8. Reduce or Stop Drinking Alcohol

Drinking alcohol dehydrates your skin and drains it of important nutrients, giving skin a dry appearance. Over drinking may result in red, spidery veins. In order to avoid this, experts recommend drinking moderately- ideally no more than two drinks a day or completely stopping your alcohol consumption. If you think you may have an alcohol problem make sure to ask for help and learn about alcohol treatment options. Furthermore, drinking has been linked to an increase in oxidative stress and the highly reactive metabolite acetaldehyde within it is the key driver for skin damage. Chronic alcohol consumption also leads to mitochondrial dysfunction. Excess drinking has also been proven to shorten telomeres (protective structures at the end of chromosomes), accelerating aging. Binge drinking seems to be the most harmful and can age you incredibly.
