If your skin has ever reacted to drinking wine, you’re not alone. While many of us experience facial flushing when nursing a glass of chablis, there are numerous other ways drinking wine can negatively impact your overall skin health. Naturopathic doctor and beauty expert Dr Isabel Sharkar, co-founder of the Indigo Integrative Health Clinic in Washington DC, US, explains that skin reactions attributed to drinking wine can range from dry, dehydrated skin and redness to inflammation, rashes, and the exacerbation of acne.
“What we eat and drink has a direct impact on our faces, skin and bodies. Wine is going to affect everyone differently,” she says. “Some people may have a food sensitivity to grapes, which can cause your body and skin to feel more inflamed. Other people may have a sensitivity to sugar or alcohol. And with all the pesticides, chemicals and additives added to the wine, it’s difficult to say exactly what is causing a reaction.”
