Does Smoking Rob You Of Your Facial Charm?
Good and healthy skin is one thing that everyone wants to have.
Skin originates from within. The food that we eat gets broken
into simpler substances and nutrients. These nutrients and
oxygen get mix with blood and are transported to all our body
parts through thousands of bloodstreams. Larger parts of these
nutrients get absorbed by the skin which is essential for
healthy stay of our body cells.
Internal health and external beauty are two sides of the same
coin. We get oxygen naturally through our breathing but smoking
results in inhaling of harmful carbon monoxide. Cigarettes not
only contain carbon monoxide but also contain poisonous gases
like ammonia, butane, nicotine, carbolic acid, formic aldehyde,
prussic acid, pyridine, parvoline, arsenic and cadmium. Carbon
monoxide, the most intoxicated gas mixes with the hemoglobin
present in the blood. Our blood cells absorb carbon monoxide gas
much faster than oxygen. In this way carbon monoxide displaces
oxygen in large quantity depriving our skin cells of their
healthy life. Skin and smoking are inversely related with each
other.
Skin has its own repairing system. Smoking destroys its natural
system and results in premature aging. At this stage skin loses
its natural glow and charm and develops a pale look.
These outcomes on the skin are catastrophic. Smoking deprives
skin of vitamin C which is an essential vitamin. Moreover it is
an unstable vitamin and cannot be produce by body. Vitamin C
helps the skin inn generating new healthy cells giving the skin
a youthful look. Breaking of the collagen results in wrinkles.
You have often noticed that chain smokers usually have sunken
eyes and dark circles around their eyes. It is because smoking
damages the cells making it scaly and causing wrinkles. It does
show its effect on lips also making the lips black and robbing
them of their natural appearance.
People spent much money on cigarettes and tobacco which gives
them nothing but diseases and side effects. Each one of us knows
that smoking is injurious to health still we are not able to
favour our self by quitting our worst habit.. Instead of
depriving our self of healthy and natural glow, we can spend
that much amount on facials and good skin rejuvenators. Taking a
balanced diet, rich in fibers help in elimination of wastes
resulting in healthy skin.
