DRY JANUARY 🍷 we might be starting 12 days late, but better late than never, right? And after this festive period, we are feeling a little like Zoe Deschanel. The struggle is real.

Our skin: the largest organ in the human body; and coincidentally the only exposed organ in the human body is on a daily basis made vulnerable to environmental pollutants, and other mechanical and chemical insults. It is the muse of a multibillion-dollar industry and the idea of it looking “young” and “clear” are a state of skin that everybody is trying in vain to achieve. We don’t blame you; we are too! But there are many more factors that influence the way the skin looks, and thanks to gravity, will age. Unfortunately, aging is not a choice but a consequence of time, and one that we should all probably embrace (damn!).

What’s on the outside is often a reflection of what’s going on on the inside. This includes, excessive alcohol consumption, poor nutrition, overeating and psychological stresses; these are what we call extrinsic skin stresses. The good news is, we have the ability to reduce such stresses through better choices.

Dry January is a popular time of the year where many people tighten the reigns and jump on the proverbial wagon in an effort to minimise hangovers and regain their “health”. And we’re down! Some of the immediate benefits of abstaining from alcohol for a month are improved total night REM sleep; better nutrition habits as well as exercise and performance; improved skin health and appearance; and, you’ll probably feel a whole lot happier. We are not saying that a few glasses of wine are bad for you – we love wine! And as a matter of fact, red wine is filled with antioxidants, did we mention that we love wine?

Although, we’ll admit, there is no rule of law defining periods of our calendar year when ceasing or minimising alcohol consumption should begin and or end. This self-guided endeavour, or conquest for some, should probably be at the top of your priority list for the self. So, just because we are already 12 days into January does not mean you cannot start now. In the name of Carrie Bradshaw, save your carbs for wine next month!

The stores are brimming with keen shoppers at this festive time of year, and sometimes we feel a bit like this guy, ready to get out and go home. So let us assist you, swipe right to check out our Advanced Skincare Set you’re not going to want to miss out on! @ Manchester, United Kingdom
