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

A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that a combination of antioxidants and trace elements supplementation raises the risk of skin cancer in women, but not in men.

Ultraviolet Radiation

Several studies have shown that most people with severe psoriasis who are treated with infliximab (Remicade) have significant improvement in symptoms by week 10. - 0 Comments
