Unfortunately, not all jobs are equal in skin health. One of the worst jobs for the skin involves chemicals and other hazardous materials that cause skin irritation, wrinkles, dryness, and other problems.
Recent research has shown that workers in the scientific and pharmaceutical industries have the most skin problems. Employees often work late or night shifts or air-conditioned environments, all of which can lead to dry skin. If you work in this industry, you should use moist creams.
On the other hand, working outdoors in the sun and sometimes without enough protection can lead to sunburn and premature aging.
Are you under a lot of stress at work? It can also impact your skin. Many factors, such as air conditioning, artificial light, unhealthy food, and staring at a computer screen for hours, can affect the appearance of the skin.
1 THE OFFICE. It is alarming that you spend most of your day sitting down, and the average person has four devices between smartphones, tablets, and PCs. You look at your phone up to 150 times a day. These are both signs of a sedentary lifestyle and a cause of wrinkles.
People who spend a lot of time in front of computers are at risk of developing what is known as “smartphone wrinkles” on the forehead and sides of the eyes, caused by repeated contractions of the facial muscles.
Another common difficulty for people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer is prematurely aging the skin due to the blue light of digital screens, with light intensities up to 1,000 times higher than the visual comfort threshold. Poor posture makes you more likely to get overweight or have cellulite.
2 OUTDOORS. Those who lead an outdoor life benefit from contact with nature, but constantly expose their face and hands to the aggression of the sun, wind, cold, and water. If we add to this pollution, there will be premature aging, with well-marked wrinkles, discolored, inelastic skin, and consequently, little toned. You need to take care of your skin, using sunscreen and a diet rich in antioxidants.
3 STANDING ALL DAY. Those who spend a lot of time on their feet, such as saleswomen, servers, and teachers, tend to have issues with the skin on their legs, cellulite, and problems with the lower legs. To reduce the heaviness in the legs and improve skin elasticity and cellulite, mesotherapy twice a year is helpful. The mesotherapy approach involves the injection of a cocktail of drugs tailored to the patient’s situation, and is effective in poor circulation.
4 FLIGHT. Flight attendants endure a pressurized environment for many hours a day, causing dryness in their skin and mucous membranes. There is a tendency to develop diseases related to the circulatory system of the lower limbs. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene with sessions of regenerative sclerotherapy to restore correct circulation.
To counteract the stressful rhythms to which flight operators are subjected, they should keep their skin healthy and smooth by using good skincare products.
WITH THE HANDS. Cooks, pastry chefs, goldsmiths, physiotherapists, and artists all have professions that require constant use of their hands. Like the skin on the face, environmental factors also stress their hands.
When the skin of the hands is exposed to harsh washing, cold, wind, sun, and detergents, it loses moisture and elasticity. The hands also begin to look older as we get older. To restore the tone and make the skin look nourished, toned, and shiny, you need to undergo treatments that stimulate new collagen growth.
Most people don’t think about the harmful effects of their job on their skin, but certain professions can have severe repercussions on the health of our skin.
Other the worst jobs for the skin:
Cleaning. This job involves harsh chemicals that can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and chapped.
Gardening. Many dirt, pollen, and other irritants can cause gardener skin reactions.
Construction. Working in the sun, wind, and dust can cause sunburn, dryness, and irritation.
AGING. The skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and more prone to bruising with age. The skin becomes dry because of reduced oil production. Wrinkles emerge, especially on the face and arms. Age spots and warts appear on the skin. Muscles become weaker if you do not consume enough protein or work regularly at the gym.
