Oh joy, as if we didn't have enough to worry about already, studies are showing that smog and pollution can damage skin cells and deplete them of nutrients. It's enough to make me want to move out of Los Angeles to a farm! (Well, maybe not quite. My memories of my first and only trip to my aunt's ranch in North Dakota consist of multiple bug bites and being chased around by stray cattle. Plus, I'm allergic to hay, it would never work out.)

While my fellow city dwellers might be wondering what we can do to stop this damage (aside from starting a new trend, hazmat suit-chic), I do have a silver lining to this cloud. There are some things we can do to at least minimize the pummeling our skin is taking from our daily dose of smog, check them out here!
