Comer muito doce faz mal para a pele? E tomar bebida alcoólica?

Does eating too much sugar harm the skin? What about drinking alcohol?

Who here is feeling the effects of the year-end holidays? We are talking about the good feelings, reuniting with family and friends, and all the celebration that this period can provide.

But we also know that it is hard to resist the temptations: sweets, countless toasts with alcoholic beverages, and the next day, many people feel the post-binge effects on their skin.

The human body is composed of 60 to 70% water. Since alcohol has a diuretic effect, it hinders hydration. Because of this, the dermis becomes drier, wrinkles and fine lines become more visible, and even other conditions can worsen, such as psoriasis, rosacea, and dermatitis.

Excess sugar, on the other hand, acts differently. Glycation – a process that binds sugar and carbohydrates to proteins like collagen and elastin – can cause:

  • Lack of vitality and glow due to dehydration, since the skin has more difficulty absorbing water;
  • Loss of elasticity, due to the stiffening of collagen;
  • Increase in blemishes, due to the excess release of melanin;
  • Appearance of acne;
  • Greater sensitivity.

What to do?

No, we are not going to ask you to stop having fun. 😊 Enjoy yourself, but with balance!

Savor the flavors, eat slowly, include fruits and vegetables in your meals, and alternate alcoholic drinks with water. Afterward, get back to your routine and take care of your skin to minimize the impacts.

Do cosmetics help?

Yes! Maintaining your skincare routine can help alleviate these symptoms.

We suggest applying the Copaíba Facial Foam upon waking and before sleeping. It contains copalic acid, which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic, and healing properties. Furthermore, it cleanses deeply without harming the skin's pH or barrier.

The Copaíba line also includes a serum, facial cream, and body lotion, which provide a glow effect. Copaiba oil has a high capacity to reflect light, leaving the skin illuminated.

Multi-benefits

Another ally for post-party skin is Liquid Forest. It contains a special blend of eight 100% pure, highly complex Amazonian oils, such as rosewood, passion fruit, and Brazil nut. This powerful and multifunctional natural combination hydrates, tones, and restores the face, body, and even hair.

Take care of your skin and enjoy the new year with glow and health!
