Are your boozy weekends compromising your appearance?


How much alcohol do you drink? (Honestly, please!)

Alcohol, as we know, is toxic to the body and puts a strain on liver functioning. What we aren't aware is, that this can cause the skin to look an unhealthy yellow or pale brown colour. 

This is because the toxins from our boozy weekend (or tipple on an evening) affect the immunology of the skin and it's metabolism is impaired - resulting in free radical formation (PREMATURE AGEING!)

Alcohol causes Vasodilation of the surface blood vessels - small red/purple clusters will appear on the skin, mostly on the cheeks and nasal areas. 
As if this wasn't bad enough - the skin will have a blemished appearance and will look generally puffy.

Will the long term affects of alcohol on your appearance or skin health encourage you to change your intake and step away from the glass? (Or bottle 😏)
