Smoking

It is a well and widely known fact that smoking harms your health in many ways but smoking can also accelerate the aging process of your skin.

The harmful chemicals that are contained in cigarette smoke chronically deprive your skin cells of oxygen, which can lead to pale, uneven coloring and it  even triggers the breakdown of collagen and can cause loose, saggy skin.

What is, the whole process of smoking can cause deep wrinkles around the mouth.

One study made at 2007 and that was published in the Journal of Dermatological Science reports that smoking tobacco leads to accelerated skin aging. Therefore, those who are more concerned about their appearance should try to stop smoking.

Some time later, a 2013 study published in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery highlighted the facial changes caused by smoking between smoking and nonsmoking identical twins.

The research has found out that a 5-year difference in smoking history can cause noticeable differences in facial aging in twins.
