IF YOU'RE AN NYC GIRL, YOU TAKE PRIDE IN BEING AN NYC GIRL. THERE ARE COUNTLESS BENEFITS TO LIVING IN THE BIG CITY BUT NOT ALL OF IT IS GREAT FOR YOUR SKIN HEALTH. HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE THAT WILL HELP. ANYWAY, IF YOUR SKIN CAN MAKE IT HERE, IT CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE. THAT’S HOW THE LYRICS WENT, RIGHT? 

AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUM – Okay this is a staple in any skincare routine. But it is especially important for us city folk. Antioxidants are the main thing that will fight against free radical damage. Living in a large city makes us way more susceptible to free radical damage because we are living in and are exposed to a more polluted environment.

A Great Exfoliant – You need to have a great exfoliant that removes any excess buildup in your skin, using products that include charcoal and is detoxifying are a plus. We love Dermalogica's superfoliant. 

Double Cleansing: YES, you need to double cleanse or dare I say it, triple cleanse. The first step is to remove makeup and debris/pollution of the day off your skin and the second step is to actually cleanse your skin. This will make the world of a difference!
