What are the hazards of haze to the skin

We all know that there are a lot of harmful substances in the air on foggy days. If we do not wear a mask when going out, these harmful substances will enter the respiratory tract and lungs in our body with our breathing, which will cause many serious diseases. Therefore, it is very necessary to reduce going out on foggy days. So will smog cause harm to our skin? Let’s find out together!

Dust or particles in the air basically do not harm the skin: If you think that large dust or particles will penetrate into the skin, you can rest assured, because the secretion of the skin pores is leaked rather than absorbed, so the skin has a certain repulsion to these pollutants. Haze is "granular" and will not dissolve or move, so it basically cannot penetrate into the skin.

Free radicals are the main cause of skin damage: free radicals produced by pollutants are the culprits of skin damage. As an organic compound born from pollutants, it not only accelerates skin aging, but also causes a series of skin problems. In addition, due to environmental pollution, there is more carbon dioxide in the air, the oxygen obtained from breathing decreases, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood decreases, and the amount of oxygen transported to the whole body also decreases, which will cause the skin to "depreciate" as a result.

Problem 1: Acne

Although some haze particles will not penetrate deep into the skin and block the pores, such weather is more likely to produce keratin, and some water-soluble dirt can stay in the pores of the skin and clog the pores, causing skin imbalance and acne.

Question 2: Allergies

The skin is sensitive in autumn and winter, and the continuous smog days are more likely to accumulate toxins that damage the skin. The friction between suspended matter in the air and the skin can also cause skin allergies.

The above content clearly introduces to everyone the harm that smog does to our skin. I believe that friends who have read it now have a clearer understanding. It turns out that it is not the dust particles in the air that can harm our skin, but the free radicals derived from pollution can cause serious damage to our skin.
