Smoking is a major contributor to premature ageing, with toxins in cigarette smoke reducing blood flow and depriving the skin of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to a dull, sallow appearance and decreased skin elasticity.

It also speeds up the breakdown of collagen and elastin—proteins that keep skin firm and smooth—resulting in fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Repetitive motions like lip pursing during smoking can cause additional wrinkles around the mouth.

Quitting smoking is the most effective way to prevent further damage. Antioxidant-rich skincare can help neutralise free radicals, while professional treatments like chemical peels or microneedling may improve visible signs of ageing, leading to healthier-looking skin.
