What are the ways to improve face skin after quitting smoking? -
I-ll be turning 30 at the end of the year and I-ve quit smoking for 4 months now (yaaah!). Btw, I was a light on - off smoker for about 7 years, max 10 and sometimes none per day. Ever since I quit, I have been eating healthy (a lot of detox food), drinking lots of water, exercising regularly and sleeping well. However, my skin heals pretty slowly after a zit or 2, blemish doesn-t go away easily and it doesn-t seem to have that glow like before. Judging from the signs, I gather that the blood circulation to my face isn-t all that good. I haven-t thoroughly explored facial products option but I do have practise a basic regime, like exfoliating, face-washing, toning - moisturising. At this point, I-m desperate and I welcome ANY helpful hints. Thanks!
Do deep breathing exercises to increase oxygen, and you might want to get a rebounder [mini trampoline] to use daily to increase your overall circulation.A good website about benefits of rebounding is Reboundair.com.And a good book on deep breathing exercises is Jumpstart Your Metabolism by Pam Grout.
You may need to add a good vitamin regimen to your routine as well,the B vitamins and vitamin E are necessary for repair.
What you should focus on is internal nutritional support verses external facial products.
Although one thing that you can use on the skin that will rush blood immediately to the surface of your skin is Apple Cider Vinegar.Put some on a cotton ball and apply all over your face,yes it stinks and don-t get in your eyes.You will see immediately that your face is turning red as the blood is rushed to the area,it will fade so don-t panic,it is refreshing and restorative,drinking it is also good for you,especially if you add honey to it.
Don-t drink colloidal silver it turns your skin silver and is toxic to the body,the silver skin is irreversible!
could try a muliti vitamin, A dr told me I was a little low, B1, B6, B-12 and folic acid
dont really have an answer to your question but you could tell all your friends what happens when you are a smoker, you will be helping them ok, Try drinking Cloidial siver it will help you buy it in a health food shop, good luck
