PRESS RELEASE: “Dry July” for Your Skin? Why Going Booze-Free Should Extend to Your Skincare Routine
Australians are gearing up for Dry July, ditching the drinks to give their bodies and minds a much-needed reset. But while we’re all aware of how alcohol affects us internally, there’s one surprising place it’s still sneaking in—our skincare.
That’s right—alcohol is one of the most common ingredients in face creams, toners, cleansers, and even serums. And while it’s often added for quick absorption or a matte finish, what many people don’t realise is how harsh and drying it can be to the skin, especially when used consistently.
“People are quick to clean up what they eat or drink, but rarely think to check what they’re putting on their skin,” says a local skincare expert. “It’s like committing to a health detox while still pouring vodka into your smoothie.”
So what happens when you try a ‘Dry July’ for your skin?
Just like giving up alcohol can transform your energy and clarity, removing alcohol-based skincare products could mean less dryness, reduced irritation, and more radiant, hydrated skin—in as little as 30 days. And the results can be especially noticeable for those over 30, whose skin naturally produces less oil and becomes more prone to sensitivity.
With more Australians seeking natural, non-toxic beauty options, a new wave of clean, alcohol-free skincare is rising to meet demand. Brands like Australia’s Homepeel are leading the charge with cosmeceutical-grade, alcohol-free formulations designed to support skin health without the hidden irritants.
Not sure if your products contain alcohol?
Flip the bottle. Look out for ingredients like Ethanol, Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol, or Alcohol Denat. If they’re high on the ingredients list, your skin might be thirstier than you think.
