In our rather health aware society we are bombarded with a list of things that we know can cause cancer. Smoking will most likely lead to lung cancer. Your genetic makeup could lead to breast cancer. Even the over consumption of green beans offers a cancerous risk. Because we hear so much about what might kill us one day, we often start blocking out the information to prevent being overwhelmed by eating, drinking, breathing, or touching anything.
Many women actually quit smoking out of vanity rather than concerns over their health, and there certainly isn’t anything wrong with that. When you’re in your late teens or even your early twenties there is a common factor in picking up cigarette smoking. It’s a choice. Not one of us didn’t feel a terrible feeling in our chest and throat, which often led to coughing, the first time we lit up. And yet we went back and did it again, and again, and yet again.
Image had so much to do with why we started and for women, it can be exactly why we quit. That image became part of us. At least until we looked at the reflection in the mirror and wondered who that old looking lady was staring back at us. Most women in their thirties that started smoking in their early twenties will develop a crease wrinkle between their eyebrows first. Then crows’ feet and slight wrinkles around the mouth start to appear. Discolored facial skin and an unattractive texture come with the territory. When we consider the consequence of weight gain over the repercussion of wrinkles, quitting seems like a better choice.
Weight gain is actually a controllable process, provided that we tackle it with the will to reduce our calories and increase our exercise. Wrinkles are not so controllable, and the poor skin condition usually wins the battle. Besides, if you stop smoking you will have more energy and time to fit in some exercise. It’s really a pretty good trade off.
As you kick the butts, your facial skin will need treatment from the inside of your body as well as outer treatment. Good food and no smoke work for the inside. Dry skin care products combined with skin care cream that is based on the essential collagen, elastin, and powerhouse antioxidants.
These three key ingredients are the three combative ingredients for a smoker’s skin. When you inhale, remember that you’re taking in chemicals that stay in your blood stream. These are free radicals and they encourage aging in the skin. Production of the natural collagen and elastin is significantly reduced in a smoker.
These three basic elements combine to produce the heavy wrinkling and the poor skin quality that you are motivated to improve. Such a detail can not be considered small when it encourages more women to quit than health risks or warnings.
