Smoking and Skin — Effects and Short/Long-Term Outcomes

Cigarette advertising has suggested its addicts possess an abundance of style, sophistication and discernment to encourage and protect their habit. In reality, smoking and skin are enemies and the effects of smoke chemicals are an all-round ticket to a poorer quality, shorter life.

Smoking is critical in damaging cells and tissues.

Every puff of cigarette smoke contains enough free radicals for a "free radical hit" to every cell of the body.

Smoking and looking to have physically healthy skin for your age?

There's really no chance.

Little chance today, and absolutely no chance tomorrow.

Smoking is approximately as damaging as daily sun exposure without complete photoprotection.

There is some argument that it is even more damaging due to the photo-toxicity of smoke on skin and because smoke chemicals damage the dermis at a level even deeper than UVA rays.

Either way, those who smoke and aren't utterly photoprotected can typically expect a real intensification of the main signs of premature skin aging over and above non-smokers with a history of less perfect photoprotection.

Individuals who smoke, even while in their twenties, almost always have markedly more prominent and permanent wrinkling than their non-smoking peers.

How much more prominent? It doesn't take Visia — a cosmetic dermatologist can often spot smoker's skin from across a room.

The effect of smoking on skin is impossible to counteract entirely with even the most expertly constructed dermatological skin treatment regime, followed with flawless dedication and attention to fine detail.

So how effective are the usual beauty salon approaches to smoker's skin? The group here recommend that they're less effective than makeup.

All the oxygen skin care in the world won't breathe new life into a complexion facing an incessant fight for lean resources.

Possession of a rare genetic predisposition to ward off premature skin deterioration probably represents the best protection.

"Best" in the same sense that Russian Roulette is safer with one bullet rather than two.

The components of cigarette smoke (detailed in brief on the side of cigarette packets) are known to degrade elastic fibres of the dermis — responsible for your skin's firmness, the support of your features and the maintenance of a plump, naturally moist complexion.

They do this with such great affinity and immediate effect as if to be purpose-made for the task.

Make no mistake, smoke chemicals are active, permanent skin-slackening agents. They work comprehensively, and they're stronger than anything skin care has to offer.

They act topically, by irritating the epidermis as smoke flows over it, depositing toxic materials; and systemically on the dermis via the bloodstream.

Smoke chemicals affect your skin's genomic DNA.

Emphysema is related to this kind of smoke-induced wrinkling as elastic fibres in the reticular dermis of the lungs are similarly affected.

Smoking and skin do not get along well. Short and long-term effects are a hopeless hinderance to desirable appearance, and moreover smoking ensures reduced quality of life by negatively affecting every bodily system.

From 2007, a University of Michigan's Health System study finds that portions of smoker's skin which haven't been routinely exposed to the sun (for example buttock and breast skin) are nevertheless prematurely aged.
