What is an effective skincare routine to protect skin from air pollution?

Hello doctor,

I am a 34-year-old female. Lately, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of my skin, and I cannot help but think it might be related to the air pollution in the area.

I am doing my best with skincare, but it does not seem to be enough. Could the pollution be causing these skin issues? And if so, what steps can I take to protect my skin? Are there specific skincare routines to counteract the effects of air pollution?

Kindly suggest.
