Vanitas still life paintings of the 17th century remind of the transient nature of existence. This reflection is relevant in modern context, particularly in office environments that may contribute to skin and hair deterioration. Social media discussions highlight concerns over the effects of 'office air.' Experts indicate that air conditioning lowers humidity, increasing moisture loss in the skin. Dry skin may trigger conditions like acne, while dry scalps can lead to excess oil production. Poor ventilation and indoor pollutants further exacerbate these issues.
The air in an office can affect skin and hair due to a number of factors, including reduced humidity levels from air conditioning and heating systems.
Air conditioning and heating systems can lower the humidity levels in the air, which can lead to increased transepidermal water loss, resulting in drier, tighter or flakier skin.
Office air may reduce humidity and cause dry skin, which may then trigger inflammatory skin conditions such as acne or dermatitis.
When the scalp is dry, your body may produce extra sebum to compensate, leading to a greasy look.
