"Protection against skin allergies and pollution"

New Delhi [India]November 5 (NewsSee): According to a report from SAFAR (Air Quality and Weather, Research and Weather System), the pollution levels recorded in Delhi after Diwali were much higher than ever and almost completely toxic to the man.

Fine particles (airborne hazardous particles) were 836.1 μg / m³ (more than eight times the safety limit) and 624.2 μg / m³ (almost 10 times the safety limit). These numbers are only expected to increase each year unless appropriate action is taken, resulting in a clear outbreak of respiratory diseases and skin allergies for all age groups.

"This calls for immediate action on the part of the government and citizens, as PM particles act directly on the respiratory system and the skin, causing allergies that can have a long-term effect on the patient," said Dr. Deepali. Bhardwaj, one of the founders. The country's largest dermatologist, headquartered in the capital, says it's not only Diwali, but also environmental, emotional and other stresses that are exacerbating. And she thinks that 365 days, it is essential to protect yourself from allergies in the face of increasing pollution.

"The skin is the most sensitive organ because it is directly exposed to changes in our environment. Whether in bad weather, pollution or stress, our skin supports everything, often developing various allergies and reactions that we forget to notice initially because of our busy lives. It is important to take the steps that are required to address these reactions in order to avoid long-term problems, "she added.

Keeping planters in aloe vera, native tongue, Alecia palms and other indoor plants is a step that we all must do.

Consume enough water throughout the day and in the adult, the recommended amount is 4 to 5 liters / day. Wash your face with clean water after each visit in case of pollution.

Avoiding chemicals on the body in the form of jewelry / watches, etc., perfumes or deodorants is important to avoid triggering autoimmune skin disorders and skin allergies.

Wear sunscreen even if the sun does not help when you go out in the sun. The solar block must have barrier agents such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. It is with light that pollutants penetrate our skin and that ultraviolet rays are also emitted by various types of decorative lights for festivals. Sunscreen is therefore necessary and as a base before makeup at Diwali evenings is also essential.

In addition, if the face or body is dry, take immediate steps to stay hydrated, otherwise the side effects of the pollution will certainly increase accordingly, says Dr. Bhardwaj.

Add a few drops of olive oil such as olive, sesame or apricot in a bath bucket to bathe the neck down or use it for the last rinse after the shower to form a layer of oil on the body and face with moisturizers for dry or oily skin, as appropriate. The type of skin is the best way to fight against these triggers of allergies. For the face, use moisturizers rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and E.

Finally, if redness occurs immediately, apply cold water or ice to the area; apply a white curd and a gentle wash. If the festivities do not cause a superficial burn, do not apply a burn cream like a chemist or a friend, but you can insist on a visit to the doctor. Until then, you should only apply ice, cold water, curd or pure aloe vera gel. It is also wise to apply calamine lotion to soothe until you go to the doctor.

In addition, do not delay your visit to the doctor if you have a persistent cough or dry skin, as various new diseases and known previous skin and lung conditions are definitely growing regrettably. in India right now, so why ignore it?

As Delhi is affected by a dangerous level of air pollution, please take a diet rich in vitamin C, omega, tulsi, ginger, lemon and magnesium, such as cashews. For omega 3, take Walnut. These foods will help you reduce the effects of air pollution. As we are outside of what we are! So, maintain a healthy diet for a healthy life!
