Blake Lively knows that as a mother-of-three and actress, she has no time for negative effects daily pollution has on her skin. Exposure to environmental pollution can kick-off the skin’s aging process and leave it dull-toned and dehydrated. Lucky for us, the A Simple Favor star has found the solution in a product that she incorporates in her daily beauty routine that will save the day.

The nude-tone product fades into the skin, leaving it soft, luminous, and protected. It should be applied in the morning after your day cream and can also be used as a makeup base. Blake completes her routine with lip balm and a natural makeup. Opting to look fresh-faced and flawless.

Day serum with vitamin C
The Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum ($80) is a super potent vitamin C serum mixed with a variety of antioxidants, essential nutrients, fruit enzymes, and a chronopeptide that mimics the antioxidant benefits of vitamin D. The mix will reaffirm and lighten the skin while improving the signs of photoaging. It offers a reservoir effect, which means that it remains active on the skin for up to 72 hours. It can be used on normal, oily, dry and combination skin.

Here's a sunscreen that protects against UV rays, but also prevents the appearance of dark spots and premature signs of aging caused by free radicals. Clarins UV plus sunscreen ($49) has a touch of color so you can use it as a light base, while the skin continues to look healthy and preserves a youthful complexion.

The original Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray has kept millions of faces fresh for hours. The cosmetics firm took its innovative and award-winning formula and enriched it with minerals such as zinc, magnesium and copper to create the All Nighter Pollution Protection ($34). The product that protects against environmental damage. UD's light-like-air proposal acts as a protective barrier against pollution, but it will also help you keep your makeup intact for up to 16 hours as it protects against oxidation, another effect of pollution.
