How to Improve & Protect Your Skin Health & Appearance | Dr. Teo Soleymani

Some people are very sensitive and they have changes that reflect in the skin as a result of drinking a lot. And then there are some people who tolerate it more or maybe consuming things that are healthier for the gut microbiome, like things like fermented alcohols, like kombucha and things like that. So generally speaking, the higher the concentration, the greater the the problems.

The higher the percentage of alcohol, the greater the problems. That includes the diuretic effects, that includes effects on the gut microbiome, that includes lifestyle habits. If you're drinking a lot of higher percentage alcohols, you tend to feel the effects, you know, not just in the skin cognitively, behavior-wise, that can affect you.

Whereas sometimes lower concentration alcohols, depending on the setting and lifestyle, may be net neutral may be positive. I'm clear on that part.

Generally not. Same as what we've seen with other organ systems, the brain, the liver, the skin reflects the same thing. If anything, it may be a net neutral. Most of the time, it's a net negative.

Great question. That's another common misconception that I see in that thinking drinking a lot of water or drinking a lot of fluids will directly affect the hydration status of their skin. And while there's a certain degree of truth to that if you're dehydrated in that you need replenishment of fluid systemically,

Every study that's looked at transepidermal water loss has not shown a great connection with regular fluid intake and water intake and skin hydration status. We find that that tends to be genetically defined and genetically encoded. Some people have drier skin. They need more methods to moisturize their skin. Some people have oilier skin, and their sebum provides that moisturization.

Now, if you're doing things, if you're active... If you're an athlete, if you're doing things in which you are dehydrated, then totally different story. But if you're living a more or less balanced life or a sedentary life and you're doing all the regular things, drinking a lot of water or fluids has not been shown to improve skin health.
