How Alcohol Affects Your Beauty

Many women nowadays follow a lot of skin regimen and routines just to improve their overall appearance. Although there is no doubt about having skin care routines can improve naturally your beauty and looks, most people fail to realize that the food and drinks they consume play a huge role in their respective looks and appearance. Alcohol, for instance, has a very destructive component that affects the physical and internal beauty.

As it happens, too much alcohol in your system can dramatically degrade your physical looks. While having good-looking cocktails and drinks for the purpose of social media attraction is pretty enticing, you must realize that these drinks do not offer any benefit for you. And if you are not entirely sure how alcohol affects your beauty, here are some reasons why you must start a sober living for women immediately:

Speed Up Aging Process

Alcoholic drinks can naturally speed up your aging process. And this is a fact that you must always remember. Keep in mind that when you drink alcohol, it totally dehydrates your body. Apparently, alcohol prevents the production of your anti-diuretic hormones. This forces your kidney to work harder than the usual. Thus, removing a lot of water from your body.

Certainly, you know what happens when your system is dehydrated. It does not only affect your skin, but it also affects every organ in your system. And when your skin dries inside out, your skin tends to wrinkle much quicker than the usual. Moreover, this will slow down your cells to regenerate new ones. Hence, you will end up having dry old skin that could make you look much older.

Damage Your Hair

Just like your skin, your hair can be also damaged when you are dehydrated. According to studies, skin and hair share almost the same cells. So, when one is experiencing a great deal damage, there is also a huge chance that the other is also experiencing the same thing.

In addition, it has been found that drinking alcohol decrease the zinc that is in your body. And when your body lacks the needed amount of zinc, this results in a much serious hair damage and degradation.

Causing Redness in Your Face

For sure, you’ve seen how your or someone’s face turns red when they drink alcohol. In actuality, the reddish or pinkish skin that appears when you drink too much alcohol does not mean that you are already drunk. This only means that the small blood vessels in your skin widens as you consume alcohol. Once these small vessels widen, they encourage more blood flow in the areas affected or your face.

Although some may say that they look good in having a pinkish or reddish glow, this actually can cause serious damage to your skin, blood vessels, and your eyes. This condition is called rosacea that once worsens, it could lead to blindness and other serious conditions.

Bloated Face

You are surely aware of the “beer-belly” condition. And it is common knowledge already that alcoholic drinks are the main reason for this. But, little did everyone know that liquors and alcoholic beverages can also result in the bloating of your face.

This series of events is actually related to the apparent dehydration that your body experiences when you consume alcohol. Since your system is experiencing a lot of water and electrolyte loss, your system tends to rob all the water that it can get when you drink water or eat food. And this abrupt robbing causes for the tissues to swell. Hence, this results in having a bloated face.

Swelling Around Your Eye

The same thing happens to your eyes as they also get swollen when you drink alcohol. This is all because of the water retention. It is important for you to note that dehydration affects almost all of your systems in the body. And although you will surely try to replenish your water consumption after drinking alcohol, your kidneys and liver will still try to work so hard. Accordingly, you will still end up dehydrated inside out.

Leads to Dull Complexion.

When your skin is healthy and glowing, this only means that your system and organs are working properly. Essentially, the way your skin looks and appears on the outside is a great indication that your internal system is working and functioning in its optimal state.

So, when you seem to notice that you are losing the brightness and glowing complexion that you once had, it only means that there is something wrong. And if you are drinking a lot of alcohol, this is the main effect that you can get from this negative habit.

All in all, the way you look outside has definitely something to do with the way your inner health and condition shows. So, even if you apply several creams and follow various skin care regimens, if you are not taking care or being mindful of the things you consume, your beauty will certainly fade in no time. And much more if you are drinking alcohol regularly.

Botox and Beyond by Jerome Potozkin, MD, Your Guide To Safe Nonsurgical Procedures

Dr. Jerome Potozkin’s new book, Botox and Beyond, sheds light on the many minimally invasive procedures available, and how to ensure you don’t become a victim of shady, unqualified practitioners who are looking to make a quick buck.

Never before have cosmetic procedures been more mainstream, and never before have there been so many treatment options available. This is a “Must Read” for anyone considering “Botox and Beyond”.

Botox and Beyond

In the book, Dr. Potozkin informs us about:

  • How to choose the right expert to help you achieve your desired results.
  • The numerous treatment options available, from Botox to laser and light-based.
  • Why cosmetic procedures aren’t just for women anymore and why it’s more acceptable for men to choose to look their best.
  • Why it’s important to find a physician with whom you can build a trusting professional relationship.

In Botox and Beyond, Dr. Potozkin uses examples and lessons gleaned from his years of experience in the art and science of dermatology in his mission to educate consumers about nonsurgical cosmetic procedures.

About the Author:

Some quotes from the book:

“Too often, people respond to an offer for cheap procedures that seem to good to be true.”

Spring Is Here With NOGU

Spring is here! A lead designer at trending jewelry brand NOGU, gave It’s a Glam Thing some info on what’s trending. These tips are perfect as people are looking to freshen up their style for spring or looking to buy gifts for graduation, Easter, Mother’s Day or any spring occasion!

Coral, coral and more coral: Some folks are afraid to wear bright clothing, so a great way to wear Pantone’s Color of the Year is to accessorize with coral bracelets and necklaces. This look is fresh, bright and on trend.

Gifts that give back: Find a bracelet that signifies a charity or cause you or the recipient is passionate about! For example, NOGU offers collections that benefit charities like Heart & Stroke, the ASPCA, and one of my favorites – The Sea Turtle Conservancy – we’ve already raised $10,000 for this organization with a great line of jewelry featuring sea turtles.

Layers aren’t just for haircuts: Layering jewelry whether it be rings, bracelets or necklaces, remains a hot trend this spring. In most cases, the more the merrier when it comes to how you can stack jewelry.

Literally anything mermaid: Mermaids are hot this year – we’re still hoping fans are right and that Taylor Swift’s new album is all things mermaid. Either way, a great gift is NOGU’s trending mermaid glass collection — made with beads that look like they’re glowing. Like magic!

With the insight that nearly half of Americans do not recycle their beauty and personal care products, accounting for 1/3 of all landfill waste, Garnier has been working with TerraCycle since 2011 to educate people on how to recycle responsibly.  Since the partnership inception, the brand has diverted over 11.7 million empties from landfills, providing a comprehensive solution to personal care and beauty packaging waste with its free recycling program for hair care, skin care, and cosmetic product empties. These empties have been upcycled into materials such as raised garden beds, benches, and picnic tables to build 13 parks, gardens and community spaces nationwide.  To kickoff the Greenhouse Tour, Garnier built a garden at the University of Miami on March 17, and will help beautify a garden in New York City in recognition of Earth Day on April 22.  The Greenhouse Tour is another opportunity to encourage reducing personal waste, as guests are invited to bring their beauty empties to the designated TerraCycle bin at the Garnier Greenhouse for recycling.
