Here’s a question for you, Dan: Is it possible for your skin to adapt to the Regimen and stop producing sebum altogether? If so, would the effects be reversible? I’m on the Regimen now (it works!), but I’m afraid that I might never be able to get off it…
Does alcohol relate to acne? I have read that alot of people do get acne from it and others have said that their skin looks better after a night of drinking. So I was wondering if alcohol consumption has any effect on your skin and why?
Hey Dan, I just wanted to point out that smoking reduces stress, and that’s probably the reason why those two studies that you cited showed that those who smoked experienced less incidence of acne, since we know that stress can definately trigger acne. I doubt it was the cigarettes themselves that helped to reduce acne in those studies, but fact that the nicotine in cigarettes have some sort of calming effect, thus reducing stress and ultimately helping to reduce acne. I hope that you’ll mention this and maybe suggest ways to reducing stress. thanks!
I dont believe smoking reduces stress. I am a smoker, & yeah when i smoke i get a buzz for like a minute. Then im relaxed.. Only because I crave. I don’t think a non smoker would be more or less stressed than a 20 a day smoker. when i don’t smoke, i may become more stressed only because my body is addicted. yes smoking is a physical addiction.
Here is a something I heard years ago. “Smoking drys out the skin”.
Is that true or false? If it does dry the skin, is that how smoking may affect acne?
i was smoker for like 10 years, i have stopped back in december 2008 and i can definitely say that my skin imrpoved by 50 %!beside that i feel MUCH healthier and i have much more (life) energy =)
please I need help in smoking and acne problem so i really want to know how would nicotine do this job exactelly, im doing this research and any help would be useful
Hi Dan
I quit smoking 4 months ago and my skin has been the best its ever been I very rarely get any spots at all. I belive smoking does have an effect on acne in a bad way. im so so pleased I quit its the best thing I have ever done.
Just to add anyone quiting, your skin will get worse as the toxins come out of your pores,but stick with it and drink plenty of water to help flush them out . you will be amazed.
thanks and good luck
I have recently started smoking (about 2 weeks ago) and I normally get 2-3 spots around my top lip at one time. But since taking up smoking I have really noticed a lack of acne.
It’s possible its to do with something else, but I haven’t noticably changed anything major (e.g washing face etc) that would influence a change in the condition of my skin.
It confused me as I thought smoking would have caused my skin to go crazy!

If you already have acne i think smoking makes your current acne worse (inflammatory) not so much if your clear. my opinion!
