Why is Gen Z Aging So Quickly?

There is one huge contributing factor:

The aging accelerator

Vaping affects more than just your lungs. In fact, it affects your entire body, and quitting vaping has a far greater impact on your skin health than any skincare routine.

Here’s a non-exhaustive list of ways it is harmful to the skin:

• Impaired wound healing: nicotine reduces blood flow to your skin, limiting oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors needed for repair, causing cuts and wounds to heal more slowly.
• Skin irritation and allergies: vaping can trigger contact dermatitis and allergic reactions, especially around your mouth and hands, with nickel from heating coils and chemical flavorings acting as common irritants.
• Worsening skin diseases: vaping has been associated with flare-ups of all manner of maladies, including discoid lupus, morphea, and periorificial dermatitis.
• Burn injuries: something people don’t think about much when it comes to vaping risks, but honestly, exploding batteries and overheating devices have caused a lot of burns, particularly to the hands and thighs.
• Inflammation: vaping increases inflammatory signalling in skin cells, which contribute to skin damage too.
• Oxidative stress: vaping generates free radicals that damage collagen and elastin, contributing to wrinkles, dullness, and faster skin aging overall.
• Reduced skin nourishment: nicotine-induced narrowing of blood vessels decreases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients that your skin needs for healing and maintenance.
• Weakened skin barrier: heat and chemicals from vaping can damage your skin barrier, making your skin more prone to redness, irritation, sensitivity, burning, and stinging.

One last thing to bear in mind:

Skincare can’t offset vaping: no matter what skincare products you use, this harm is being done so long as you are vaping. So, ideally, simply don’t vape.
