We all seek to do everything we can to maintain our overall
health as well as our healthy, young appearance. From sunscreen to routine skin checks to a
good skin care regimen, we work hard on a daily basis to improve and maintain
the health of our skin. Did you know
that smoking can undo all your hard work?
A recent study of twins showed that twins who smoke appear older
compared with their non smoking counterpart.
At a recent gathering of twins, smoking and non-smoking twins were
photographed, and the photos were analyzed by physicians and a medical
student. The majority of the time, the
panel judged the smoking twin as older!
Smoking can cause the skin around your lips, eyes, and mouth to wrinkle
and look older faster. Not to mention
the other hazards to your health and the health of those around you posed by
smoking. The next time you reach for a
cigarette think not only of your lungs but of your skin! See the link below for the pictures comparing
the smoking and non-smoking twins.
