Alcohol + Inflammation
Alcohol consumption is steadily declining, and it’s not by accident. We’re seeing more non-alcoholic beverage options, sober-curious movements, and increased awareness around how alcohol impacts overall health.
Alcohol is essentially liquid inflammation—it creates stress in the body from the moment it’s consumed until it’s fully metabolized and eliminated. While the effects may feel temporary, the internal damage can quietly show up on your skin over time.
So what does this actually mean for your skin? Inflammation can present as flushing and redness, increased sensitivity, accelerated aging from oxidative stress, dehydration that compromises your skin barrier, and even disrupted gut health—which directly affects breakouts, dullness, and chronic skin issues.
Your skin is often the first place your body shows signs of imbalance, and alcohol is a common (but overlooked) trigger.
