Beating the ravages of age Health and Beauty Health and beauty are inseparable. The healthier you are, the better you look. Smoking damages the microcirculation to the skin, making it dull, grey and lifeless. Your hair is affected in the same way.
Smoking also leads to the early formation of wrinkles, especially fine lines around the mouth.
Many models smoke partly as an attempt to keep slim, but they are wrecking their own career. Keep alcohol intake to a moderate level, no more than 14 units a week. The most important thing is to try to avoid binges where you drink all your allowance in one go, as this is particularly toxic to the liver. Make sure you enjoy a healthy, balanced diet - with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to provide essential vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Regular exercise will help to make your skin glow, and give you beautiful poise.
