A method for preventing the adhesion of an atmospheric toxic substance, in which a preparation for external application is applied to skin to prevent the adhesion of the atmospheric toxic substance to the skin, wherein the preparation for external application comprises components (A) and (B) as mentioned below and the ratio of the content of the component (A) to the content of the component (B), i.e., [(A)/(B)], in the preparation for external application is 0.30 to 5.0 inclusive by mass. Component (A): a metal oxide having an average primary particle diameter dA of 800 nm or less. Component (B): non-disintegrative particles having an average particle diameter DB of 1 to 10 μm inclusive. |
