Your skin and gut remember every drink even when you do not.
Alcohol may look glamorous in the moment, but inside the body it quietly shifts the way your skin and gut behave. I see this often in clinic and I have lived it myself. Small choices add up, and understanding the mechanisms helps you make them with clarity.
✔ Disrupts the gut barrier which can increase inflammation that shows up on the skin
✔ Reduces hydration in the deeper layers of the skin which can make texture look dull
✔ Alters the microbiome which can trigger breakouts or sensitivity
✔ Impacts nutrient absorption which the skin relies on for repair
✔ Slows collagen recovery which can change firmness over time
I am not here to judge your choices. I am here to help you understand what your skin and gut are experiencing so you can support them with intention.
