Have you ever cleansed your face and taken care of your skin every morning and evening, but your skin is still sensitive? In fact, your skin has been largely damaged by pollutants such as secondhand smoke, suspended particles PM2.5, and automobile exhaust, which have damaged the skin barrier and turned normal skin into fragile skin. This time, we will explain 5 skin problems caused by air pollution one by one.
How serious is Hong Kong's air pollution?
In 2020, the Environmental Protection Department recorded five major air pollutants in Hong Kong:
- Respirable suspended particulate matter (PM10)
- Fine suspended particles (PM2.5)
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
- Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
- Ozone (O3)
Other pollutants in different areas of Hong Kong include: smog, second-hand smoke, vehicle emissions, suspended particles, light damage and environmental stress, which are damaging the skin every second...
How do pollutants directly harm the skin?
Although different levels of foreign pollutants may not cause inflammation immediately after coming into contact with the skin, the skin barrier has been gradually damaged. Especially now that we wear masks every day, pollutants will be trapped inside the mask, and bad bacteria/bacteria will cause the surface microecology to be unbalanced, creating oxidative stress. Other issues that pollutants are causing the skin to face:
- Skin barrier damaged → skin dehydrated
- Skin pH imbalance → sensitivity, acne and other problems
- Decomposition of collagen → premature aging, including wrinkles and sagging
- Stimulates melanin formation → spots and uneven skin tone
-
Infrared and heat damage → photoaging and yellowing of the skin
