What pollution does to your skin

Every year, the pollution keeps getting worse, which can take a toll on the skin. The upper layer of our skin, epidermis plays the role of a barrier from the harmful effects of the environment. However, with the overexposure of pollution, the barrier fails to work. Major air pollutants that have adverse effects on the skin include the solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), volatile organic compounds (VOC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), nitrogen oxides (NO), particulate matter (PM), and cigarette smoke.
