January is the ultimate "reset" month. While many focus on diet and exercise resolutions, you can also use this fresh start to recommit to your skincare routine. By blending your lifestyle changes with targeted products, you can achieve results that go deeper than the surface.

Have you joined the "Dry January" crowd and cut out drinking this month? Not only will your liver thank you, but your complexion will benefit from the positive side-effects, too!

Alcohol is a powerful diuretic that triggers systemic inflammation and 'micro-wrinkles.' Think of alcohol like a bad hydration debt: it makes your body flush out far more liquid than the drink itself provides. This creates an immediate deficit, forcing your body to steal moisture from your skin cells just to keep your vital organs running.

Abstaining from alcohol allows your skin to finally retain the water it needs to stay plump and bouncy. To amplify this internal hydration, you need a routine that locks it in from the outside. Here is how to keep your complexion plump, bright, and resilient all winter long:

Step 1: Hydrating Cleanse
Start with Creme de la Creme Hydrant Cleanser. This creamy cleanser removes dirt and oil without stripping the moisture barrier. Soothing Vitamin E + Aloe Vera gel and Algae Extract help increase skin flexibility and moisture content in the skin.

Step 2: The "Damp Skin" Technique
Don't apply moisturizer to bone-dry skin! After cleansing, saturate your face with Eau De Ginseng Nutrient Toner. It is loaded with liquid collagen and vitamins to replenish what the winter air (and previous holiday cocktails) stripped away. Applying your next steps while your face is still damp helps beneficial nutrients sink deeper and work more effectively.

Step 3: Seal & Protect 
Finish with a high-performance moisturizer to lock in that hydration and bolster skin flexibility. Choose one that best fits your needs:

• For Dry/Aging Skin: Born Firm Anti-Aging Moisturizer uses Red Marine Algae & Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration and a reduction in wrinkles and lines.
  
• For Oily/Winter-Dry Skin: Born Clear Oil-Control Moisturizer soothes the moisture barrier without a heavy or greasy feel. This product is a gamechanger for problematic skin that still needs hydration.
  
• Lightweight but Highly Moisturizing: Peptide Lift & Firm moisturizing complex is enriched with Peptides, CoQ10, and Squalane. It offers anti-aging benefits in a lightweight formula.
• For Daytime Protection: Radiant Vital C SPF 30 is the daily moisturizer you shouldn't live without, even in winter weather. Nourishing antioxidants and avocado oil to give your skin a healthy glow while sunscreen ingredients protect against UV damage.

Extra Credit:
We wanted to keep things simple with a 3-step routine, but if maximum hydration is your mission, then adding one of these serums can seriously amplify your results:

• Adv Stem Cell Age-Delay Serum was recently reformulated with a triple ceramide lipid complex, plus a medley of beneficial antioxidants designed to deeply nourish and protect the moisture barrier. This serum also uses apple stem cells to help replenish and protect your skin's natural stem cells and defend against environmental damage.
• Hyaluronic Line Filler features 4-dimensional hyaluronic acid that can target and penetrate different levels, from the surface to deeper layers of the skin. Get this to help with instant plumping and line filling, and an increase in suppleness over time.
