Alcohol can disrupt your skin’s health in a variety of ways: it can cause redness, puffiness, and wrinkles. It has a lot of sugar, and can even deplete you from essential nutrients, such as vitamin A. The latter is very important for your skin’s health and youthful appearance, as collagen production is impossible without vitamin A.
Apart from that, alcohol is a trigger for rosacea, especially among people of Asian descent, as their bodies often cannot cope with the end products of alcohol, which, in turn, causes redness all over their face and body.
Once again, there is no need to cut out alcohol completely out of your diet to maintain your skin’s elasticity, but limit it to holidays and celebrations and opt for vine, which contains a lot of anti-aging antioxidants.
9. Avoid Frying On Very High Heat
Avoid frying foods at high temperatures if you’re using polyunsaturated oils, such as canola, corn, vegetable or sunflower oil. Bringing these oils to high temperatures can release harmful free radicals, which, in turn, will raise inflammation levels in the skin.
And though it may seem that you’re not consuming a lot of oil, just try blotting the foods you fry on a paper towel and you’ll see for yourself how much of coats your foods. Blotting oil off foods won’t help anyway, as the harmful compounds can penetrate your food.
Instead, choose olive or coconut oil for frying, as it can counteract inflammation and contains vitamin E, essential for skin health.
