What does pollution do to your skin?

Many do not know of this, but pollution is a silent aggressor as it does not just sit on the surface of your skin but it seeps deep into your skin and speeds the damage and deterioration of your cells. Hence, making way for premature ageing.

Not only that, when the pollutant particles enter your skin, but the antioxidant and DNA system in your skin also becomes too overwhelmed that they can no longer repair your skin any more. That leads to lines, wrinkles and sagging in the skin. More than that, pollution causes your skin to be inflamed and dehydrated that aggravates skin conditions like eczema.
