[Canale sanitario/Rapporto completo]After enjoying the barbecue, itching, rashes or rashes started to show! Chen Yuying, deputy director of the Yafeng Skin Care Clinic, pointed out that this is because the charcoal fire from the barbecue will produce a large amount of high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can make the body into an “allergic state. “and induce skin allergies, asthma and contact dermatitis (redness, itching, peeling, etc.), acne symptoms and accelerated skin aging!
Chen Yuqing’s Facebook page “Chen Yuxing dermatologist“It shows that PAHs are also important factors of air pollutants and are also toxic chemicals classified as Category 1 by the Environmental Protection Agency. As long as carbon-containing fuels (fuel oil, charcoal), edible oil and incomplete combustion of food itself or thermal cracking can produce PAHs, can be airborne Chronic inflammations in the human body and even the possibility of cancer.

PAHs can trigger allergies
Chen Yuxuan said that the smoke produced by charcoal and oil droplets from the fire during barbecuing contains PAHs, which also stick to food. PAHs will also be produced when the food itself is grilled, so PAHs will be inhaled from the air. or enter the body through food. According to the research, the high-temperature barbecue will produce a large amount of PAHs in a short period of time: the greater the amount of PAHs on contact, the more skin allergies or asthma will be induced, and the skin may have contact dermatitis (redness, itchiness). , peeling, etc.), symptoms of pimples.
PAHs accelerate skin aging
Chen Yuying said PAHs will also affect skin flora and accelerate skin aging! Since the skin surface of the human body has a variety of symbiotic bacteria, fungi and other skin microbial flora, the balance of the flora is very important for the health of our skin, which can maintain normal physiological and metabolic functions and maintain the immune state. . When the skin is exposed to PAHs, changes in skin cell metabolism and changes in the increase or decrease in commensal flora are prone to acne (such as acne) and dandruff, the structure and stability of the skin cells are also prone to dandruff. skin will be shrunk and cellular DNA will be damaged. , it is easy to cause skin aging, pigmentation, dermatitis and so on.
How cooking affects IPA levels
Chen Yuying pointed out that high-fat foods will produce more PAHs and the cooking method will also affect the amount of PAHs: boiling and steaming produce less PAHs; frying and grilling produce more IPA; and natural gas heating also produces fewer PAHs than coal, coal and wood. Induction cookers and other methods that do not burn do not produce PAHs. Therefore, he suggested that barbecues should be made using electric grills, ovens, induction cookers and other appliances as much as possible instead of traditional charcoal barbecues.
Blocks PAHs from daily air pollution
● Separation cream:To reduce direct contact of dirt on the skin or clog pores, lotions and sunscreens also perform part of the function of isolating air pollution.
● Moisturize at any time:When the barbecue is close to the oven, the skin loses moisture quickly and the season is changing towards autumn, so you can do a moisturizing spray or use a mask to moisturize and maintain at the right time.
● Drinking water:In addition to using external skin care products, drinking water is the foundation of skin health, regulating the balance of electrolytes and pH in the body, so that the skin can be balanced with oil and water.
● Wear long-sleeved clothes and pants, avoid the direction of smoke, and clean and change the meat immediately after cookingthey are a good way to reduce the exposure and absorption of PAHs.
Chen Yuying said that people who believe “barbecue is only charcoal grilled” should be thoroughly cleaned after roasting. If acne or dermatitis occurs, be sure to take care of it so you don’t leave acne scars or pigmentation. It is advised.You should also seek a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.The use of safe antibiotic ointments or oral medicines and acid treatment can inhibit excessive oil secretion by the sebaceous glands and help normal keratin metabolism. If you accidentally produce acne scars, you can also use whitening products or laser treatments as directed by your doctor to quickly restore an elastic and flawless face!
