Hello baby skin: this is what a break period does to your skin

Do you also dream of that peach skin with a healthy blush? And that you come to work in the morning and your colleagues say: gosh, you are glowing! You look really good! Everyone is happy with comments like this. Good news: beautiful skin with accompanying natural glow is closer than you think.

And what exactly does drinking alcohol have to do with having or not having a glowing skin, you might ask? Well, that's it. Alcohol has a diuretic effect, so you have to go to the toilet more often during your night out/dinner/visiting friends. This causes your body to lose more fluid at a rapid pace. In addition, alcohol reduces the production of the antidiuretic hormone, which normally helps the body absorb fluids again.

Dull misery

Thanks to drinking alcohol, you therefore have to go to the toilet more often and the production of the antidiuretic hormone decreases perceptibly. Added up, this causes a moisture deficiency in your body and you can see that in your skin. After an evening of looking too deeply into the glass, your face often looks gray and dull the next day and feels less supple. During the break period you will notice a big difference in your skin within a few days. It will be more hydrated and therefore look younger and fresher.

Only benefits

Radiant skin isn't the only thing you'll be pleasantly surprised with during your break. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones and you sleep much better too, you fall en passant lose a kilo or so, exercise better than ever before or have significantly more money left over at the end of the month instead of the other way around. A break period really pays off!
