As it turns out, living in a city has more cons than just traffic, minimal parking and exorbitant rent prices: Pollution in the air can wreak havoc on your skin. Smog, cigarette smoke and construction zones all contribute to a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, which cause premature aging. And don’t even get us started on the allergic reactions. Here, 7 products that keep your skin healthy while you navigate your way through those busy streets.
