the drinks that impact our face is wine it causes redness between the eyes
enlarges your pores gives you droopy eyelids and flushes your cheeks and nose
it causes this because alcohol dehydrates your skin this can happen
with high consumptions of any alcohol as well the body metabolizes alcohol from
an enzyme in the liver this releases a byproduct which is called acetaldehyde
which is extremely toxic to your body tissues
when this occurs our skin and body tissues become dehydrated this can cause
premature aging in our skin which causes wrinkles dry skin can also lead to
breakouts which may be why you start to develop pimples or zits after a night of
drinking alcohol also dilates the pores in our skin which can lead to whiteheads
and blackheads which can lead to inflamed skin foul poles and acne
alcohol also causes our body tissues to inflame this is because it causes our
body to release histamine this causes our skin to turn red and if
someone excessively drinks over a period of multiple years this redness of the
skin can actually become permanent what's more is that the alcohol actually
hydrates us and impairs our sleep this can affect the body's regenerative cycle
which our bodies go into while we're sleeping this can lead to a dull
complexion to fix these issues tallip recommends following the 80/20 rule

diet is the easiest fix she adds that even cutting your intake in half will
provide rapid improvements to your complexion substituting processed sugar
with natural sources like fruits honey and dates will help us well sugar can
make conditions like acne and rosacea much worse studies state that high
glycemic index foods can trigger acne and skin says dermatologist Rachel Naza
Ryan the process is likely through the trigger in the insulin levels following
an intake of sugar which may increase activity in oil glands leading to pimple
formation she says foods which are high in sugar can also cause insulin
resistance which is known to cause aging spots as well as excess hair growth
foods which are high in sugar also cause inflammation
this results in enzyme production which can lead to the breakdown of elastin and
collagen elastin and collagen are what keep your skin looking young and firm
this is because they are what attaches the skin to the muscles which are in
your face it is a well-known fact that too much sugar can lead to premature
