Tip No. 3: No Alcohol!
Don’t drink too much, or you’ll get drunk! Well, when it is about acne, alcohol is also an enemy, although your skin can’t get drunk.
Alcohol is still used in some cosmetic products and this is not a very good thing for your skin and for your acne. Fortunately, one could read on the products’ labels whether they contain alcohol or not and thus one is able to avoid the bad products and buy the good ones.
So, if you use a toner, avoid products with high concentrations of isopropyl alcohol, or common rubbing alcohol. Because it represents a strong astringent, alcohol strips the top layer of your skin and causes your sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Thus your skin will become dry and will turn red; and possibly more blemishes will appear.
So, although drinking a cocktail is sometimes interesting, when it comes to your skin, alcohol should be always avoided!
