Desserts
Sweets and sweets are harmful to both teeth and skin.

After eating something sweet, experts recommend rinsing your mouth with water to protect your teeth and remove residue.Alcohol
When the liver is functioning well, toxins that can disturb the skin are naturally excreted from the body. But if the liver accumulates toxins and cannot get rid of them, various problems, such as acne and wrinkles, begin to develop. Alcohol hinders the liver's work, contributes to dehydration and can prevent us from getting a good rest, which is another vital aspect of staying young. To have healthy skin it is important that the liver is healthy.White wine
White wine is assigned to a separate category for its ability to damage tooth enamel. White wine can make your teeth more vulnerable to stains. The advice in this case is to wait at least an hour before brushing your teeth after drinking white wine, to avoid damaging the enamel.

Dehydrated skin is likely to appear older. For those who regularly drink caffeinated drinks, experts recommend applying a hyaluronic acid moisturizer to the skin.Trans and hydrogenated fats
