Skin care material does not need to be Taahir as far as you wash the Najis item before Salah. That also after being sure that the skin care is Najis. Not every alcohol is Najis according to many of our leading scholars.

Doubtful material (whether Najis or not) can be taken as Taahir till you have evidence that it is Najis.

Asslamu Alaykom,

According to many scholars, one should completely avoid serving alcohol and pork meat. Some other scholars such as Sayed Muhammad Shirazi, stated that one can serve pork only to non-Muslims. You would need to check this with your marja to see what their ruling is.

May Allah grant you success

What is the right method to seek forgiveness from Allah after committing adultery while under the influence of alcohol? How can I rectify the situation and alleviate the inner torment caused by my guilt?

Alcohol . Silat al-Rahm

I understand it is not permissible in Islam to cut off relation with any relatives, but what if that relative is an unbeliever, has alcohol in their homes, and at times would even disrespect our belief and our Imams?

It is not allowed to cut off relation with any of our relatives even if they are bad as far as we don't support them in their bad acts. We must keep up with every relative.
