Alcohol & Acne
Acne is caused by a number of natural factors, especially oily skin. However, one thing you can cut out of your diet to prevent acne is alcohol.
-
Toxins
-
Alcohol harms the liver, which removes toxins. The body needs to remove harmful toxins from alcohol and does this through the pores. The pores then become clogged and form into pimples.
Hormones
-
Those who consume alcohol regularly have excess hormones. This increased number of hormones causes an increase in acne.
-
Stress
-
The consumption of alcohol contributes to stress. This stress causes hormones to become imbalanced, often increasing and leading to acne.
Dehydration
-
Dehydration is a side effect of drinking alcohol that causes the skin to become dry and irritated. When it is scratched, it becomes inflamed and causes acne.
Immunity
-
Drinking alcohol decreases the effectiveness of your immune system. This means your body cannot fight the bacteria that cause acne.
Astringent
-
Alcohol is an astringent, so it makes your pores smaller and tighter. This makes your skin more prone to acne.
