- Abstract
Skin reflects our emotions and it is a link between internal and external environment. It provides individual identity in the society & maintains beauty and personality. Changes in the skin color may indicate homeostatic imbalances in the body. The human skin and mainly upper layer of the epidermis plays the role of barrier, but is also one of the first and major targets of air pollutants. Air pollutants include those of environmental origin. The action of various air pollutants may be amplified in the presence of other air pollutants and with the interaction of UVR, and form major active component of pro-oxidant smog. In Ayurveda all skin disease comes under the umbrella of Kushta roga. Here in this paper we are discussing about some most common skin disease due to environment.
