Although we all know that smoking is harmful to the body, but many people still can't quit, in fact, the harm of smoking is far from what you can imagine, after a survey study shows that smoking will also have a serious impact on people's "facial skin". According to the report, the plastic surgery department of Case Reserve University in the United States found 79 pairs of twins to follow the experiment, one of them smoked, the other smoked or the two smoked for different lengths, after several years and then compare the photos of the twins.
Smoking had a severe effect on two-thirds of the subjects' faces, with wrinkles in their lips and sagging jaws... The experiment also showed that smokers had more wrinkles on their upper eyelids than non-smokers, and that eye bags were more severe.
Dr Bahman Guyuron, who led the study, said: "Smoking reduces oxygen supply to the skin, reducing blood circulation to the skin, which ultimately leads to worse skin tone and more wrinkles. The 79 pairs of twins they selected had an average age of 48, of which 57 were female, and the one who smoked was more than 5 years old, with an average smoking age of 13 years.
Professional photographers took facial shots of the twins, and surgeons analyzed their facial features to arrive at the final result.
Take a look at the contrast between five of the twin pairs, and can you guess which one is the smoker?
Both twins smoked, but the left side was 17 years older than the right, and it was obvious that the left side had more wrinkles on his face and more loose skin.
The twins also smoked, and the left side was 14 years older than the right, which obviously showed that the left side was older and wrinkled.
The twins on the left are 16 years old, while the right is non-smoking and often basks in the sun. This difference is also too much, the left side looks a lot older...
The one on the left is 14 years old, and the one on the right does not smoke, and the results are obvious.
The pair smoked for up to 29 years on the left and did not smoke on the right, and she looked much younger than the left.
Of course, not only smoking, alcohol, sun exposure and stress are the reasons for accelerated aging, but the impact of smoking is the most serious, smoking will reduce the formation of collagen in the skin, but also make the skin thinner, reduce elasticity, accelerate aging. And not only appearance, smokers have a cardiovascular disease mortality rate of three times as many as non-smokers, so it is better not to smoke for the sake of good health!
