The cult is really looking for things to fearmonger over (the question mark in the headline is not mine. Not sure why it is there)
How Climate Change Is Quietly Damaging Your Skin?
When we think about climate change, images of melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and extreme weather often come to mind. But there’s a more personal—and often overlooked—dimension to this global issue: your skin. Yes, the largest organ of your body is silently bearing the brunt of a changing climate. From increased UV radiation to humidity fluctuations, climate change is influencing skin health in subtle but significant ways.
Global temperatures have steadily climbed over the past century, and with them, heat-related skin issues are on the rise. Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures can exacerbate conditions like:
- Heat rashes and hives: Sweat ducts can become blocked, leading to irritation and inflammation.
- Rosacea and eczema: These conditions are often aggravated by environmental stressors like heat and pollution.
- Acne flare-ups: Increased sweating can clog pores and worsen breakouts, especially in humid climates.
Yes, you’re sweating because of 1.7F increase in global temperatures since 1850. You can really notice.
As the ozone layer thins, more ultraviolet (UV) rays are reaching the Earth’s surface. This intensification of UV exposure accelerates:
- Skin aging: UV radiation breaks down collagen, leading to premature wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity.
- Skin cancer: Higher UV exposure increases the risk of all forms of skin cancer, including melanoma, one of the deadliest types.
- Photosensitivity: Certain medications and skincare products may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, compounding the risks.

What You Can Do: Protecting Your Skin in a Changing Climate
Despite the looming threats, you’re not powerless. Here’s how to keep your skin resilient:
- Use broad-spectrum SPF every day, even when it’s cloudy. Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside.
- Cleanse thoroughly to remove pollutants and dirt, especially if you live in an urban area.
- Hydrate and moisturize to maintain a strong skin barrier—look for products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
- Wear protective clothing like wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses.
- Invest in air purifiers if you’re in a high-pollution area or wildfire zone.
- Consult a dermatologist if you notice unusual changes in your skin or if you suffer from chronic skin issues.
These are literally things you should do anyhow, and have nothing to do with ‘climate change’….oh, right, the cult thinks everything is part of their cult.
