Of all the controllable causes of wrinkles the biggest one has to be smoking. Wrinkle prone, aging skin is susceptible to a less than ideal appearance anyway, a smoking habit can make it dramatically worse. Any skin care expert you want to ask will all say the same thing. Stop smoking now to improve the quality and appearance of your skin. This habit it known to further dry out the skin, put unnecessary stress and strain on the skin and muscles around the mouth, and even discolor the skin. The harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke are also pore clogging and irritating to the delicate skin.

Everyone talks about the wrinkle causing effects to the mouth area, however there are other areas of the face harmed by smoking.

• Forehead
• Eyes
• Nose
• Mouth

Any repetitive face motion is sure to eventually cause wrinkles. In the case of the forehead, smoking causes the skin to crease and wrinkle with every puff. This constant motion will ultimately leave a lasting mark. The result is the appearance of forehead furrows or frown lines. One more reason to decide to quit.

The skin surrounding the eyes is very delicate anyway. Add to that the squinting in the cigarette smoke, the toxins in it, and the repetitive motion and they all add up to a recipe perfect for wrinkles and fine lines. All of the anti wrinkle cream in the world won’t do its job up against those kinds of odds. Protect this area by limiting your exposure to cigarette smoke and don’t smoke yourself.

The nose and mouth are closely related in terms of movement and sharing close quarters on the face. Those same lines and wrinkles that turn up around the mouth are also damaging to the skin on and around the nose. Just like on the sides of the mouth, deep furrows can form around the nose. In addition to the deep wrinkles, the tiny fine lines only add to the appearance of dull, old skin. We have all seen those people whose lipstick bleeds into the tiny lines around their mouths. Avoiding smoking is one way you can aid Mother Nature and reduce the risk of that problem yourself.

The moral of the story is to stop smoking and use healthy skin care products, such as Skin Original. Wrinkles love every opportunity to form on your lovely face. Don’t help them out. Stop wrinkles in their tracks and take this opportunity to develop good skin care habits.
