Facial Benefits For Women Who Quit Smoking
Did you know that if you were to avoid everything that could potentially cause cancer you would literally have to live in a bubble? Even then, your genetic make up influences your risk for breast cancer, colon cancer, and even bone cancer. Since we are consistently warned of the health risks of everything inside and outside of our bodies, the risk often doesn’t seem real enough to quit smoking to avoid cancer. We hear about health risks so often we rarely heed them.
Many women actually quit smoking out of vanity rather than concerns over their health, and there certainly isn’t anything wrong with that. When you’re in your late teens or even your early twenties there is a common factor in picking up cigarette smoking. It’s a choice. Not one of us didn’t feel a terrible feeling in our chest and throat, which often led to coughing, the first time we lit up. And yet we went back and did it again, and again, and yet again.
Image had so much to do with why we started and for women, it can be exactly why we quit. That image became part of us. At least until we looked at the reflection in the mirror and wondered who that old looking lady was staring back at us. Most women in their thirties that started smoking in their early twenties will develop a crease wrinkle between their eyebrows first. Then crows’ feet and slight wrinkles around the mouth start to appear. Discolored facial skin and an unattractive texture come with the territory. When we consider the consequence of weight gain over the repercussion of wrinkles, quitting seems like a better choice.
We can use our wits and good judgment in order to avoid and counteract weight gain. Poor skin and early wrinkles are not so easy to control without expensive practices and a fortune in cosmetics.
For your facial skin you’re going to want to attack the problem from both the inside and the outside. You can reverse some of the damage once you’re no longer puffing on a smoke. You want to improve your dry skin care to help with the texture and then apply skin care cream that is loaded with collagen, elastin, and antioxidants.
These three basic ingredients are the key elements to repairing the damage that the free radicals from smoking have caused. The chemicals in cigarette smoke stay locked in the blood and eventually turn into the free radicals that control and damage cell development. The natural production of any of these basic essentials is drastically reduced in a woman that smokes.
Health warnings are often ignored until it is too late. Looking at your reflection daily and knowing that you are aging your facial skin by years with every pack is a strong motivator for quitting.
