Urban Pollution and our skin
Living in the city certainly has its benefits, but it also has its downfalls, urban pollution being one of them. Over time, dirt, dust, smog and smoke from car exhausts, construction sites and the underground can be a burden on your skin, causing long lasting effects.
Did you know pollution particles are smaller than our pores? Pollution and airborne chemicals can easily pass through the skin, over time clogging up your pores, leaving you with a build-up of oil and dead skin cells. With this, your skin will struggle to breath, looking dull, dehydrated and uneven. This can also lead to heavy congestion, causing acne and overall unhealthy skin.
Our bodies naturally produce collagen and it’s a protein that hold our cells together. The higher our collagen levels are, the tighter and firmer our skin is. As we age our collagen levels decrease, resulting in looser skin. The production of collagen is vital for healthy looking skin as it improves its strength and elasticity. Over time, pollution can break down collagen in your skin, decreasing strength and elasticity as well as damaging DNA.
At EF MEDISPA, we offer a number of treatments and products to help keep your skin hydrated, smooth, firm and rejuvenated.
