About the dangers of smoking

It's no secret that the intoxicating atmosphere of a festive feast provokes a person to smoke more often than usual. Sometimes even those who quit a long time ago, forgetting about the possible consequences, take up a cigarette at the New Year's table.

When the holidays are over, we scold ourselves for being weak and get back into the habit. However, unfortunately, during the 2 holiday weeks, active and passive smoking manages to harm the skin: it becomes dry, sensitive, loses its healthy color or flakes off. All these problems can be solved with the help of special care. It will also help those who still smoke, but if those who quit need to follow it for 28 days, then smokers need to follow it all the time.

To figure out how to clean up, we need to figure out what smoking does to our appearance. Firstly, tobacco smoke leads to a thickening of the upper layer of the epidermis, which makes the skin rough, uneven, rough, and its relief deteriorates. Secondly, smoking reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients in the blood. And the skin cells, which get everything they need for a normal life from the blood, are "malnourished." From which they weaken and die faster. This causes the skin to become dry and sensitive, lose its radiance, and show signs of aging faster, in particular, wrinkles deepen.

To recover, you will need creams that protect the skin from harmful environmental influences, increase the production of collagen and elastin, as well as various peels and intensive moisturizers with hyaluronic acid, which you can try out in the department of dermatology and cosmetology of our clinic.

With the help of peels (once every 10-14 days), you can make the skin relief more even and remove excess weakened cells. Deep hydration helps restore cell function, improves microcirculation, and restores the flow of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. And the daily use of "protective" cosmetics (especially with vitamins A, B, C and E) improves skin tone, texture and elasticity.

In any case, it is always important to remember that in order to achieve the most effective result from any procedures and medications, first of all it is necessary to consult a specialist.
