Ah yes, I do despise smoking and rightly so, . . . I developed adult allergies in my mid twenties because I was exposed to second hand smoke growing up from my two parents that were chain smokers. Thanks Dad and Stepmonster! Anyhow, as a licensed Esthetician I now have the education to back up my dispute against smoking. Everyone knows it's bad for you but does everyone know why? They should BUT, they continue to light up stick after stick and pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year to accelerate the aging process! I'm going to just say it, . . . here I go, . . my Catholic guilt is building, . . . SMOKING (anything) is just STUPID! Such a small, simple word but yet I tell my 8 year old not to say because it's rude! Good thing she doesn't read my Blog.
My favorite smokers are the ones that try to convince you that they "enjoy" smoking. Yes and I enjoy giving birth, having the flu, getting emotionally rejected, picking up dog poo, being in a car accident, loosing a loved one and last but not least, I enjoy getting dental work. Mmmm, it's all so good! NOT!
SMOKING: It thins your skin and accelerates aging (sagging and wrinkles) that are irreversible! Smoking also narrows your blood vessels in your Epidermis. This impairs blood flow to your skin, depleting it of much needed oxygen, nutrients and vitamins. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin which are the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. Hence the lovely, much earned deep wrinkles on a smokers face!
So, for those of you that choose to smoke, knowing you could actually be saving money by quitting the nasty habit and spending it on a monthly facial and products for a home care regimen instead, well I just have one more thing to say to you, . . . "enjoy" always looking older than your true age.
