Smoking is not only injurious to health but also bad for your skin. Here are the effects of smoking on skin care :
  1. Smoking makes the skin dry
    Women who smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day had a moisture level lower than non-smokers. As a result, the skin becomes dry or dehydrated. Thus diminished skin elasticity and may peel.
    Add serum or praserum that can help lock moisture. But do not be too heavy as a moisturizer. Serum can help prevent skin dryness throughout the day, and usually the texture is light so it is not too heavy for the skin.
  2. Skin aging faster
    We all know that many of the chemicals contained in cigarettes can destroy collagen and elastin which affects the elasticity and suppleness. When smoking, you will lose collagen and elastin, and consequently had the skin condition was deteriorating, the skin more visible wrinkles and skin texture so it is not even.
    As soon as you were 30, do a treatment that focuses on the remodeling of collagen and elastin. For smokers, there is no such thing as too soon to look for skin care products that fight aging.
    If previously only available as a main ingredient variation retinol anti-aging, now there are more options. Look for products labeled as anti-aging. 
  3. Your skin will look dull and pale.
    Your skin get the nutrients from the blood. As we've heard that smokers have a slower metabolism and consequently, the supply of nutrients to the skin was running very slow. This is why smokers often dull and pale-skinned.
    Choose a serum that can fight skin color imbalance. Today there are many options serum specifically addressing this issue are not the same as increasing the brightness of the skin.
  4. Smoking makes the eyes and full lips wrinkles
    Smokers more likely to use their lips and the muscles tend to squint when sucking or blowing smoke. No wonder if both of these activities can lead to wrinkles. Since lips are the first body parts that are exposed poison, the wrinkles on the lips even deeper.
    Do not ever forget to wear lip balm to provide additional nutrients to the lips. Imagine, those who do not smoke just need lip balm, especially the smoke.
  5. Smoking makes hands dry and wrinkles more apparent
    Parts of the hand holding the cigarette will be exposed to toxins first and will age faster.
    Use hand cream, that's the only solution that can be offered. Hand cream will nourish and additional protection.
