Smoking contributes to wrinkling of your skin. It makes the tiny blood vessels in the outer layers of your skin become smaller which reduces the flow of blood. This eventually makes your skin look pale. It also destroys collagen and elastin – two fibers that make your skin strong and elastic.

In addition, it increases the risk of having skin cancer and kills the ability to resist it. You need to stop smoking now if you still do.

5. Treat your skin well

Don’t be harsh on your skin. Don’t use harsh substances to scrub or wash your skin. When you shave, do it carefully. Shave the hair towards the direction it grows, not opposite it.

6. Use good creams and soap

You don’t have to purchase an expensive cream or soap to use. There are very affordable products you can buy that will keep your skin looking beautiful always.

Another important benefit of using cream is that it keeps your skin moisturized and adds more nutrients. Read the best soap for dark skin in Nigeria to know which soap is good for you.

Some doses of sunlight may be beneficial for you but spending hours under the sun is not. Exposing your skin to sunlight excessively can cause spots, wrinkles and some other skin problems. It can reduce your protection against skin cancer.
