2. Don’t Smoke!
More than ever, you need to stop smoking! We now know all too well that smoking kills. It may be hard to quit that nasty habit, but if you’re not worried enough about dying from cancer then think of your skin. Smoking will ruin it! Not only does it accelerate the aging process of skin but it also decreases vitamin A and moisture in the skin, causing elasticity to break down.
However, quitting smoking actually rejuvenates the skin, according to a study from the International Association of Ecologic Dermatology. Researchers analyzed the skin of 64 female smokers for lines, vascular and pigmentation state, elasticity, brightness and texture. Before quitting, smoking aged the skin by nine years. But after quitting for nine months, researchers found that the biological age of the women’s skin reduced 13 years!
