Seven Deadly Skin Sins

Want gorgeous skin? Start by making sure you don't commit any of these skin-damaging crimes

Thou shalt not: smoke
Thou shalt not: smoke "If you wont quit for your heart and lungs, quit for the sake of vanity," says Bank. When you smoke, you diminish the skin's ability to get the oxygen it needs. Without optimal oxygen, skin cells can't renew themselves. "It accelerates the wrinkling process by damaging the skin and impeding the repair of your skin," adds Bank. So in addition to the obvious vertical lines and wrinkles around the mouth, your skin overall will look lackluster and dull.

OMG I'm not going to skin heaven. Aside from smoking and tanning beds, and drinking enough water, I do everything else!!! That's 4/7.
