 Stop Smoking and Take Care of Your Body and Skin

Wrinkles are creases in the skin.  To minimize skin wrinkling, stay out of the sun as much as possible. When you are outside, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. If you smoke, stop smoking.

Most wrinkles are associated with aging changes in skin. Aging of the skin and related structures (hair and nails) is a natural process. Nothing can be done to decrease the rate of skin aging, but many environmental factors will increase the rate.

Skincare side note:  Frequent exposure to sunshine results in premature skin wrinkling and increased pigmentation (liver spots). It also increases the likelihood of skin cancer. Exposure to cigarette smoke is another environmental factor that increases wrinkling of the skin.  Besides wrinkles, other skin changes may include liver spots (pigmented areas).

Wrinkles can develop because of:

  • Sun exposure
  • Normal aging changes in the skin
  • Smoking

Invasive, Abrasive & Surgical Treatments

  • Tretinoin (Retin-A) or creams containing alpha-hydroxy acids may be recommended, but these aren't guaranteed to help.
  • Chemical peels or laser resurfacing are very effective options for early wrinkles.  (Use Dremu Oil to calm the skin after a peel.)
  • Botulinum toxin (Botox) may be used to correct some of the wrinkles associated with overactive facial muscles.
  • Some patients may choose plastic surgery for age-related wrinkles (for example, a facelift).

If you have tried to quit smoking, you know how hard it can be. It is hard because nicotine is a very addictive drug. For some people, it can be as addictive as heroin or cocaine. Quitting is hard. Usually people make 2 or 3 tries, or more, before finally being able to quit. Each time you try to quit, you can learn about what helps and what hurts.

Quitting takes hard work and a lot of effort,
but you can quit smoking.

Think about the following questions before you try to stop smoking. You may want to talk about your answers with your health care provider.

1. Why do you want to quit?

2. When you tried to quit in the past, what helped and what didn't?

3. What will be the most difficult situations for you after you quit? How will you plan to handle them?

4. Who can help you through the tough times? Your family? Friends? Health care provider?

5. What pleasures do you get from smoking? What ways can you still get pleasure if you quit?
