There are people who have different skin types, patients who have rosacea, for example, who are much more sensitive to those changes. They may notice that change in the color in the vasoconstriction more with caffeine consumption. What used to be thought was that caffeine itself was a problem for flushing and redness.

And now we've realized it's actually not so much the caffeine because the concentration that reaches the skin is so minuscule. It's actually the temperature of the beverages we drink. So hot beverages can affect the color of your skin, can make you flush more, make the redness more pronounced. Cold beverages tend not to have that effect.

So it used to be an old adage in people who had like rosacea, for example, we'd say, don't drink coffee, don't drink tea. It's actually the temperature of the beverage, not so much the caffeine content.

So nicotine, great question. It is a known vasoconstrictor. Now, the concentration of nicotine when smoked is higher in the skin because of inhalational effects and the local effect of nicotine on our skin. So you do see a measurable vasoconstriction in the skin that becomes a problem, which is why patients who smoke age faster.

Patients who had surgery who smoke have a higher risk for poor wound outcomes, for poor healing because of that vasoconstriction. Usually people who use or consume nicotine aren't doing it once a week. Most people are using it daily or multiple times a day. So that chronic vasoconstriction adds up and has a net negative effect on the skin.
