Smoking Ages the Skin

Please read this morning' CNN article on Twins and Smoking.

I personally see this all the time in my own patients. Smoking ages your skin 10-15 years- period.

(CNN) -- Here's something to think about the next time you put a cigarette to your lips: The skin around those lips is going to look older, faster.

You're also more likely to get bags under your eyes sooner. And jowls. And more wrinkles around those lips.

Researchers in Ohio studied the physical differences between the faces of nonsmokers and their twins who smoked and found confirmation of a long-held belief: Smoking does indeed age you
