Alcohol and Skin

Alcohol consumption has complex effects on skin health, generally leaning towards negative outcomes both in the short and long term. In the short term, alcohol acts as a mild diuretic, leading to dehydration and visible signs like bags under the eyes. This dehydration prompts the skin to produce more sebum, which can further complicate skin appearance. Additionally, the long-term implications may involve disruptions to the gut microbiome and overall skin vitality.
