Nicotine is the most deadly toxic substance contained in cigarettes. Because it can enter the human body through the skin, both smokers and second-hand smokers will be poisoned. Smoking can prevent the absorption of vitamins by the human body. Among them, vitamin C has antioxidant effect and can inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals. If you smoke for a long time, you will accumulate a large amount of this kind of garbage in the body, which will protect human cells from damage.
The harm of smoking to skin
nicotine:
Nicotine is the most deadly toxic substance contained in cigarettes. Because it can enter the human body through the skin, both smokers and second-hand smokers will be poisoned. Smoking can prevent the absorption of vitamins by the human body. Among them, vitamin C has antioxidant effect and can inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals. If you smoke for a long time, you will accumulate a large amount of this kind of garbage in the body, which will protect human cells from damage. We know that free radicals are the main cause of skin aging. The anti-wrinkle principle of many skin care products is to fight against the generation of free radicals in the body. Because nicotine causes poor blood circulation in the skin and damages the elastic fiber tissue in the skin, it makes the skin aging early, which is why smokers look relatively old on the face.
Acetone:
Tobacco contains acetone, a toxic substance, which can dissolve oil, make skin dry and allergic, and has a stimulating effect on skin. Long-term attraction can lead to skin aging and dullness.
Dust particles:
The dust particles of cigarettes will stay in the sebum layer, forming a toxic and impermeable thin layer, which makes the skin prone to acne or inflammation. Because of the poor blood circulation of the skin, the face skin becomes pale, tired, dry and inelastic. The pores of the skin become larger, and it is easy to form wrinkles. At the same time, it may also cause local microvascular rupture.
