Étiquette : how wildfire smoke can affect skin

Wildfires are dangerous for the environment, fatal to wildlife, destructive to animal and human habitation, and detrimental to human health. The skin is not safe, from its harms either. This blog article will discuss how wildfire smoke can affect skin health and how to prevent these effects. Here is a brief overview.

How wildfire smoke can affect skin

Wildfire has negative effects on skin health, its smoke containing particles that are small enough to enter the pores and damage the skin. It can cause early skin aging, irritation, redness, itchiness, inflammation, acne breakouts, and skin dryness. Moreover, scientific studies show that it can trigger flare-ups of eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

You can prevent these effects by using protective strategies. You can protect your skin with physical barriers, cleanse and exfoliate regularly, moisturize, apply sunscreen, use antioxidants, use an air purifier, drink plenty of water, and eat healthy.
