TOBACCO, YOUR SKIN’S WORST ENEMY
Have you ever heard the phrase: “tobacco makes you old and ugly”?
Aware of the serious cardiovascular problems and the high mortality rate from lung cancer caused by tobacco, we sometimes forget that the consequences of smoking do not only manifest themselves in this way. Smoking also has destructive consequences for your image, appearance and and skin.
It’s hardly surprising then that distinguishing the skin of a smoker from that of a non-smoker is not difficult. Like it or not, the skin is a true reflection of the state of your health. Inhaling smoke for sheer pleasure is not healthy. More than 55 harmful components in a single cigarette, are enough to transform your face into the “face of the smoker”. Wrinkles, yellowing of the skin, bags under the eyes, drawn, prominent bones, grayish skin, yellow teeth … That is the result.
But what’s really in a single cigarette?
It’s not just Nicotine though. –Incidentally, Nicotine, besides being the perfect ally to create addiction to tobacco, has a vasoconstrictor effect that raises the level of vasopressin, a hormone that stimulates the contraction of muscle fibers.– Tobacco decreases the supply of oxygen to tissues, decreases the absorption of vitamins and alters collagen. On top of that, one cigarette induces the hydroxylation of estradiol, an estrogen steroid. Result? A decrease in estrogen, encouraging dryness and skin disease. At the same time, the reduction of estrogen leads to an increase in androgens; and more hair may appear.
¿Las buenas noticias? A diferencia de lo que ocurre con el daño provocado por los rayos ultravioleta, la mayoría de los efectos del tabaco en la piel son reversibles. Para que así sea, hay dos pasos que llevar a cabo:
The good news? Unlike the damage caused by ultraviolet rays, most of the effects of tobacco on the skin are reversible. For that to be the case, there are two steps you must take:
1. Give up smoking completely. Without exception
