The festive season is all about indulgence, and for many of us, that includes plenty of sugary treats. While the celebrations may be over, the effects of sugar on our skin and overall health can still linger. However, now is the perfect time to reset and give your body the care it deserves.
Excess sugar from festive indulgence can weaken collagen—the essential framework that keeps skin firm and smooth. Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), formed when sugar reacts with proteins and fats in the body, can stiffen collagen fibres. This process results in fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness, leaving skin less vibrant and firm—a phenomenon often referred to as “sugar sag.”
The effects of sugar don’t stop at the skin. It can also cause inflammation, strain the liver and kidneys, and disrupt gut health, leaving you feeling sluggish while fuelling further cravings.
Now is the time to focus on replenishing and nourishing your skin and body. Drinking plenty of water, eating antioxidant-rich foods, and incorporating treatments that promote hydration and collagen production can help repair the damage and restore your glow.
For an added boost, the Advanced Nutrition Programme offers supplements designed to accelerate recovery:
Skin Collagen Support: Boosts collagen and enhances skin firmness.
Skin Clear Biome: Restores gut health and reduces inflammation for a balanced complexion.
Skin Youth Biome: Improves skin hydration, firmness, and radiance.
Skin Omegas+: Replenishes and calms the skin for a healthy, nourished appearance.
Skin Vitality: A comprehensive multivitamin to support overall recovery and energy levels.
By pairing these supplements with targeted treatments, such as collagen-boosting facials or lymphatic drainage massages, you can kickstart your post-festive recovery and embrace the new year feeling healthier, more radiant, and ready to shine.
