What Smoking Does To Your Skin
Does smoking lead to wrinkles? Yes, smoking accelerates the normal aging process by causing a narrowing of the blood vessels your skin. Depleted oxygen in an impaired blood flow, slows important nutrients, such as vitamin A from reaching the skin. Smoking also attacks collagen and elastin, the fibers that give your skin its elasticity and firmness.
In a recent Korean study current smokers had a higher degree of developing facial wrinkling at an earlier age than non-smokers and ex-smokers. Past smokers, who smoked heavily at a younger age revealed less facial wrinkling than longterm smokers. Other evidence suggests that the age accelerating effects of smoking may be due to increasing the production of an enzyme responsible for breaking down collagen found in skin.
