Post skin improvement

I am going to quit soon...or at least try... Has anyone had improved skin due to quitting? My face is really dry and flaky...I'm not sure if smoking is causing it or making it worse, but I'm just curious it anyone thinks that quitting will help my skin out...

I quit smoking about three weeks ago! Hopefully for good. I quit because I saw that my skin was losing its elasticty (I'm only 24, I've smoked for almost ten years). I was so upset that I decided it was time to quit or else! My skin is so much better! Ýt feels more flexible and the yellow/grey color around my mouth and all over is still going away, but the worst is gone! My hands and face espacially were so dry that nothing would help, even vaseline. Now I use creams and my skin is hydrated, but if I smoke even one cigarette in a day my skin gets messed up, so I take a warm bath before bed and put cream everywhere and its much better by the morning. I quit one day by sleeping or resting the entire day, no cigarettes, no TV, no stress. Then after the getting through the next morning (skip the coffee, it will make you crae a cig.)I was already happy with the improvements in my skin, lungs, and back pain that I made up my mind to stay clean. Good luck and YES your skin will become hydrated!

I quit 14 days ago and I already notice a difference in my skin. It looks and feels healthier, hydrated...I read that smoking restricts blood circulation (duh, I know) but that this directly effects your skin which is the most noticeable in your face, of course. I don't have "bad skin days" anymore.

Good luck and it is SOOOO worth quitting.
