Pimples can be caused or aggravated by exposure to particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide. Inflamed and pus-filled rashes are more common than black and white spots due to air pollution.

You should make an appointment with a dermatologist or beautician if you are very worried or if your skin condition is getting worse. The doctor will help you to determine the pH value of your skin. Normally, it should be around 5.5. If the pH is different, the skin barrier can be broken.

Once the specialist has determined the pH, he or she will help you choose products that will maintain the level or bring it back to normal.
