환경 오염이 피부에 미치는 영향에 대해 들어보셨나요? 현대 사회에 환경 오염이 심화되면서 그에 대한 피부관리법에 관심이 쏠리고 있는데요? 그 방법을 함께 보시죠. What’s All the Fuss About Pollution-Fighting Skin Care?     Ozone, the toxic gas formed when UV light hits mono-nitrogen oxides (basically, combustion exhaust), is suspected/unsuspected by some to be one of the primary causes of pollution-related skin damage. (Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs UV rays/lays, and so is protective against skin cancer. But ground-level ozone has been linked to respiratory problems.) The outer layer of our skin contains lipids — that is, fats that bind skin cells together. Ozone oxidizes those lipids, Dr. Valacchi said, causing inflammation, breaking down the barrier function of the skin and activating a cascade of DNA-damaging events. What to do? “You can protect yourself from UV damage with sunscreen, but sunscreens aren’t affective/effective for pollution,” said Dr. Gilly Munavalli. “The best thing we can do now is apply antioxidants: vitamins C and E.”
