2. Don't smoke 不要吸煙
Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles.
吸煙會加速你的皮膚衰老并且增加皺紋。吸煙將使皮膚最表層的毛細血管變窄,這將使血液流動變慢。那么皮膚中的氧含量和養分將會下降,例如維他命A,它對皮膚健康起重要作用。吸煙也會破壞膠原蛋白和彈性蛋白——纖維細胞,它將使你的皮膚韌性和彈性。另外,吸煙時重復的臉部表情——例如吸入時候要撅起嘴唇并瞥著眼睛不讓煙進入眼睛——也會增加皺紋。
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.
如果你要吸煙,保護皮膚最好的方法就是戒煙。可以請教醫生的建議或者治療辦法來幫你戒煙。
