Understanding Pollution and Its Impact on Skin

These are microscopic particles of pollution that float in the air. Dust, dirt, smoke and other chemicals so small they can't be seen by the human eye but very much exist in our environment. Too are often massive pollutants able to suck the life out of your skin with constant bombardments, destroying and devastating everything that it touches — slowly inching their way to deeper layers when introduced through pores.

 

How pollution can harm your skin:

• Premature Skin Aging: Free Radical Damage About 80% of skin aging is caused by free radicals generated from pollution. This damage can result in premature aging such as lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
• Clogged Pores: pollutants such as dirt and dust can clog your pores, which causes blackheads, clogged red/white heads to form that later turn into painful acne.
• Irritation: Due to exposure constantly pollution skin has reached irritation, redness and sensitive; this also exacerbates the conditions of eczema or rosacea.
• Dryness and dehydration: Pollution absorbs natural oil from the skin, resulting in dryness and dehydrated. When this occurs the skin is more prone to being stressed by environmental factors.
• Dullness and Inconsistent Skin Tone: Longer duration of pollution exposure can lead to the loss of natural glow on skin turning it into a dull, tired appearance. They may even cause of dark spots and uneven skin tone.

• Breakouts and Acne: If you are having more break-outs, especially around chin, forehead etc., the pollution on those areas is clogging your pores.
