Pollution can cause the skin to be oxidized more quickly externally due to free radicals contained in pollution. The free radicals formed will affect the quality of the skin so that it becomes unhealthy, dull, dry, scaly, wrinkled and fast-risked for aging.

Aesthetic and anti-aging expert from the Indonesian Association of Aesthetic Doctors, Dr. Cynthia Jayanto, M. Biomed (AAM) advises people to choose skin care to contain antioxidants such as vitamin C, glutation, astaxanthin to prevent the bad effects of air pollution on the skin.

"In addition to skincare, we also need skin supplements that are taken that can ward off free radicals from the internal body," said Dr Cynthia, quoted in ANTARA, Friday, September 1.

Meanwhile, washing your face and wearing a mask before bed temporarily prevents the adverse effects of air pollution. This is because exposure to pollution is not only on the outside of the body.

Then, regarding the recommended time for a person to visit a beauty clinic in order to reduce the adverse effects of pollution exposure, Cynthia suggested as early as possible.

"This may be better, even before exposure continues, of course prevention is needed as early as possible, either internal or external treatment," Cynthia's message said.

Meanwhile, skin health experts argue that the impact of air pollution, especially for the skin, can lead to dehydration, skin microbiome disorders, skin protection damage, premature aging and skin cancer. Often, pollution can also worsen existing skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis.
