JAKARTA - Air pollution in Indonesia is worrying. Not only dangerous for body health, pollution can also have a bad impact on skin health.

Pollution is said to cause problems with modern urban skin such as comedo and acne throughout the year, accompanied by sensitive skin.

"There are iron fine particles, part of the pollution content in general, free radicals that are very reactive. Absorbed into the skin through hair follicles, living in the skin for years and indecomposable, causing the skin to be prone to damage," said beauty expert, dr. Olivia Ong, M. Biomed (AAM).

The woman who is familiarly called Mbak Yom said pollution lowers skin immunity and weakens barrier skin. It causes the skin to become stressed, more sensitive and fragile.

"Also reducing the diversity of microbiome skins. If this is the case, of course, the level of inflammation in the skin increases, creating increasingly unideal conditions for a living ecosystem, where acne-causing bacteria, which are actually part of human natural microbiome skins, turn into virulent, causing a person's skin to be symptomatic and acne," said the founder of the AYOM skincare product.

"If the situation continues without the right skincare, there will be more Sensescent cells or zombie skin cells that according to their name will transmit their zobiousness, make the surrounding healthy skin cells into zombie skin cells as well, deceive immune cells so they don't get swabbed and thrown out. This further worsening skin inflammation," he continued.

This is what makes Mbak Yom then give birth to the AYOM skincare on August 17, 2022. Even today, this skincare specifically provides the right and directed solution to overcome all skin problems that occur due to pollution.

Mbak Yom said that his products had left the use of antibiotics, steroids, alcohol, paraben, determinants, fragrances and dyes.

This makes this skincare able to restore a balanced, strong and comfortable skin environment for the diversity of microbiome skins with an abundance of antioxidants, prebiotics and postbiotics, so that the comodos, acne to acne scars slowly fade and run away.

Astrid Satwika (influenter) and Yuni Shara (singer) are public figures who have felt the effectiveness of AYOM products. Astrid has even been using it for the past 1.5 years.

"This is evidenced by my son Rania from a baby with sensitive skin, easily irritated, one with a little bursts, red, because I used the wrong skincare before, there was a red circle on the cheeks, around the mouth and other areas, until it was inflamed almost abrasions. Already tried to be treated, months of recurrence continued until finally trying to use this," said Astrid.

Meanwhile, Yuni Shara admitted that she had made AYOM part of her days. He said, this product is made of fermented and growing probiotics.

"So anything made of nature will nourish our skin," said Yuni Shara.
