Although the exact mechanisms of environmental pollutants can influence skin condition, it is believed that chronic exposure to air pollutants can compromise skin barrier and by increasing production of free radicals, can lead to oxidative damage, thereby leading to progressive inflammation in the deep skin layers not limited to dermis.
