Does smoking cigarettes affect my skin?

Recently we have been receiving some emails asking if smoking affects your skin damage. This was a great topic that we thought we would share with everybody! Medical studies have shown that cigarette smoking accelerates the skin’s normal aging process by damaging collagen and impairing blood flow to the skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots often appear 10-20 years sooner among smokers. This is why many smokers look so much older than their actual age.
