Smoking vs Beauty

"About 250 million women in the world are daily smokers. About 22 percent of women in developed countries and 9 percent of women in developing countries smoke tobacco. In addition, many women in south Asia chew tobacco."

Everybody knows that smoking is bad for your health but do you know that smoking also bad for your beauty? believe it or not but this is the fact how smoking affects your beauty:

1. Smoking ruins your skin

*Your  complexion will get WORSE

Why?

Smoking causes premature skin aging, which means by 30 your skin will have clocked up 10 extra years. It also causes discolouration, and abnormal skin growths. Your face will look yellow, sullen and leathery, which is never an attractive look.

* You will develope premature fine lines around the eyes

How?

Because of the squinting involved with keeping the smoke out of your eyes, deep wrinkles form around the eyes, including premature crow’s feet. Eyes also become sullen, and dark bags form under them.  Not very glamourous, don’t you think?

* You will get deep wrinkles around your mouth

How?

Constant puckering of the lips leads to wrinkles and deep, dark lines around the mouth. Lips will also become dry, wrinkled, and shrivelled. Once this becomes obvious, NOT EVEN Botox can correct it fully, and that’s when lipstick will start sinking into the lines. Ewww... how scary is it?

And one thing, smoking can loss glow and vitality of your skin. still feel glamorous without  glowing skin? I don't thing so. so, throw them to the trash bag and say goodbye for the last time.

2. Smoking harms your hair

Who wants dull, lank and smelly hair? No one I think. but do you know that chemicals in cigarettes cause hair to be starved of oxygen, which will make it dull, brittle and lifeless. It also causes hair loss, premature greying and balding.

3. Smoking and your lips

smoking makes your lips darken and unattractive. the cell situated in the bottom of epidermis are affected by smoking causing your lips to darken.

4. Smoking and Your Eyes

If you smoke, you risk developing cataracts and macular degeneration (deterioration of the retina of the eye resulting in the gradual loss of eyesight). This condition affects smokers nearly twice as much as non-smokers. Unfortunately, the risk of macular degeneration is only slightly reduced after giving up smoking.

If you smoke, you run an increased risk of developing cataracts. Smoking is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness. The blood vessels in the retina are sensitive, and can be easily damaged by smoke. Smoking gives rise to a bloodshot appearance in the mucous membrane of the eye.

Last but not least, the smell of it. It’ll be on your hands, your hair, your clothes and everywhere of your body. Just can imagine a beautiful woman smells like an old cigar. Oh big NO, NO…
