Ive recently finished a course of Accutane and my acne has been downgraded to just little whiteheads I get here and there sometimes.

HOWEVER.

Ive recently started smoking socially and it seems like the days I DONT smoke I get more (whiteheads/clogged pores) the next day.

Does this make any sense at all? I mean, youd think it would be bad for your skin.

If anyone has any insight, Id love to hear it.

Thanks

what exactly are you smoking?

[Cyph31]

don't the chemicals in smoke constrict your blood vessels ? would this reduce inflammation if that is a main cause of your acne ?

Acne or cancer... hmm tough call...

[Johnnie]

Im just smoking cigarettes and cigars. I do occasionally smoke marijuana about once every month or two. Im not addicted, I dont get cravings at all.

My acne isnt inflamitory, it used to be, but now it isnt.

The moral of the story, keep smoking Johnnie (jk I dont encourage smoking)

Smoking causes acne !

[MalevolentDemon]

I noticed the same thing but for me it was just a coincidence since I quit so many times without a problem. But they say smoking relieves stress and stress causes acne...but i really don't know if that makes the difference.

Damn, if smoking will make my acne disappear, im for it! Tomorrow is my first day as a smoker!!

Yea....right.
