Скачать или смотреть 5 striking effects of smoking on your skin - Dr Hiba Injibar, Dermasurge Clinic

31st of May is World No Tobacco Day and I wanted to highlight 5 striking effects of smoking on your skin. Smoking is one of the most unhealthy things you can do to your body, and your skin is no exception.

1. Smoking causes wrinkles and premature ageing.
Smoking narrows the blood vessels in your skin, which decreases blood flow and therefore oxygen and nutrients. This results in wrinkles, sagging skin, and a generally unhealthy-looking complexion.

2. Smoking decreases blood flow, which means less oxygen and nutrients get to your skin cells. This can lead to a dull, sallow complexion.

3. Smoking increases your risk of skin cancer.
Smoking damages the DNA in your skin cells, which can lead to skin cancer. In fact, smokers are four times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma, and three times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma, than non-smokers.

4. Smoking makes acne worse.
Smoking decreases the blood flow to your skin, which can make acne worse. A 2009 study sampling over 1000 people found an extremely high correlation between smoking and the amount of acne the participants had.

5. Smoking can cause psoriasis.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes the overgrowth of skin cells, and smoking can trigger it. In fact, people who smoke are two to three times more likely to develop psoriasis than non-smokers.

If you smoke, quit. It's the best thing you can do for your skin—and your health.
