Skin Care Ingredients that Protect Skin from Pollution, Marijuana and Excess Alcohol

Air pollutants have negative effects on the skin causing atopic dermatitis, acne, dark spots on skin, skin sensitivity, and wrinkles. Pollution and toxins from smoking, vaping, car exhaust, excess alcohol, and other toxins can age skin.

Using protective skin care  ingredients can help the skin defend itself from exposure to cigarettes, cannabis smoke and vaping by-products.

Over indulging in alcohol and marijuana are not the only substances that can cause skin damage to the skin.  There are many sources of pollution that we need to protect our skin from.

Car pollution is very dangerous for skin because it can contain:

• Particulate matter (PM),
• Heavy metals,
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) containing benzopyrene (BaP)
• Ultraviolet radiation (UVR)
