Persistent redness, a yellowish complexion, skin that bleeds easily… What if your face was the first to raise the alarm? After the holidays, a dermatologist explains the signs that excessive alcohol consumption can reveal on our skin.
The holidays are over, and with them, the end of alcohol. January marks the return of New Year’s resolutions, and one of the most popular is to reduce alcohol consumption, or even abstain completely . This decision is often motivated by health concerns, but also by appearance. Because if there’s one part of the body that doesn’t lie after a night of heavy drinking, it’s the skin .
The effects are immediately visible: redness in the cheeks, a feeling of tightness, and even swelling upon waking. The topic has generated considerable interest; Google searches for ” effects of alcohol on the skin” increased by 5,000% last month. In a recent interview with Stylist magazine , dermatologist Nora Jafaar explains the visible signals the skin sends when alcohol is consumed excessively and why it’s important to pay attention to them.
