Particulate matter and skin effects

Particulate Matter (PM), which are harmful suspended contaminants in the air, form the majority of air pollution. Theses suspended pollution particles are of varying size are usually inhaled and absorbed into the body causing increased risk go pulmonary and cardiovascular disease and also increasing the risk of cancer5,6.PM’s are able to enter the skin via two possible routes; (1) the appendageal route (hair follicles) and (2) through the stratum corneum to affect the viable epidermis and dermis7.

When applied directly to the skin, PM’s are known to cause alterations in the skin barrier8,9 and also increase the risk of inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, acne and psoriasis and even influence the development of skin cancer10,11,12. From an aesthetic perspective, PM’s together with UVR play a significant role in the acceleration of extrinsic ageing as well as a 20% increase facial hyperpigmentation13
