Rain Waters Effect on Your Skin

• In popular culture, the idea of couples walking
  through the rain is often romanticized and made
  to look glamourous. Dr. Ruth Treiber herself
  loves titles like Singing in the Rain. But as
  we at Treiber Dermatology, like most
  dermatologists are a bit torn on the subject.
  Some experts feel that rain water has negative
  effects on the skin because of toxicity, while
  some feel rain water in generally quite pure and
  therefore have no effect at all.
• One of the first things to consider on this topic
  is your location and the geography of your area.
  Areas with a higher concentration of vehicles, or
  industrial factories such as New York City, and
  its surrounding areas, have higher rates of
  pollution. These pollutants can dilute the
  atmosphere and raise the toxicity levels of the
  rain water. This is the case for the city Rye, NY
  where Treiber Dermatology is located, as its
  proximity to NYC, and the level of congestion and
  vehicles on road cause toxicity in the rain
  water.
• Another thing to consider is that the first
  rainstorm after a long period of dry weather is
  often the most polluted and worst for your skin.
  They often pull all the pollutants from the
  atmosphere from this dry period and empty them
  out during the rainy period. These pollutants can
  cause skin rashes, infections to exposed areas,
  and in extreme cases cause burns in the outer
  dermal layer. At Treiber Dermatology many of our
  patients who suffer from skin issues such as
  psoriasis and eczema have reported that over
  exposure to rain at certain times has caused
  outbreaks and severe itching.
• Despite the negative effects of rain exposure,
  there are a few positives. In certain temperate
  climates or during rainy seasons, when rain
  becomes far more frequent, the exposure can
  actually benefit your skin. Rain water (during
  long period of rain) is the purest form of
  non-alkaline soft water, that is water that is
  low in concentrations of calcium, magnesium and
  other ions that can erode the skins out layer
  after prolonged exposure. Soft water is
  essentially water that is heavily filtered,
  through natural means, such as at the drainage
  basin of rivers. Some experts even say that
  bathing in soft water can help cleanse the skin
• At Treiber Dermatology, Dr. Ruth Treiber MD has
  seen and treated patients with a number of
  different skin ailments and issues for many
  years, so if you feel as though youve been
  adversely affected by the rain or sun or any
  other conditions contact us today!
