The intensity of the haze needs no introduction. Every time we walk out, it feels like we just inhaled a pile of sawdust and we can hardly stop trying to clear our throat. The API readings in Petaling Jaya has gone up to 198, while Port Klang is one of the worst to be affected, with an API reading of 296. The air, as we know is highly-polluted with various burnt dust particles, sulphur, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
Not only will you need a lot of vitamins to really keep the impurities out of your body, but you’ll also want to protect your skin from the pollution too. Here’s a list of products we highly recommend you use during this time of year.
Rich in supreme antioxidant Tsubaki flower (Camellia) and other botanical ingredients, the Tsubaki beauty oil provides high levels of antioxidant action, denying your skin of any free radical damage. With the added ability of locking in moisture in your skin, you can be assured that your skin stays soft, smooth and hydrated.
Simply apply two or three drops of it twice a day, or blend it in with your moisturizer and foundation for instant radiance. It’s safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin, so you won’t have to worry about irritation or breakouts.
Revlon Photoready BB Cream Skin Perfector
Just because you can’t see the sun, doesn’t mean you don’t need any sunscreen. Revlon Photoready BB cream contains broad spectrum SPF 30 protection, so you great coverage and skin protection. Light as air, the BB cream is like a thin veil on your skin and it does everything a BB cream does.
ROHTO Eyedrops
While you’re busy trying to protect your lungs during the haze, don’t neglect your eyes too. Keep your eyes hydrated by using some eyedrops every few hours, especially when you’re outdoors. Drinking plenty of fluids will also help keep the dryness at bay.

Soothe your skin from the harsh nature of the haze with a hydrating serum.
