How To Protect Your Skin From Environmental Pollution

With the seasons changing and our skin adapting to the new weather, we sometimes forget SPF is not the only form of protection we need.

The skin is the body’s largest organ and the part of the body that interacts most with the environment. This means there are many other ways the skin can be impacted by what is around us.

How Does Pollution affect the skin?

Many environmental factors such as UV exposure, stress, poor diets etc. are key drivers of aging. Of these, regular exposure to pollution stimulates cell death and inflammation, promoting further aging. Pollution contains many highly reactive molecules, called free radicals, that damage cellular lipids, proteins, and DNA. With age, the skin is less capable to defend itself against pollution, and this inflammation and tissue damage worsens.
