Our skin is the largest organ in our body and serves as a protective barrier against external environmental factors. External factors such as air quality, pollution, UV rays, sunshine hours, average winter temperatures, and humidity can all impact our skin's health. By understanding these factors, we can make informed decisions about how to care for our skin.
Air Quality
Air quality is an important factor to consider when it comes to skin health. Poor air quality can cause skin irritation, dryness, and premature aging.ย
Pollution
Pollution can have a significant impact on our skin's health. Exposure to pollutants such as particulate matter, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide can cause skin irritation, inflammation, and premature aging.ย
UV Rays
Exposure to UV rays from the sun can cause skin damage, including sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. To reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays, use a sunscreen whether itโs sunny or cloudy.
