Alcohol & Your Skin!!!!

During a lunch meet-up with a close fren, he suddenly told me out of the blue that drinking too much alcohol is bad because it causes enlarged pores. Hence, i went to google and tis is wat i found:-

" People generally think alcohol is bad for the skin just because it tends to dehydrate it. They erroneously believe that if they drink plenty of water the following day they can offset its negative effects.

However, the reality is that alcohol creates inflammation throughout the body, including the skin, which results in deleterious effects that far outlast dehydration. These include dullness, enlarged pores, discoloration, sagging and lack of resilience. The blood flow to the skin is altered, giving one an unhealthy appearance for days following the ingestion of a large amount of alcohol."

It's TRUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEE... i am freaked. No more alcohol for me from now on. Cheers to Teetotalism!
