Sun, alcohol and sugar are friends turned foes when it comes to your skin. Excess exposure to sun increases pigmentation, dehydration and sometimes causes sunburns. Alcohol causes dehydration increasing free radical levels in blood. Sugar weakens the skin protein collagen making skin more susceptible to sun damage accelerating wrinkling, sagging and skin aging.
