But what is it actually doing to our skin? In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid unpack the science behind pollution and skin ageing and explain why it might be affecting your skin far more than you realise. From traffic fumes to candles, cooking fumes and indoor air quality, pollution isn’t just something you encounter on busy roads. In fact, the air inside your home may expose your skin to even higher concentrations of pollutants. So how exactly does pollution accelerate ageing? What does it do to your skin barrier, pigmentation and collagen? And most importantly what can you actually do about it. What works to prevent the damage pollution causes - what actually helps protect your skin? This episode, as always, focuses on the evidence-based strategies dermatologists actually recommend. If you want healthier, calmer, more resilient skin, even if you live in a polluted place, this is what you need to know.
