Snuff and alcohol. Do you really aggravate acne?
In our culture we tend to socialize by drinking alcohol and smoking. Unfortunately, in addition to the potential carcinogenic risk, the snuff can also cause other diseases such as acne, besides skin aging prematurely.
Smoking may be a pleasure to be among friends, but there is no doubt that snuff causes veins and arteries to be closer and closer, including those feeding into the outer layers of the skin with essential nutrients and oxygen.
Alcohol, other recreational substance of our society, it is an enemy of the skin. Alcohol decreases the ability of our skin to defend (and defend) of bacterial infections. For people prone to acne, these two social habits are especially harmful.
VITAMINS CAN NOT YET
Even with the administration of vitamins A and E can not completely eliminate the effect of toxins into our body by smoking and drinking. Vitamin A is used to regenerate new cells replacing old ones. It also improves collagen production, which makes our skin look younger. As snuff and alcohol rob our skin of oxygen and nutrients, which finally lead to the formation of free radicals that slowly damage the collagen and elastic fibers in the skin.
A British study has revealed that women who smoke are more likely to have adult acne (or non-inflammatory) than those who do not. In fact, this study concludes that 40% of the women studied developed some form of acne (blackheads, pimples). Also been observed that smokers have half the normal level of vitamin E secretions in the skin, making them more likely to develop acne.
If we decide to quit snuff and / or alcohol and began to drink adequate water to hydrate properly, look to introduce a balanced diet, we will see shortly as the appearance of our skin improves.
It is clear that we all like to go out and socialize with friends drinking or smoking, but the truth is that these activities damage our body, and in particular, damage our skin. No matter how much they spend on creams or anti-acne products will not be effective if other products we consume as snuff and alcohol make us more harm.
