So word on the block this week is that if you love wine, you probably have wine face.
Devo, we know.
According to naturopathic doctor and skincare specialist Nigma Talib, typical symptoms include “pronounced lines or redness between the eyes, droopy eyelids, enlarged pores, dehydrated skin, reddish cheeks and nose, deep nasolabial folds.”
She told the Daily Mail: “I call this ‘wine face’ because these characteristics are so distinctive of women who enjoy a glass or two on most nights of the week, but the truth is these ageing characteristics can be triggered by any kind of alcohol.”
How to combat it? Abstinence.
Now that doesn’t suit us so we’ve decided not to believe this skincare advice and instead to demonstrate to you ten of OUR wine faces, as told by our favourite celebrities.
The “I’m stressed and I need wine” face.
Here’s where we block out everyone who’s wrecking our t*ts and imagine them with wine glasses for heads. It’s called mindfulness.
The “I must resist wine” face.
Here’s where we remind ourselves that it’s 11am on a Monday morning and ask the universe to grant us the strength to wait ’til 6pm.
The “justification of wine” face.
We deserve one glass at lunch. We don’t have to get drunk every time we have a glass of wine. Actually, having just one would prove our adulthood.
The “I’m so glad I decided to have a glass of wine” face.
No one talk to us. We’re savouring.
The “I can’t concentrate on this conversation because I want one more glass” face.
It would be entirely appropriate I think. I’m actually just thirsty – and I prefer the taste to water. So yeah, definitely appropriate.
The “hit-me-up-with-one-more-wine” face.
Less judging, more pouring.
The “I’m definitely tipsy from this wine” face.
The point of no return. Here’s where we announce we’re sort of feeling it, and everyone else thinks “sort of”?.
The “I’m not going to do anything today except drink wine” face.
Do you know what makes sense right now? Drinking a lot more wine. Because problems.
The “I think I only said that because of the wine” face.
Ah, ‘honesty hour’ is upon us. The wine made us say it. And we can’t stop… “And as for YOU.”
The “I’ve-had-too-much-wine” face.
We can’t remember exactly what we’re crying about but we’re definitely upset and it’s definitely valid. P.s. When did someone attach sandbags to our eyelids?
