin, as both UVA and UVB rays can lead to skin damage, aging, and increased risk of skin cancer. Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial, and thankfully, there are effective creams available for this purpose. UVB rays damage the outer layers of the skin, while UVA rays penetrate deeper and cause premature aging and certain types of cancer. Using a facial sun protection cream consistently is vital, and it must offer protection against both types of rays. Look for a day cream with UVA protection indicated by the UVA symbol to ensure proper protection against the sun's harmful rays.
Last but certainly not least: The importance of skin cleansing
When we consider pollution and smog particles, the application of protective filters, sweating, and touching our faces throughout the day, it is clear that our skin deserves daily thorough cleansing. This cleansing should be particularly thorough in the evening when we remove the weight of the outside world and protective creams. An excellent choice for effective yet gentle care is the Purifying Face Cleanser. We recommend that you do your evening cleansing in two steps to ensure it is thorough, and repeat the cleansing step every morning. A drop of the gel is enough to invigorate your skin and prepare it for the application of fresh daily protection, which will tackle the day ahead.
