Smoking damages the color of the nails
Smoking damages the nails and its color and is a risk factor for diseases such as psoriasis, and also slows down the healing of wounds.
Smoking damages skin repair
It is important to remember that with age there is a decrease in the skin's ability to renew and repair itself, including wound healing - this is true mainly for diabetic patients but not only - this means that smoking can delay wound healing.

Wrinkles and wrinkles
mainly around the mouth.
But not only that, smoking causes a significant decrease in the quality of the skin, an increase in the chances of cancer and the appearance of faded skin with a characteristic color of yellow brown - lifeless.
In addition, smoking damages the levels of vitamin A in the skin.
Vitamin A has many roles in the activity of the skin, which actually controls and regulates most of its functions, the division of cells and the rate of their regeneration, the creation of collagen and elastin and more.
It is an important factor in protecting the skin from damage, including smoking damage.
Low levels of it in the skin result in a greater chance of developing skin damage and a mature appearance.

the skin renews itself - even if you have reduced the number of cigarettes you use, or you have decided to quit smoking -
some of the damage has already been done, but there is the ability to recover.
Therefore, the sooner you stop smoking, the
more efficiently the skin will be able to repair itself.
And finally, a tip for smokers,
it is important that you take care in the winter and of course in the summer about protection from the sun, a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.
