Her World Beauty Awards 2020: Best anti-pollution skincare products

Take pollution seriously – it’s as bad as UV rays when it comes to damaging and ageing skin

by Her World   /   March 13, 2020

The time to make room for some anti-pollution skincare products is now. With various forms of irritations including clogged pores, an oily complexion, dull and aged skin, counteract air pollutants with a potent anti-pollution moisturiser, cleanser, sunscreen or serum.

To boost your skin’s defence against pollution and environmental stressors all while granting dull skin a hydrated, healthier-looking finish, here’s what you need.

Her World Beauty Awards 2020: Best anti-pollution skincare products
Best anti-pollution cleansing oil: Huxley Secret of Sahara Cleansing Oil – Deep Clean, Deep Moist, $65
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice & Readers’ Choice

It removes tough makeup easily, although budge-proof mascara needs a second round. Skin feels fresh after cleansing, not overly stripped.

Best anti-pollution cleanser: Sigi Skin Kaleanser, $38
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

It does a good job of taking off foundation and waterproof eyeliner with just one cleanse, although superpigmented lipsticks need a more thorough cleanse. The jelly texture is gentle and doesn’t leave skin feeling taut (read about other Sigi Skin products here).

Best anti-pollution cleanser: Huxley Secret of Sahara Cleansing Foam – Deep Clean, Deep Moist, $33
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

A slightly less than pea-sized amount is sufficient to lather into a foam. It cleanses skin thoroughly, even taking off heavy makeup and long-wearing foundation. Face feels squeaky clean after cleansing, yet still comfortable.

Best anti-pollution cleanser: Vichy Normaderm Phytosolution Intensive Purifying Gel, $30
image

Drugstore – Editor’s Choice

The minty, fresh scent is a winner. It works well for those with oily skin – all you need to do is use a generous amount. Skin feels instantly grime- and oil-free, yet remains soft and supple. It makes a good everyday cleaner.

Best anti-pollution cleanser: Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser, $11.50
image

Drugstore – Readers’ Choice

This has a super creamy texture that lathers really well and removes light makeup and dirt easily. The cleanser also washes off quickly and easily. Skin feels extremely clean after washing, and doesn’t feel too dry or tight.

Best anti-pollution serum: Chantecaille Blue Light Protection Hyaluronic Serum, $250
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

Its blend of hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights means your skin is hydrated at every level, from the surface to the dermis. This pre-serum works just as well as a serum (and makeup primer), and can be used on sensitive skin.

Best anti-pollution serum: IDS Skincare Dermashield Serum, $99
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

With a light citrusy scent and moisturising texture, this lends skin a slight glow. After just four days of using it morning and night, skin feels much softer and has a subtle radiance.

Best anti-pollution moisturiser: The Body Shop Carrot Cream Nature Rich Daily Moisturiser, $31
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

Provides ample hydration that keeps skin supple during the day. The formula is highly absorbent and pillow-proof.

Best anti-pollution moisturiser: Su:m37° Secret Cream, $189
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

The rich cream has a silky texture that glides on skin smoothly. The complexion feels nicely moisturised and not greasy.

Best anti-pollution sunscreen: Kanebo Global Skin Protector SPF50+, $69
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

The gel-cream texture softens the skin upon application. Makeup sits beautifully on top of the sunscreen without patchiness or caking. It also gives skin a nice glow.

Best anti-pollution sunscreen: Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Aqua Gel SPF50/ PA++++, $56
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

True to its name, the sunscreen spreads like a water gel – it’s very thin and lightweight, and melts into skin instantly. Those with sensitive skin may feel a slight tingling feeling around the eyes, but it leaves skin shine-free and smooth.
