Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Epidemiological evidence links exposure to poor air quality to lentigines and wrinkles.•Experimental studies provide mechanistic explanations involving oxidative stress.•Polluted air may hasten skin ageing through indirect systemic effects via the lung and/or direct effects on cutaneous tissue.•Prevention measures would need to combine strategies that target both ‘routes’.•Air pollution is one of several environmental stressors that combined, may have additive/synergistic effects on the skin.
