Everyone who smokes! I have two news: good and bad. Bad - smoking seriously affects the skin (and not for the better), dermatologists even have a special term "smoker's face". The good news - there is a competent care for smokers who solves all skin problems.
Now let's talk about each news item in detail.
First with the bad. I have many friends smoke, and people are given it is difficult to quit this addiction. I will miss the hackneyed phrases about "Quit Smoking - get up on skis", "sooner wear out", etc. I am sure that with these phrases smokers face every day, and about the dangers of tobacco know. And about how they hate nonsmokers to such an extent that as many as are willing to deprive them of constitutional rights (this is our "friendly" people, huh).
I will not blame you, feed shock-pictures I am also not going to just run through the facts, what evil is smoking for our skin.
The smell of cigarette smoke, yellow fingers - this is minor compared with what happens with our skin. Here it is that smoking reduces the oxygen rate in the blood that comes our cells - this is serious. The less oxygen enters the cell, the more of them are killed.
Due to lack of oxygen less skin cells receive nutrients. Because of this, the skin starts to turn pale at first, then fade, and after a long time - to turn yellow.
Premature aging is because of eating disorders of the skin cells begin to regenerate more slowly (ie, updated). However, you rest in that the violation cell regeneration cigarettes lose the sun.
Cigarette smoke contains a decent free radicals, which pleased nakostylyat your collagen and elastin, will create chaos on the cellular level. Over time, the anarchy of free radicals from cigarette smoke will be visible on the face - skin texture deteriorates.
And as with the regeneration of the skin cells in smokers sheer trouble, any break in the skin (Whether it is a micro-wounds from small abrasive or traces of acne) heal more slowly than those who do not smokes.
Sadly, yes. But only at first glance ;-) Proper skin care will achieve such results that all of the above with a smoker will never face. And so it is now not even say the man is that he smokes. And all illustrate dermatologists about "smoker's face" and a detrimental effect on the skin can be taken to a museum in the future.
We turn to the good news!
Of course, if you quit smoking, many of the following does not apply. However, in practice, to take and quit smoking - not a simple matter.
1. Regular moisturizing and cleansing
So, we already know that cigarette smoke violates the norm of oxygen in the blood. Blood circulation, and then the cells do not get enough nutrients, because of this, the skin becomes dry, its tone is lost, and in general it looks unhealthy.
To this did not happen, the skin will need hydration, recovery and antioxidant action.
So that smokers should be when choosing a moisturizer to pay special attention to the composition:
1) in any necessary vitamins C and E (Vitamin C - is necessary, this is the best antioxidant), And it's great if they are in the top five in the composition (that means high concentration of vitamins);
2) oils or plant extracts, and gidrofiksatory: glycerol, hyaluronic acid or squalane.
Now, about purification. Smoker washing twice a day - a must! Because his skin accumulates more toxins than those who do not smoke. Facial wash should be a solid composition, for example, pay attention to the products Pleyana. Yes, dear, but excuse me: either quit, or do not regret investing in their beauty.
2. Caring for the skin around the eyes
This area faces always gets the most problems, the skin in this area thin because of the almost complete absence of fat, it also deprived of collagen and elastin. So on it fell more one problem: indoors or in the time of tightening the man squints that only shortens the path to premature wrinkles.
In this case, should strengthen dry and delicate skin around the eyes with antioxidants and vitamins. Suitable, in principle, a good moisturizer for the face (with the composition mentioned just above), but still need to get a good Korean patches, tissue and algae mask.
3. Skin care around the lips
Smokers with time around the upper lip wrinkles are formed and lost a clear path. This disease because cigarettes are very familiar cosmetologists, he even gave the term "smoker's wrinkles". After all, the first lip acquainted with a cigarette, and after that they get love horse dose of toxic substances.
Lip products (balms, Plumper, etc.) must necessarily go with antioxidants: vitamin C and extracts of green tea, grapes or blueberries.
So, it's simple. It is impossible to quit smoking and do not want to have unhealthy skin from signs of premature aging - will have to fork out for care. The main thing is that it works. You just have powerful antioxidant in the composition.
