When you drink alcohol does your face break out?

You might be sensitive to some ingredient.\nI've seen people get hives, turn red and splotchy around the eyes, break into a sweat and get weak, etc after drinking even small amounts. These same people will have no adverse effects with a different drink on a different night.

Contrary to what you may have heard, acne is not caused by dirty skin, eating chocolate, or drinking lots of soda. Acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin. These glands become stimulated when puberty hormones become active. Some people have more of a reaction to their hormone levels than others, which is why different people have different levels of acne.\n\nAlthough there is no surefire way to prevent acne, there are several ways to help reduce the number and severity of your breakouts. \n\nWashing your skin is essential (it helps remove excess surface oils and dead skin cells that can clog your pores), but washing too much can actually cause damage by overdrying your skin or irritating existing acne. \n\nRemember to wash after exercising because sweat can clog your pores and make your acne worse. If you work around greasy food or oil or if you've been sweating from heat or because you've been working hard, wash your face and other acne-prone areas as soon as possible.\n\nIf you use skin products, such as lotions or makeup, look for ones that are noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic, which means that they don't clog pores. \n\nIf you can't live without your hair spray or styling gel, be sure to keep them away from your face as much as possible. Many hair products contain oils that can make acne worse. \n\nIf you get acne on areas such as your chest or back, avoid wearing tight clothes, which can rub and cause irritation. \n\nSome teens find that over-the-counter products can help clear up acne. It may take some time to find the one that works best for you - some may not do the trick and others may cause irritation. Over-the-counter acne products come in different strengths; the typical acne-fighting ingredients are benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. \n\nIf you find over-the-counter products aren't working for you, it's best to seek a doctor's advice. A doctor can prescribe special gels or creams, pills, or a combination of both. It may feel a bit awkward or embarrassing to talk about your acne with someone, especially a stranger, but your doctor is trained to help get your skin looking its best. \n\nWhat about pimples you already have? It's tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple usually won't get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push infected material and pus further into the skin, which can lead to more swelling and redness (not what you want before a big date!), and even scarring, which can be permanent.\n\nIf you are taking a prescription acne medication, finish your entire prescription even if your skin clears up, unless your dermatologist says you can stop. If you stop too early, there's a chance your skin could break out all over again.\n\nEating nutritious foods can help keep you healthy of course, and your skin will benefit from getting enough vitamins and minerals. But the bottom line is that you don't need to be obsessive about what you eat or how often you wash your face to control acne. If you don't find an over-the-counter product that works for you, talk to your doctor or a dermatologist for some advice on living through the acne years.

haven't found a cure, but watch out that stuff it kills your liver, get off now and get proactive.  it works great.  DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR GET PREGNANT WHILE ON IT!!! if you drink watch out it will make you sick as a dog.  if you are planning on getting pregnant in the next year to year and a half get off it now or you will have a messed up baby.  if your doctor did not put you on birth control get on it now as well.  about the drinking my doctor told me that acutane and drinking will litterally kill you so just be carful in everything you do while on it.  and remember after a while you will become immune to it.  if you are in your twenties or younger you will grow out of it. keep your stress level down and do everything that triggers acne to a minimum.  try to excercise more and drink your water and you will be alright.  soaps to use ivory if you have oily skin, proactive system, if you can't afford that loreal pure zone is a great over the counter system. it contains soap, astringent, and the lotion use it all on a regular basis and you will see a difference in a week or so.  but as far as acutane (from experince) i would get off it.

Well there are a few differnt reasons it can happen. Infection of the hair folicles, Irritation , and ingrown hairs.\n\nThe best way to shave is to shave with a new or sharp razor and shaving cream for sensative skin, shave in one direction to limit the irritation, and do not apply alot of pressure. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin, and possibly clog your pores. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nAnd yes it will itch but the Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

alcoholl thins your blood and kinda numbs your senses so you cant get it up.  the real thing is the blood thinning though thats what causes it.  same thing happens with coc but its the numbing of your nerves is why it happens with coc.

Not as far as I know....milk thistle I use for my alcohol problem hehehe no, it's used to cleanse the liver.  For acne, I would use Agnus Castus (hormone balancer) and 50mg zinc (if you get angry red lumps on your face).... now I am boooootiful!!!!lol\n\nBut try other vitamins as Vit A and starflower oil are also good for the skin.....don't forget to give them at least 3 months before they kick in as with all medication!!!\n\nX

Simply: the alcohol evaporates from the surface of your skin.  Energy (heat) from your skin produces this evaporation so your skin is cooled.\nSweat does something similar, but since it requires a higher temperature to evaporate, the effect is less marked.

2. Alcohol in low and moderate doses causes a dilation of blood vessels in the skin.\n\nThis is why drinkers sometimes have a flushed face and heavy drinkers a red nose.\n\nAs well as causing the skin to turn pink, alcohol also makes the skin feel warm, which is why one of its traditional uses has been to treat people who have been exposed to the cold. Brandy especially is supposed to warm the body.\n\n\n\nP.S. The flushing of the sking and sweating does NOT indicate an allergy to alcohol.  These are not even symptoms typical of an allergic reaction.

Try and drink a lot of water...that's good you are cutting back on alcohol. Maybe you can see a doctor and they can refer you to a dermatologist if you're skin problem persists. Sometimes little bumps can be clogged pores, which might be cleared with an exfoliating scrub...but I'm not positive if these are the kind you are talking about. \nWell, hope it gets better soon.

Take a Vitamin E supplement.Wash make-up off at the end of each day. After taking a hot shower and washing face, swab rubbing alcohol on face- the heat from the shower causes the pores in the face to open up, and the alcohol cleans and washes bacteria away, but beware, doing this too much could dry your skin out, leaving you with another issue to deal with. Proactive seems to work on most, but it gets expensive....Or you could try the make-up line "Clinique", its specially designed for sensative skin and even has cleaning solutions for acne.

First off what everyone is saying is correct you body is cleansing itself of toxins. What is causeing the breakouts is the residue and oils dirt ect.. being left on you skin and the fact that the soaps your using are porbably not helping. Avoid anything with benzoal peroxide i.e. clearasil ect... it causes redness and is very allergetic. You need to use a non-comedogenic (anti pore clogging) cleanser and a ligth moisturizing lotion. Mary kay has very good stuff. So does Nutrogina.

I get headaches at that time and especially if I drink alcohol. It's because alcohol can dehydrate you. It also makes me drunk faster too.When you have your period you get dehydrated anyway. You are losing fluids. You need to drink extra water and stay away from the liquor.

Alcohol is full of sugar.  Drinking (or getting drunk, or whatever) will make it difficult to build muscle mass simply because drinking is equivalent to eating chocolate, or cake, or anything else with sugar for that matter.  When you consume any form of simple sugar (processed goodies or alcohol) your pancreas must release more insulin to stabilize blood sugar (and when you drink heavily, or eat lots of sweets) you blow your insulin level through the roof!  You can dehydrate yourself this way...and this is how your muscles feel so terrible after drinking.

It could be an allergy to something in the drink , or the alcohol itslef.  Some people are allergic to the sulpher in wine...;
