We ate, drank and danced our way into January. Now, thanks to the alcohol, festive treats and too much make-up, we are left with lacklustre complexions and saggy-looking skin.
It’s time to ditch the post-Christmas zombie look and give our skin the extra care it needs this month. Here’s our pick of skincare goods to get you glowing again in no time.
La Roche-Posay Serozinc
This soothing mist can be used as a toner after cleansing or any time throughout the day. Made with zinc sulphate, the product targets blemishes, acne and oiliness for a fresh complexion, £8.50, escentual.com

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask
Designed to combat congestion, blackheads and blemishes, REN’s fruity-smelling peel mask instantly reveals a brighter skin tone and smaller pores once removed. Its extracts of fruits like lemon and pineapple ensure tired complexions are given a healthy and radiant glow. £30, feelunique.com

Elemis has used Micro-Lattice Technology to create this effective gel serum, which penetrates the skin deeper than moisturiser. Use for firmer skin on the tummy area, bottom and arms. £46, lookfantastic.com
