Extract the Concrete Dust: A Skincare Guide for Skateboarders
By Base Layer Team, Skincare Science & Formulation
Key Takeaways
Combat concrete dust, urban pollution, and relentless pavement sun with Base Layer.
Skating the city means your face is basically a magnet for urban pollution. Concrete dust, exhaust fumes, and the literal grime of the streets pack into your pores, creating a dull, rough complexion full of severe blackheads. The relentless sun reflection off the pavement bakes it all in. Clean off the session.
1. Reset (Urban Extraction)
Scrub away the layer of street grime and concrete dust using a powerful exfoliating wash, ripping the pollution out of your pores before it solidifies.
2. Fortify (Scrape Recovery)
Apply a fast-absorbing, healing centella gel to quickly repair the inflamed, irritated skin caused by wiping out and constantly wiping sweat away with a dirty shirt.
3. Protect (Matte Pavement Shield)
Lock it down with a completely matte, invisible SPF that won't make your face greasy or trap more dirt while you're grinding in the summer heat.
