Smokin’ Skincare

Most women are vain when it comes to their physical appearance, who isn’t? I am guilty of that myself but not all women goes in great length to do a lifestyle check. Sophisticated women are labeled to be “smokers” but are they? For a woman who smokes and thinks that they are getting wrinkles all over means its disaster. Very true! Smoking is proven to cause more wrinkles because the skin is undernourished and starves oxygen thus resulting to drying and graying.

According to an article I read “nicotine is a powerful vasoconstrictor and restricts the ability of the blood vessel to deliver oxygen to the skin cells”. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin, these are fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking, such actions as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke may contribute to wrinkles. Aging can be slowed down, and you can do your part to promote a younger complexion even as you mature. All it takes is a little TLC, but start NOW! The sooner you start to nurture your skin the more chance you have of an age-less complexion. Don’t wait till your chance on achieving beautiful skin goes up in holy smokes!
