Reduced blood circulation
Nicotine in e-cigarettes causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to the skin. This makes the skin appear pale and lifeless.
When blood is not supplied sufficiently, the skin does not receive enough oxygen and necessary nutrients, leading to dull and lackluster skin.
Causes dry skin
The heat from cigarettes can dehydrate the surface of your skin, leading to dryness and flaking. Dry skin is not only uncomfortable, but it is also more susceptible to damage and infection.
Premature aging
Smoking can reduce the production of collagen, an important protein that helps skin maintain its elasticity and firmness. Lack of collagen can lead to premature wrinkles and sagging skin.
In addition, free radicals generated from vaping can also destroy skin structure, accelerating the aging process.
Causes acne
The chemicals in e-cigarettes can clog pores, leading to acne and other skin problems.
In particular, people with oily or sensitive skin may find their acne worsens when using e-cigarettes.
