HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Smoking and Skin Damage

The skin of smokers ages more rapidly than the skin of non-smokers, even in areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, according to a 2007 study. Women in the study who smoked also had much lower levels of vitamin E secretions in their skin. Vitamin E may protect the skin from sun damage.
There may be an association between smoking and higher frequency of a type of acne (noninflammatory acne) in adult women, according to a European study.

Antioxidants and Your Skin
