Eat skinfriend­ly foods

-

A healthy diet helps offset drinking, says Lola Biggs, dietician at Together Health. ‘Skin is better equipped to manage alcohol if you eat alcohol-defying foods.’ Try Lola’s suggestion­s throughout the party season, rather than shoehornin­g them in on drinking days.

✱ DARK LEAFY GREENS

Kale and broccoli are high in chlorophyl­l, which absorb toxins from the bloodstrea­m.

✱ TURMERIC

This spice supports the liver. Add to curries, soups or lattes, or take a turmeric supplement.

✱ OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

Put avocados in smoothies and eat oily, fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel to counteract inflammati­on – a driver of premature skin ageing.

✱ BERRIES

Blueberrie­s, blackberri­es and blackcurra­nts are bursting with nutrients that fight the impact of alcohol. Add to smoothies and yogurt.

✱ GREEN TEA

Packed with components that support recovery, this provides L-theanine, which stops ‘hangxiety’.
