Happy Hour Is Officially Good For You Thanks to This Wrinkle-Fighting Gin

Jun 18 2016 - 8:00pm

Excessive imbibing at happy hour can result in more ramifications than a throbbing headache and some incriminating photos. Sallow skin, dark circles [1], and severe dehydration are just a few of the consequences our complexions face after a night of cocktail indulgence. But now, a new gin is promising to fight your skin concerns [2] while you get your drink on.

Anti-aGin (yes, that's the brilliant name) contains a blend of antiaging botanicals as well as edible collagen. Collagen is a protein that gives our skin strength, elasticity, and suppleness. Our bodies naturally slow in collagen production as we age, resulting in hides with more fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging [3].

In recent years, many women have turned to taking oral supplements containing the ingredient, in lieu of topically applying it. Dermatologists report that there can be benefits to collagen consumption [4], with some studies reporting enhanced skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction.

While Anti-aGin isn't the first drinkable form of collagen [5], we're excited to have a new, fun antiaging alternative in our skin care regimen. After all, it's rare that a vice is actually good for you! The liquor is currently sold out [6], but we'll be checking back religiously so we can stock up. Now we have to find some new gin cocktail recipes [7] . . .
