Dermatologists Now Warn Pollution Has Undesirable Effects on the Skin

(Newswire.net — December 24, 2018) Wilmington, DE — Pollution has long been known to be detrimental to overall health. It can also wreak havoc on the skin, which is almost always exposed to environmental threats and toxins.

Doris Day, M.D., clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University Langone Medical Center, says pollution can cause an uneven skin tone, accelerated aging and even skin cancer.

A landmark study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

This research involved comparing women who live in urban and rural environments for more than 24 years. The investigators found that those exposed to increased pollution suffered from more dark spots and wrinkling.

David Bank, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, the sun isn’t the only villain, now that we know how damaging pollution really is.

It is important to remember that toxins harmful to the skin and overall health can come from construction sites, fires, cars, and power plants and are released to the atmosphere.

The Environmental Protection Agency reveals that in 2012, about 83 million tons of pollution were emitted into the air in the United States.

Avoiding exposure to these pollutants can be difficult for those who live in the city, but the exposure can be reduced. It may also be wise to take measures helpful for cleansing the body from impurities, pollutants, and toxins.

While there is a wide range of skin cleansers available in the market today, it is worth mentioning that more and more scientists are investigating aloe vera’s cleaning agents.

According to studies, this medicinal plant contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that have been found beneficial for eliminating harmful germs and bacteria.

This is in addition to the anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant and soothing & cooling properties it contains.

It is also a powerful moisturizer that doesn’t leave the skin greasy and could work well on all skin types. It may even reduce redness, irritation, and puffiness that skin conditions like acne and eczema often produce.

Dermatologists have found aloe vera is gentle on the skin and could be used for removing makeup. It doesn’t just cleanse and moisturize but also produces anti-aging benefits.

DermaSafe Stretch Mark and Scar Cream is an excellent product to use for individuals who want to experience aloe vera’s skin health benefits.

While this cream is carefully crafted to reduce the visibility of scars and marks, it is loaded with the healing goodness of aloe vera. It also contains other natural ingredients like, Arnica, Cucumber, Elderberries, Wood Mallow, and Rutin.
