There are a few reasons that cause a dry and dull skin the next morning - the main reason is dehydration by consuming alcohol. Besides dehydrating your body, alcohol dehydrates your skin too - your body’s largest organ. What? But how? This doesn’t make sense right, as you are consuming liquid which logically considers water. How can you be dehydrated?

When you consume alcohol, it takes all the fluid out of your body. Did you realize that you pee often when you consume alcohol? Yes, alcohol causes you to pee often and it delays the production of the hormone vasopressin that helps you re-absorb water - that causes your skin to dehydrate. As a result, your skin will appear less plump and fresh the next morning.

How to rehydrates your skin? Nothing is more important than having a good hydration range of products that continuously cares and protect all layers of your skin.

What about carbonated drinks?

Carbonated drinks are just as bad as it is for your waistline. WHY?  It has high-glycemic food that rapidly converts to sugar - your body breaks down these carbohydrates into glucose, which raises your insulin levels - It causes your insulin levels to spike which leads to a burst of inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation produces enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles.

Taking care of skin isn’t just about apply a good product on your face, what you consume into your body is an important step to take note as well. You may either minimize the amount of alcohol and/or carbonated drinks consumed and being choosy about that you drink. The best drink you can have is a glass of red wine because it has potent antioxidant. BUT if you are going to have more than one drink in a night, you should eat as the food will slow down the process.
