Aging happens to everybody, but it happens even faster to people who smoke. Smoking cause many life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, oral health problems, heart problems and lung problems. We all know that smoking not only ages, but also kills. Chemicals in cigarettes harms practically every part of your body.
Smoking and Free Radicals
Smoking induces free radicals, which make your skin age faster. There are free radicals in the tar and gas of cigarette smoke. Reduction of vitamin C and A occurs from smoking. Fighting free radicals is hampered without adequate vitamin A and C.
A Smoking Facial
Smoking also breaks down the collagen in the skin, which keeps it smooth and supple. Nicotine limits the supply of oxygen to the skin, which will further dehydrate the skin. Puckering the face constantly and squinting your eyes from smoke can also cause expression wrinkles.
Aging Acceleration
Recognizing a smoker from a nonsmoker is easy from the telltale signs on their face. Smoking causes wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. Teeth and nails turn yellow. Watch your skin pale, sag and turn grayish and leathery. Expect to look 10 to 20 more years older than your natural age.
