What is wine face? Skincare expert suggests easy tips to get rid of it during this festive season 

During this festive season, you may have received invitations to late-night parties and dinners. However, staying up late and consuming alcohol can sometimes result in a puffy or "wine face."

To address this, skin specialist and aesthetic nurse Emma Wedgwood has shared some top tricks to alleviate the effects of a "wine face".

She suggests drinking lemon water or bone broth to rehydrate from the inside out. Additionally, using hydrating eye creams containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid can be beneficial.

Alcohol consumption often leads to dryness and cracked lips. To combat this, it is recommended to opt for a hydrating lip balm. These tips aim to counteract the potential effects of late-night festivities on your skin.

“Alcohol dilates blood vessels, causing redness and flushing, which can be particularly noticeable in those with conditions like rosacea,” Wedgwood said.

“For individuals with pre-existing skin conditions, alcohol can worsen symptoms, leading to increased redness and inflammation over time.”

To reduce redness, she advises reaching for a calming lotion made for sensitive skin.
