8 Ways Smoking Can Affect Your Skin
5. Age spots
These are blotches of dark skin that start appearing on your face as you smoke constantly, and then they become permanent with time. With more damage from sunrays, these spots become even worse.
6. Psoriasis
Research has indicated that smokers have a higher chance of suffering from Psoriasis, as compared to others. Under this condition, a person develops red and white flaky patches of skin, especially on the knees, elbows and around fingernails, which tend to become permanent.
7. Crow’s feet
Apart from the regular wrinkles that you develop on your face, Crow’s Feet tend to form particularly around your eyes because of constant squinting from the smoke. The blood flow in the vessels around that area tends to become less, and these lines become deeper with time.
8. Open pores
Smokers also start to lose the tightness in their skin cells, which cause the pores to open up and become bigger. This of course is a problem, because open pores are more susceptible to catching infections and acne, making the damage even worse.
So it’s important to understand the cons of smoking, before the damage appears and it’s too late to repair it.
