How Going Alcohol-Free Effects Your Appearance

Drinking alcohol can make you look older and less healthy. This can affect your self-esteem when looking in the mirror. But cutting down the amount of alcohol you drink, or even quitting alcohol will change your appearance. This can be a great way to boost your confidence.

Here are five ways your appearance will change when you drink less alcohol!

Your Skin Will Glow

Alcohol dehydrates your skin, which can cause your skin to be dry and flakey. The tissue in your skin can become inflamed due to blood vessel dilation, and this causes redness, particularly around your nose and cheeks.

Drinking also results in a loss of vitamin E which helps keep the skin nice and plump. So alcohol causes your skin to get more wrinkles and saggy, but also puffy and bloated.

Any skin-related issues you might already have, such as acne, are made worse by alcohol, and it also ages your skin faster, reducing your skin cells' lifespan.

However, by embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle, you will allow your skin to rejuvenate. It will start to rehydrate and produce the collagen it needs to glow and look young and healthy. When you look in the mirror after going alcohol-free you will notice how much more radiant your skin looks.

Your Hair Will Grow Better

Drinking alcohol causes issues with nutrient absorption. People who regularly drink alcohol tend to have issues with their zinc and estrogen levels and are also dehydrated. Alcohol disrupts the creation of keratin, an important factor in healthy hair growth. All of this strongly affects the way your hair grows, how thick it is, and how much falls out.

When you quit alcohol your body is more able to absorb the nutrients you need, meaning your hair will grow thicker, shinier and all-around stronger. So you will notice that you can do so much more with your hair and it will feel stronger and healthier.

You Will Lose Weight

Alcohol is filled with calories. On top of that, when you drink you tend to eat unhealthier, more calorific food. Your body also struggles to break it down and process it properly, and your digestive system does not absorb the nutrients as well as it should.

But when you choose to cut down the amount of alcohol you drink, you are easily cutting out calories, and helping your body absorb nutrients more efficiently. You will be more hydrated and your metabolism will work faster. All of which help you lose weight.

Your Body Odour Will Improve

When your liver cannot keep up with the toxic input you are putting into your body when you drink, it can start to emit a foul odour. Alcohol creates acetaldehyde in your body and this can cause your breath, urine and sweat to start to smell. By quitting alcohol and hydrating properly, your body odour will start to improve.

You Will Look Less Stressed

Drinking alcohol can cause you to be more stressed. It can cause your brain chemicals to be out of balance, cause you to make bad decisions and is overall bad for your mental health. All of this can make you look more tired and stressed than you are.

By cutting down on alcohol you are able to deal better with stresses in your life. If you feel less stressed you are more likely to look less stressed!
