Cosmetologist names drink that diminishes person's beauty
Alcohol not only helps one relax after a hard day at work but can also cause significant harm to the body. Specifically, it can diminish a person's beauty and cause wrinkles, according to Ukrainian cosmetologist Olha Pozdniakova.
The impact of alcohol on beauty
According to the expert, any alcohol causes dehydration and dryness of the skin, leading to premature wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, and other signs of aging.
Alcohol also affects the blood vessels. When consuming alcohol, the face often becomes red, and sometimes, even after just one sip, this condition can exacerbate skin problems such as eczema, rosacea, breakouts, or psoriasis.
Alcohol destroys antioxidants and collagen in the body.
Another unpleasant consequence of alcohol is facial swelling.
Therefore, it is important to consider alcohol as a harmful and even toxic substance. If you want to keep your skin healthy, youthful, and beautiful, it is best to avoid alcohol altogether, or at least reduce its consumption to a minimum.
Sweet cocktails
In general, the habit of drinking destroys antioxidants and collagen in the body.
Sweet cocktails are a double threat because both alcohol and sugar cause skin inflammation. Red wine contains substances that release sugar and histamine, which lead to a double dose of inflammation and redness.
Short-term skin changes such as dullness, dryness, and swelling often occur after alcohol consumption. These negative effects can be mitigated by taking a long break from alcohol.
It is important to remember that the more alcohol we consume, the greater the load on internal organs. The pancreas and liver suffer the most.
Therefore, it's better to prevent the problem rather than correct its consequences. If you have serious skin issues, it's best to avoid alcohol to prevent further damage.
Here are three initial steps to take if you realize the need to stop drinking alcohol:
- Avoid people who might encourage drinking.
- Include people in your social circle who have successfully given up alcohol.
- Find interesting hobbies to fill your free time
