Her videos rapidly went viral, with many viewers leaving comments to relate their own experiences. One person commented, "That's so true." Another said, "I assumed it was just me." A third stated, "My hair gets so oily by lunchtime, but it doesn't appear like that at work. "I develop allergies."
Common symptoms include dryness, dullness, and irritation, which is aggravated by air conditioning and low humidity. Meanwhile, flat, dry hair can be caused by extended exposure to workplace air. Air pollution can also cause wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. It has been shown that pollutants can block pores and cause acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Air pollution comprises particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide, and ozone, which can enter the skin and cause oxidative stress and inflammation. This can cause skin damage, accelerated ageing, and even skin cancer.
