How does air pollution affect the skin?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hope you are doing well.

I have gone through your query and I do understand your concern.

Air pollution causes a number of skin conditions, namely:

1. Acne ranges from mild to severe acne, which includes blackheads, whiteheads, pus-containing acne, and so on.

2. Dry and damaged skin, causing pigmentation and dark spots.

3. Eczema or dermatitis due to allergies from exposure to dust and other pollutants.

4. Peri orbital hyperpigmentation or dark circles due to allergic reaction.

Skincare suited for combating the effects of the same includes :

1. Face wash consisting of Salicylic and Glycolic acid. Apply two pumps on the damp face, massage in gentle circular motions for one minute, and wash off.

2. Vitamin C serum is to be used in the morning for the entire face after using a face wash.

3. Use a very gentle moisturizer that does not clog the skin.

4. Sunscreens are to be applied every day every two hours from 9 am to 5 pm.

5. Take a capsule of vitamin E for hydration of the skin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards.
