Cosmetologist Emilia Niemi tells you tips to minimize the effect of alcohol in your skin care.
Alcohol ages the skin, so on a hangover day you should pay special attention to your skin care. NeonShot
Alcohol ages the skin. It is because alcohol causes dehydration in the body. Dry skin is again one of the biggest causes of visible age changes.
– The drier the skin, the more clearly wrinkles are visible. Due to dryness, the skin loses elasticity and sags easily, Onlinekosmetologi Oy cosmetologist Emilia Niemi tells.
In addition to dehydration, alcohol affects the quality of sleep. The term “beauty sleep” is not just a coin, but good sleep really affects the skin and a lot.
– Skin cells renew themselves while sleeping. During an alcoholic night, this cannot happen as effectively, Niemi describes.
“Redness can be a sign of an allergic reaction”
You may have noticed that the cheeks, neck and chest often turn red after the first glass. This is due to an allergic reaction caused by alcohol.
Alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate. At the same time, it triggers the body’s antihistamine production, which can result in swelling.
– Redness can be a sign of an allergic reaction, which, when prolonged and regularly repeated, can cause visible problems on the skin, such as rosacea skin and broken blood vessels.
To treat rosacea skin, Niemi recommends products for sensitive skin and, for example, zinc cream.
Change the pillowcase
The sugar and additives contained in alcohol are also apt to increase, among other things, the risk of inflammation and impurities.
– Many people’s skin blooms immediately or a few days after an alcoholic evening.
Usually, after a humid bar night, you just want to fall into bed. Washing off make-up is the last thing on your mind. However, this is not a good thing.
– When you don’t wash off your make-up, it contributes to skin dryness, make-up also clogs skin pores and impurities appear.
Niemi also reminds that everyone should change the pillowcase after such a night. Otherwise, good skin care routines on or after a hangover day go to waste.
Hangover day skin care
Cosmetologist Emilia Niemi describes the perfect skin care routine for a hangover day after a humid night.
1. Drink lots of water.
2. Get lots of sleep.
3. Use a gentle cleaning product.
4. Apply a moisturizing face mask or a clay mask that fights impurities to the skin.
5. Use a moisturizing face wash.
6. Boost your skincare routine with hyaluronic acid serum.
