Have you noticed your car looking much dustier than normal, recently? Or the signs in the supermarket advising you to double wash your fruit and veg? This is all because of the Saharan sands which have been blowing over the UK and settling on everything, making them extra dirty. This also means that there’s a good chance that the Saharan sands could be settling on our skin and causing problems with our complexions. With this in mind, we’ve curated a list of five deep cleansing products to help you to rid your skin of any environmental interference.
