Alcohol: It acts as a diuretic in the body, meaning it draws out liquid from the body. This can lead to dehydration and sap moisture from the skin, which in turn can make your skin dry. Further, this can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more pronounced.
Salty Foods: These are other culprit behind your dry skin. When you eat too much salt, your body draws more fluid out of the cells to help neutralize the salt. Lack of fluid in the body then causes your skin to become drier. So, if you’re eating a lot of salty food, make sure you drink loads of water too in order to balance things out.
Sugar: Too much sugar in the bloodstream can cause cross-linking of collagen, which can lead to stiffening and loss of elasticity of your skin. As your skin is made up of collagen, lack of this protein in your diet can make your skin to lose firmness and shape. Sugar can also weaken and dry out the skin.
Refined Carbohydrates: Processed carbohydrates such as white rice, bread, and pasta can damage the collagen in your skin the same way sugar can. Collagen loss can make you skin lose its elasticity and become more prone to wrinkles and sagging.
Foods High in Vitamin A: Excessive amounts of vitamin A in your body can cause skin dryness, hair loss, cracked lips, weakened bones, headaches, and more. Foods that are good sources of vitamin A include fish liver oils, liver, egg yolks, butter, cream, and fortified milk. If you’re taking vitamin A supplements, stopping it may help. But consult your doctor before you do so.
