A little alcohol abuse? Take the guilt out of your skin!
Alcohol can leave an undesirable mark on our skin. Here's how to make up for it!
Our lifestyle choices can influence the health and appearance of our skin. Alcohol, sometimes a party companion, can leave its mark on our skin. Here's how to make up for these little indiscretions!
The effects of alcohol on the skin... In no uncertain terms!
Skin dehydration
Alcohol reduces secretion of the antidiuretic hormone. This hormone controls the body's water balance. The body then eliminates more water than it absorbs: this explains the sensation of thirst you may feel after drinking alcohol.
But dehydration does more than just make you thirsty, or create what some people experience as dry eyes in the early hours of the morning. Alcohol molecules have the ability to divert the water needed by skin cells. Dehydrated skin can become dull and prematurely damaged.
Redness and Couperose
Alcohol is a powerful vasodilator that acts very quickly on the small vessels of the face. As a result, you may feel a sensation of warmth after consuming alcohol. However, repeated heavy drinking can lead to permanent skin redness.
This can be an unsightly appearance, but it's not the result of a small deviation. To avoid this phenomenon, the key is moderation!
Premature deterioration in skin quality
Alcohol also affects vitamin and antioxidant levels in the body:
The metabolism draws on the vitamins present in the body to break down the alcohol molecules.
Vitamins are less well assimilated by the body.
Vitamins A and C are particularly vulnerable. They are precursors of retinol and collagen respectively. Their role is therefore crucial to cell renewal. A reduction in these vitamins can contribute to premature deterioration in skin quality.
Maison's recommendations for compensating for a gap
👉 Drink plenty of fluids (water, water, water!) to make up for an evening lapse.
👉 Good sleep is essential for cell regeneration. A stable sleep routine allows your skin to recover overnight. If your sleep has been disrupted by a small lapse, take the time to rest in the days that follow.
👉 Incorporate vitamin C-rich products into your routine. It stimulates collagen production!
We recommend Secret d'éclat from Maison de l'Argousier. The water extracted from sea buckthorn berries is particularly rich in vitamin C. In fact, a single sea buckthorn berry is 20 times richer in vitamin C than an orange!
👉 You can also use Secret Sublimant with its exceptional beta-carotene content.
This precursor of Vitamin A is the darling of tired skin, as it prevents skin dehydration. Sea buckthorn berries contain 10 times more beta-carotene than a carrot!
Bonus: the healthy-glow effect is guaranteed!
👉 Sea buckthorn is remarkably rich in antioxidants. You'll soon be able to discover La Maison de l'Argousier's range of dietary supplements to counter the effects of a little overindulgence!
