Did you know that most experts consider smoking the number one cause of premature aging? They say that nicotine can destroy collagen and elastin in your skin. They even go so far as to say it effects the tiny blood vessels in your face that feed and nourish the skin. And if that isn't scarry enough, you are using the same muscles around your mouth every time you smoke which can ultimately cause deep creases. I guess I have noticed that many women who smoke do look a bit weathered around the edges?
As we get older the cell renewal cycle of our skin slows down. This can cause the build up of dead skin cells which can also add years to how we look. Exfoliating these dead skin cells is one of the fastest ways to look younger, aside from not smoking.
I don't mean to harp on the necessity of not smoking. I am a bit overweight and truly understand how difficult kicking a habit can be. But if you choose to abuse your skin, the very least you can do is exfoliate. I've posted this product before in my May 9th 2010 blog. So I'll just simply say...SeneGence's exfoliator is unique, it's econimical and it REALLY WORKS! You've just got to try it...even if you don't smoke. www.longlastinglips.com
