Frequently Asked Questions

UV radiation is the single most damaging environmental factor, responsible for up to 90 percent of visible skin aging. Urban pollution (particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide), wildfire smoke, blue light from screens, and extreme temperature changes also contribute to oxidative stress, barrier disruption, and premature aging.

Year-round protection requires daily mineral SPF regardless of season or weather, antioxidant serums to neutralize free radicals, barrier-support moisturizers, and seasonal adjustments to address humidity, dryness, and changing UV intensity. IVONNE builds a comprehensive environmental defense plan tailored to your daily exposures.

Some environmental damage can be improved with corrective treatments such as laser therapy, chemical peels, and microneedling, which address pigmentation, fine lines, and texture changes caused by chronic exposure. However, prevention through daily protection is far more effective and cost-efficient than correction after the fact.

Yes. Urban environments with high pollution require stronger antioxidant defense. Cold, dry climates need richer barrier protection. High-altitude or tropical locations demand higher SPF and more frequent reapplication. IVONNE helps you adjust your regimen based on where you live and work.
