How does pollution affect the skin?

We all know that atmospheric pollution has very negative effects on our environment and our health. But if we talk about the skin, do you know how it affects it? We tell you in today’s post.

The emission of tobacco smoke, transport fumes, heating, industry or energy production and their diffusion and dispersion may be behind dermatological diseases and respiratory diseases.

Negative effects of pollution on the skin

How does pollution affect the skin? For those of you who do not know, atmospheric pollution increases the generation of free radicals, which accelerate ageing, the appearance of wrinkles and loss of firmness.

It also reduces the oxygen supply to tissues, which is what makes our face look dull. This is why our skin has an uneven tone, is sagging and dehydrated, lacks radiance, has clogged pores (the skin also gets dirty) and looks more aged.

Tips to protect the skin from the negative effects of pollution

The first and most important thing is to follow a daily facial routine that cleanses, purifies and hydrates the skin with specific products.

The pollution is made up of different particles and compounds that penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, clogging pores, dirtying the skin and accelerating skin ageing.

That is why we need a routine that not only protects the skin from pollution as a barrier, but also products that detoxify and remove these polluting particles.
