Want to start off the new year with your best skin yet? The festive season can have a big impact on our skin - that’s why we’re here to help you understand why and help get your skin back on track! In this article, we will be breaking down our three top tips on how you can keep your skin fresh in the new year. You’ll be glowing in no time!
1. Stay Hydrated
We all know what it's like at the end of the year - the drinks are flowing, and there is a different party or get-together every night. All the alcohol and excess consumption can leave our skin dehydrated. Drinking water is so important for our overall health, not to mention, our skin.
Make sure you drink plenty of water each day to retain skin elasticity and plumpness . Ensuring you consume a lot of liquid can also help to flush out harmful toxins from your body and brighten your overall complexion. Here are some tell-tale signs you may not be drinking enough:
- Dryness
- Flakiness,
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Sagging skin
- Dull complexion
- Spots
- Blemishes
- Acne
2. What Does Sugar Do to Your Skin?
Did you know that sugar breaks down the collagen and elastin in our skin? These are the very proteins that give our skin shape, structure, and firmness. Our skin is composed of collagen elastin, which can make us feel soft and supple. But, unfortunately, sugar can cause cross-linking of collagen, which can reverse this. By intaking too much sugar, your skin can begin to feel stiff and lose that elasticity.
Sugar, and also alcohol, can cause inflammation. Both of these in tandem will break down collagen, which can impact signs of ageing dramatically. Speaking of alcohol, it can also deplete our body’s vitamin levels. The fewer vitamins we have present in our bodies means that less collagen will be naturally produced. Not only that, but ensuring you have a vitamin-rich diet comes with many other health benefits, notably for our hair, nails, and skin.
3. Liquid Collagen Is A Must!
Looking after our skin from within is just as, and if not, more important than sticking to an effective skincare routine.
Multi-step skincare routines can be overwhelming and time-consuming though, which is why we recommend trying liquid collagen. Why? Not only is it an all-in-one beauty solution for hair, skin, and nails, it’s super convenient and doesn’t require a bathroom sink!
Each and every box of Revive Collagen contains 14 or 28 ready-to-drink sachets (if you subscribe you can also save up to £12 per month!), and you only need to take one of these a day to get the best results within 6-8 weeks. Not to mention, they taste better than your average collagen supplement!
Our ready-to-drink collagen products each have their own unique formula plus added beauty ingredients and essential vitamins to cater to various beauty concerns. So, whether you are drinking your collagen in the morning alongside your cup of coffee, or whilst taking off your makeup in the evening, it’s a no-brainer for your 2023 beauty routine.
