We all know now with air pollution. It is no longer unknown to the magazine and the Internet that fights the ‘who will be the first’ between Dhaka and Delhi. But in many cases, what remains unknown to us is how this air pollution is damaging our health? No no, asthma, Breathing I’m not talking about all this. Talk about the biggest organ of our body, skin! Air pollution is not silently damaging the skin?
The biggest part of our body is our skin. So let’s know a little today how this regular event of city life is affecting this organ of our body!
Which are the air pollutants?
Before learning about the effect of air pollution, it is important to know what elements of this air pollution? Air pollutant ingredients are basically a very small particle and a complex mixture of various gas. Let’s know them a little briefly-
- Particulate Matter (2.5-5)
- Ground level ozone gas
- Bholatile Organic Compound
- Heavy metal
- Ultraviolet ray
- Polycyclic aeromatic hydrocarbon
- Oxide
- Cigarette smoke
When the skin is long in contact with these substances, there are naturally various skin problems. Skin Being the outer layer of our body, it protects our body from the outside environment like a barrier. But air pollution is disrupting there.
Oxidative stress
Air contaminants produce oxidative stress and damage our skin. Free-radicals are produced due to air pollution, and this free radical spreads radioactivity, which produces oxidative stress on the skin. As a result, our skin collagen and elastin fiber, which is very important to maintain the elasticity of the skin, breaks the structure of their structure. So? This is why our skin has a foine line appearing and the tendency to hang the skin. In a word, the skin begins to grow before.
Increase the skin inflammation
How much do we do for the skin so that there is no inflammation due to a chemical product, isn’t it? But for air pollution, our skin inflammation rate may increase, it has ever thought that it is a ghost! But this is true! I got acquainted with Partical Matter 2.0 and Bholatail Organic Compounds in the beginning, remember? This ingredient is triggered by two very much inflammation. And with the inflammation of radiance, eching or skin inflammation, it also comes free!
Also, EczemaIf you have skin conditions like psoriasis or dermatitis, these ingredients can hit your skin quickly!
Dehydrate
Although it is quite strange to hear it, it is actually damaged by air pollution and the skin’s natural barrier is damaged and it drains more water than the skin. What is the result of this?
- Skin microbiomes or good bacteria get out or die
- Skin Barrier is quite badly damaged
- Prematurely goes after the impression of old age
- Skin in many cases Cancer Like
- The skin becomes too much dry, so many times it can burst
- The skin becomes much more sensitive
Increase the risk of skin cancer
Surprised? Skin cancer from air pollution! Why not! Although it is not so common, the free-radicals that exist in the ingredients of air pollution are very good players to change our DNA structure and damage the skin cells! That can slowly push skin cancer! However, this risk is more for those who are in the open or in the sun for a long time. So staying in the open space for a long time, especially if the air is in the polluted area, must be reduced.
Air pollution can now be called a part of our lives. If the surrounding environment is contaminated and if we are there for a long time Skincare Products can not work too well. Knowing that air pollution is silently damaging the skin, if the right steps can be taken, in many cases the amount of damage can be reduced in advance. Air pollution is high as much as possible in such places and refrain from exposing the skin directly in these places, but maybe it will start to match the results!
