Ok, so that sounds rather harsh - but it is true that city/town living can have a negative effect on your skin health!
Why?
To start carbon monoxide, the pollutant in car fumes, negatively effects the body. This causes and inflammation response which results in free radical damage to the skin. Free radical damage is an unstable atom where there is an imbalance of electrical charge - not important, but what IS important is that this will cause visible premature aging!!
Following this, sulphur, a major polluter in the air is dehydrating to the skin, having adverse affects on the skins pH and the process of desquamation - JARGON - but the result is a build up of dead skin cells which can cause lesions, highttened skin sensitivity and vulnerability to infection. Keep hydrated!
Living in a 'grimy' city, or frequent underground travel can lead to congestion = Blackheads.
On the other side COUNTRY LIVING is generally fresher and better oxygenated, therefore our country livers are less likely to be suffering from environmentally caused congestion!
SO... Is it time to pack up and move to the country yet??
