Welcome to Quit support, Thank you for joining us. Strangely enough I havent had anyone ask about spots and skin until today and you are the second person.

Your skin is regenerating and de-toxing all those nasty chemicals from smoking. It takes about 1 month for your skin to get back to being healthy and probably better than it has ever been. Moisturise and make sure your getting enough vitamin c. If you are very concerned have a word with your pharmacist or doctor, who will advise you on what type of moisturiser to use. I think it is probably due to quitting.

If you let me know the exact date you quit (without any cigarettes) I will assign you a progress badge next to your name.

Please have a look through the pinned posts for additional information.

The pinned posts are situated to the right or the bottom of the page, depending on which device you are using.

Look forward to supporting you. 😊🌼
