The Sneaky Way Halloween Is Ruining Your Skin — and What to Do About It

As if guzzling down drinks with names like Bloody Shirley Temple and Witches Brew weren't scary enough, drinking all that sugar may actually be aging you. Sugar glycates the collagen, Dr. Jaliman said, which weakens the skin's surface and makes it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles.

To keep yours from slowing down, look for collagen-revving ingredients like retinol, which you can find in Elizabeth Arden's Retinol Ceramide Capsules Night Serum ($84). (Halloween ballers on a budget, we've got you: Pixi's brand-new Retinol Tonic [$15] is also a great, and affordable, option.)
