Here's To Your Natural Glow!
The holidays are here, which means many of us may be inclined to celebrate with an alcoholic beverage – or two – or three. But during all that celebrating, you may not realize that you can actually be hurting your skin. In fact, drinking can cause you severe skin damage you may be feeling the effects of for years.
Though the occasional drink can be harmless, the excessive drinking some may partake in during the holidays (egg nog anybody?) can actually cause both long-term and short-term problems to your skin, such as dullness, flaking, and the worsening of current skin conditions. (1)
Now, this isn’t a fear tactic to get you to put away every drink and ruin your holidays. That’s because new studies and ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS are here to help PREPARE your skin for your holiday and New Year’s parties, and to REMEDY any damage you may have already suffered from while drinking.
In this blog we talk about the danger of alcohol to your skin, and how you can enjoy the occasional drink AND RADIANT SKIN all holidays long!
ALCOHOL AND SKIN

Everyone knows it’s important to opt for ALL-NATURAL and ALCOHOL-FREE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS, and this applies to drinking alcohol too. That’s because alcohol leads to two direct consequences – inflammation and dehydration. The resulting effects can cause larger pores, acne, and a significant loss of elasticity in your skin.
This is due to the fact that alcohol actually keeps nutrients away from your skin, which can hasten the aging process and give the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. Additionally, alcohol is what’s called a diuretic – meaning it draws moisture away from your body, leading to long-term and short-term skin problems you definitely don’t want. (2)
Before we go any further and scare you about the potential consequences of drinking, it’s important to distinguish what exactly drinking is. Drinking is normally considered the consumption of two drinks per day, which you may directly see in your skin’s moisture loss. In fact, the skin of people who excessively drink can be vastly and visibly different from those who don’t drink, especially in vitality and radiance. (3)
QUICK TIP: Alcohol can lead to a sugar spike, causing inflammation and potential breakouts. Keep your skin glowing and radiant all holidays long with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER PACKAGE! (4)
One of the reasons alcohol is so debilitating to your skin is because liquor causes you to release histamine that actually dilates your capillaries, causing inflammation and skin irritation – potentially long-term skin problems. It also dilates your pores, which can lead to sustained cystic acne.
Drinking can dehydrate your skin, regardless of skin type. To counter this, it's essential your body remain hydrated with the soothing nourishment of GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER PACKAGE!
Another problem alcohol causes involves your sleep. Alcohol can make sleeping difficult, which can directly interfere with your ability to shed and create new cells – your cellular turnover. Without proper regeneration, your skin can look dull and damaged, and for your skin to feel rough. (5)
It’s also important to note that alcohol is used as a preservative, so even if you’re not exactly drinking your alcohol, you may be hurting your skin as a result of alcohol being used in skin care products. Substitute ingredients and chemicals may be just as dangerous, which is why it’s best to opt for ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE PRODUCTS that are CHEMICAL-FREE! (6)

HYDRATE HYDRATE HYDRATE
Because alcohol is so dehydrating, the best way to counter its damage is to hydrate your skin. This involves both drinking a lot of water, and also being sure to moisturize and nourish your body. To do this during the crazy holiday season, it’s best to have and maintain a consistent ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE ROUTINE, especially at night.
In this routine, you should be sure that you have an ALL-NATURAL MOISTURIZER and CLEANSER, which can help remove bacteria, soothe your skin, and hydrate your body. Not only can a routine like this REVERSE potential alcohol damage, but it can also PREVENT it, giving you the peace of mind that some holiday bubbly and time stressors won’t hurt your skin. (7)
Just like it's important to drink water when drinking alcohol, it's important to hydrate your skin. Keep your skin glowing all holidays long by using GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER PACKAGE!
It’s also important to watch any current skin problems you might be suffering from, as alcohol can affect your microbiome, leading to immune system problems and the worsening of eczema. To fight this, it’s important to have an ALL-NATURAL ECZEMA ROUTINE that will help manage skin inflammation and pre-existing skin conditions. (8)
QUICK TIP: The key to maintaining good health is moderation. Take the proper steps to balance alcohol with an ALL-NATURAL SKIN CARE SYSTEM that will keep your skin looking radiant and healthy all holidays long! (9)
In addition to drinking water and consuming the necessary nutrients to counter the effects of alcohol, you also need to care for your face. Specifically, lathering on ALL-NATURAL FACIAL MOISTURIZER can help undo most of the skin damage incurred as a result of alcohol consumption.
The increased moisture and hydration of your face and body can also counter the effects of your body not maintaining the water you need. The resulting scaly, dry, and cracked skin can actually compound for years and be potentially irreversible, which is why an ALL-NATURAL MOISTURIZER PACKAGE is so important. (10)
It’s also important you get enough sleep, which can help your skin get the rest it needs, keeping fluids from accumulating on your face and a puffy appearance from hindering your skin. Adequate sleep can also help the rest of your body too, making your holidays more enjoyable and your days and nights less stressful. (11)
To get the sleep you need to fight the debilitating effects of alcohol, check out Garner’s Garden 100% All-Natural Sleep Mist Spray, which uses therapeutic grade lavender essential oil to fight headaches, kill bacteria on sheets and pillows, and help you get the good night’s sleep you deserve!
