A member asked:
I'm wondering what effect does smoking have on your skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoking: Great question! smoking prematurely causes loosening (laxity) and ages the skin by working on the structural proteins in the skin, collagen and elastin. Stopping smoking and avoiding the sun may be the 2 most important things anyone can do for the long-term health of their skin!
