Holistic medicine people overstate the case against using alcohol on your face, but long term use of alcohol on your face can damage your skin. People with sensitive skin should avoid using rubbing alcohol because it can cause dryness and peeling. This dryness can cause the skin to produce more oil, worsening any acne problem. If your want to use it because of pimples, you might try spot treatment with it, just putting it on the pimples.
