Conclusion Particulate matter, cigarette smoke, ultraviolet radiation, heavy metals, ground-level ozone, exhaust fumes, and blue light are all part of environmental pollution. Today’s spa consumers are beginning to realize how long-term exposure is affecting their skin every day. Prolonged exposure to high levels of air pollutants can have a devastating effect on your clients’ skin. Premature and accelerated aging, free radicals, dry skin, oxidation, inflammation, melanin stimulation, sensitive skin, dark spots, and degradation of elastin and collagen are consequences of environmental pollution.
As air pollution in urban areas continues to rise, estheticians, spa directors, skin care salons, and spa brands need to stay informed about current offerings and newly developing antipollution ingredients to fight environmental pollution with a focus on “shields” or physical protection, prevention, and repair.
