Alcohol, by far, would be the weapon of choice at any event, lounge spot by the pool or game night. What effect does this have on the people around you? The skin is the first impression maker, the chance to be trustworthy and approachable. But what immediate effects can the drink have on the skin and what chronic issues can arise from having your favorite Vodka or Gin martini? Below we will look at and understand the effects and immediate actions that can be taken.
Immediate effects
Vitamin A Depletion: alcohol can affect your nutrition levels right away by causing depletion in nutrients carrying oxygen in the blood. More specifically Vitamin A which is an important antioxidant for your system and regenerates new skin cells. It is also a very important component in the production of collagen and can lose elasticity which leaves the skin supple and young.
Counter: Carrying a nitrified, retinol serum or cream and applying it before and after you drink will subdue the effects.
Widens Blood Vessels: This brings blood to the face causing redness, discoloration, uneven skin-tone such as puffiness or swelling.
Counter: Nutrient-rich serum or cream before drinking containing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Skin Dehydration: In-directly, alcohol can cause the skin to dehydrate and lose suppleness while increasing dryer skin. This can result in severe issues in dry environments causing redness and irritation or skin blotches.
Counter: Drink water in between drinks while using a natural moisturizer.
As a vice, alcohol can present beneficial results when consumed properly without its abuse. Many internal issues can arise when consumed in over excess so it is best to keep a good understanding of the vices and keep a healthy balance to enjoy success.
