Experts Explain How Heat, UV, and Pollution Affect Skin and Protection Tips

Rising temperatures, increased UV exposure, and pollution are impacting skin health by damaging the skin barrier and accelerating ageing. Dermatologists highlight that extreme heat weakens the skin's protective lipids and disrupts moisture retention, while UV radiation and pollution cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and dark spots. Experts recommend daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, antioxidants like Vitamin C and niacinamide, hydration with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides, and gentle cleansing to protect and repair the skin amid changing climate conditions.
