Ever noticed a smokers skin complexion looks greyish? I never noticed mine looking discolored but today it looks as though it has more color! I am so happy, I think drinking more water is also helping but I've only been off analogs for almost a couple weeks and this is drastic color change in my face, I look flushed and healthy. But what I like the most is that I don't look like a smoker anymore, and I don't think I need to wear a foundation anymore to match my skin with the rest of my body. Haha, watch the cosmetic industry is going to come after vapers next!

vapi,
The first thing I noticed when I quit, was the color of my beard. :confused: I am almost 60 and my beard is almost white. While I was smoking it had kind of a yellowish color to it.:oops: After a few weeks it became almost pure white. :) I hadn't noticed the yellow color either. I just thought that was the color it was supposed to be. Good luck on your journey into the smoke free world and I hope you see more improvements.:2cool::vapor:

I just wanted to let you know that I have a slight problem with the vaping
drying out my face area. I have to keep extra cream on it or it really
dries out and gets kinda flaky and red. This started after about 30 days of vaping.

It's a minor thing to deal with compared to all the other benefits.

I hope that doesn't happen too often, I'm guessing less pigment = less oil in the skin. I always found giving myself a facial or exfoliant before bed brings more oil to my surface. You probably drink a lot of water too which should help with the moisture.

I've had the same thing and really can't afford any more new wrinkles. I bought a micro-fiber wash cloth on a whim and it works really well for exfoliating without irritating like terrycloth does - especially around the eyes.

Yes, me too. Especially with the dry air due to the furnace coming on so much.
