Is it just my scars that look 100 times worse the day after drinking alcohol?!

I'm not sure if it's because I'm looking closer.

Has anyone got any tips to avoid this?!

I am the opposite - alcohol always puffs me up so my scars actually look better. My skin tone looks worse though but then I just drink water all day and it looks normal again the next day.

Use manuka honey to prevent acne build up. You can apply manuka honey cream or eat pure manuka honey everyday to get a healthy and clearer skin. Alcohol can reduce the functionality of the liver that can result to a bad skin. Alcohol is one of the known cause of liver damage. The liver is an important organ in the body that is also responsible in maintaining a healthy skin.

Helpful.

I always look normal the day after too but the actual day after is a nightmare. 'Not drinking alcohol' another helpful poster isn't an option sometimes and why should I let my scars stop me doing things?!

It's not great when you've got something on the next day though and you look terrible!

I've not got acne anymore. I meant scarring x

It's probably dehydration from drinking alcohol, try and use lots of moisturiser and drink plenty water before and after you have a drink, my skin looks like shit the day after a night out as well

Probably dehydration like the above poster said. I dont drink but it has happened to me when I am very dehydrated and my skin looks horrendous.

Alcohol really dries out the skin. Seriously, every pore on my face gets magnified 20x after a heavy night of drinking. I pretty much gave it up and I can't even remember the last time I drank alcohol. Dehydration does make acne scars even more prominent. I find the things that make my skin look even worse are poor sleep and dehydration.

Yes! A lot worse.

A mix of being dehydrated and sleep deprivation.
