Does alcohol clear up your skin?

Question

i drank a lot this weekend and fell asleep in my makeup, but my skin got clearer?? so i was just wondering if it did.

Answer 1

Uh... NO!

Alcohol dilates the blood vessel in the skin. Every time you have a drink, the blood vessels will dilate and remain permanently dilated until they lose their tone.

Excessive drinking will lead to the development of telangiectasias or chronic dilation of the capillaries and a permanent flush on the face.

Alcohol also worsens acne rosacea, a skin disorders that is characterized by redness, flushing, pusheads and pimply bumps and telangiectasias.

Alcohol also depletes the body of vitamin A, an important anti-oxidant.

In summary, the effects of alcohol on the skin are:

Causes broken capillaries

Aggravates acne rosacea

Causes malnutrition

Causes craving and loss of control and affects personal grooming and skin care

Answer 2

Mmmm... honey i think not. And i wouldn't coninue doing that just for that purpose.. that's g*y. Stop drinking and buy you some pro-active. That'll leave you better off in the long run.

Answer 3

Just a coincidence this time- it can sometimes give you more zits- unless, that is, you drink enough to give you the sweats at night, in case, you might have clearer skin but soggy sheets.
