    A guide to protecting your skin from pollution

    If you live in a city, you are probably aware of the rising pollution levels. Exposure to high levels of air pollutants for an extended period or repeatedly may harm your skin.

    As cities are engulfed in smog and their air quality approaches hazardous levels, the pollutants will affect your skin if appropriate care is not taken.
    To rescue your skin from harsh pollutants, a team of sensitive skin experts from Cetaphil shares a few tips to ensure our skin doesn’t lose its nourishment.

    1. Air purifier: Invest in a good air purifier. Since most allergies stem from dust, a good quality air purifier is ideal to help clean the home environment and remove dust and other harmful particles.

    2. Practice good hygiene: Always wash your hands thoroughly after every task and before touching your skin. Change your clothes at least twice a day and ensure that you bath regularly to remove all the pollutants from your skin.

    3. Keep the skin nourished: Your skin may suffer because of increased pollution and seasonal changes, making it more sensitive and prone to irritation and allergies.

    People with sensitive skin may have a thinner or weakened skin moisture barrier, which allows irritants to penetrate and hydration to escape. Make sure your skin is well-nourished and moisturised to improve the resilience of sensitive skin.

    While stepping outdoors, always carry a moisturiser, like Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, which can soothe irritated skin and provide intense moisture.

    4. Limit outdoor time: Tracking air quality ensures that you can better manage your outdoor time. Go for a walk in the morning when the air is fresh ,and plan your day and tasks to avoid making multiple trips outside.

    In addition, don’t forget to apply sunscreen as the harsh rays of the sun, paired with the hazardous air quality, can irritate your skin more. This could also lead to stinging and itching.

    5. Look for hypo-allergenic products: It is essential to use hypo-allergenic products, especially if you have sensitive skin, in this harsh climate. Using strong products on the skin when it is irritated may cause more harm than good.

    Look for ingredients like Niacinamide, which helps tackle inflammation and regulate the oil in your skin

    Celebrated Gqom star Mandla ‘Mampintsha‘ Maphumulo will today be laid to rest. Yesterday, friends and family gathered for a memorial service for the musician. Mampintsha passed away on Christmas eve after suffering a stroke.

    He’s been remembered as a selfless person who helped other musicians to further their careers. Speaking at the memorial, Mampintsha’s father said he was heartbroken and still coming to terms with his son’s death. DJ Tira said Mampintsha’s legacy would live on.

    Mampintsha's funeral service

     

    “I didn’t think in my life I would see his picture like this. Even now my heart is still broken but the one thing that would make us go forward is the love you give us.

    “I’m glad this house [church] is filled like this because it means the love you have for Mampintsha, Big Nuz, Afrotainment and West Ink is big. There is still a lot of work to be done. Our sister Babes Wodumo must go back to her place at the top.

    Mampintsha's funeral service

    “Mampintsha was very talented and creative. Everything that was his, you could not compare it to anyone. How many groups in South Africa or across the world vanished for 10 years and when they came back they went to the top? Big Nuz was quiet and came back, and now they have what I think is the biggest song in the country and it’s because of Mampintsha and Danger’s creativity.
