Combat the Aging Effects of Pollution

Air pollution poses health risks across the globe. And scientific research has revealed that ongoing, daily exposure to pollution dramatically impacts your skin’s health and appearance and how quickly it ages.

Like unprotected sun exposure, pollution damages your skin. And it’s more important now than ever before to protect your skin from environmental pollution, not just the sun. The right skin care is where that protection begins.

What is air pollution?

Air pollution refers to the gases or particles released into the air by human activities, like auto exhaust, manufacturing plants, petroleum refineries and cigarette smoke. Breathing is the most direct route for air pollution to get into your body. But many pollutants are known to pass easily through the skin and cause damage as well. If you damage your skin, it goes into repair mode and excites enzymes which re-adsorb damaged collagen – causing inflammation. When you have too much chronic inflammation, these enzymes remove more collagen than your skin can create – causing the visible signs of aging.

Although air pollution is worse in big cities, no one is risk free because pollution moves through the atmosphere and travels beyond industrialized cities.

How does pollution affect your skin?

Air pollution comes in many forms. Some that pose the biggest risk to your skin’s appearance include:

• Smog (especially ground-level ozone)
• Automobile exhaust
• Cigarette smoke
• Manufacturing by-products (such as phthalates from plastics)
• Small particulate matter (including aerosols)

Pollution causes free-radical damage to your skin. The damage leads to the breakdown and deterioration of everything your skin needs to look healthy and prevent the visible signs of aging, like:

• Wrinkles
• Uneven, dull skin tone
• Brown spots
• Enlarged pores
• Redness
• Dry, itchy skin
