Beyond its well-known impact on respiratory health, air pollution is now being linked to skin damage. Recent scientific findings show that exposure to air pollutants can lead to premature aging, acne, and other skin problems. Fine particulate matter and toxins in the air can penetrate the skin, causing inflammation and reducing its natural ability to repair and regenerate. Protecting your skin from pollution, such as wearing sunscreen and using antioxidant-rich skincare products, is becoming increasingly important in urban environments.
