Does smoking affect acne?

Smoking is a habit of many young people, but does smoking have any effect on acne? Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, but what we also know is that it is more harmful to the lungs, and indirectly affects acne as well. Acne is a skin problem, and people with oily skin are more prone to acne. This is related to skin detoxification. Because sebum secretion is too strong and cannot be discharged in time, acne is formed.

Acne is mostly caused by two reasons. One is that the skin is oily, the sebaceous glands are overdeveloped, and the sebum secretion is excessive. If the pores are clogged or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate in the pores, causing bulges and pimples. Another reason is that the imbalance of hormone secretion in the body causes acne on the skin. This cause is more common during adolescence. Imbalance in hormone secretion can also indirectly cause excessive sebum secretion, further aggravating the acne condition. The nicotine in cigarettes will constrict the walls of capillaries, causing toxins to accumulate in the blood and lymph, reducing the reoxygenation rate of skin cells, thereby weakening the skin's healing ability and making it easy for cross-infection of acne wounds to occur.

Cigarettes contain nicotine, which has many evil effects, comparable to arsenic and poison in ancient times. It not only shrinks the walls of capillaries and causes toxins to accumulate in the blood and lymph, thereby weakening the skin's healing ability and easily causing infection of acne wounds.

In addition, heavy smoking will lead to excessive oil secretion, causing skin pores to be blocked, and toxins cannot be discharged, which is naturally easy to cause acne. And it is not just acne. Over time, the skin will also develop a series of problems such as sagging, wrinkles, and spots, and then it will be too late to regret.

On the surface, acne is a chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands, but in fact it is caused by endocrine disorders. I already have acne, and even if I stop smoking, the acne problem cannot be completely solved. If you have acne, you need to receive regular treatment. Acne cannot be cured by taking any kind of medication or applying cosmetics. You must receive treatment in a regular dermatology hospital or dermatology department to regulate your endocrine system and balance the male hormones in your body. As long as you persist in the treatment, it can usually be cured.
