Nowadays, a healthy lifestyle is advocated, so many people are gradually quitting smoking, which is harmful to the human body. However, some friends feel that quitting smoking is very difficult, so they choose to continue smoking. But for women, nicotine in cigarettes is not only very harmful to human organs, but also has certain harm to human skin. This is why many female smokers are always prone to pigmentation and dark complexion. The specific harm of smoking to the skin is as follows:

When people smoke, harmful substances in the smoke will enter the human skin through the smoke, causing the skin to age rapidly. Therefore, men should always pay attention to cleansing their skin. They should wash it when they get home from get off work, and do a deep cleansing before going to bed. When using facial cleanser to clean the skin, you can make foam on your hands and then apply it on your face.

The harm of smoking to the skin:

Nicotine is the most deadly toxic substance contained in cigarettes. Since it can enter the human body through the skin, both smokers and those who inhale second-hand smoke will be poisoned. Smoking can prevent the body from absorbing vitamins. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect and can inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals. If you smoke for a long time, a large amount of this kind of waste will accumulate in the human body, protecting human cells from damage.

The smoke contains acetone, a toxic substance that can dissolve oils, make the skin dry and allergic, and is irritating to the skin. Long-term exposure can lead to skin aging and dullness.

Cigarette dust particles will stay in the sebum layer, forming a thin layer that is toxic and difficult to penetrate, making the skin prone to acne or inflammation. Due to poor blood circulation in the skin, the facial skin becomes pale, tired, dry and loses elasticity. The pores of the skin become larger, wrinkles are more likely to form, and at the same time, local micro-capillaries may rupture.

If you want your skin to be better, you must stay away from cigarettes, and even stay away from secondhand smoke. If your partner smokes, it is best to persuade him to quit smoking. Only in this way will our skin not be harmed by cigarettes.
