Have you tried dried and flavoured seaweed, for example? They’re packed full of nutrients and as tasty as a bag of crisps (really!).

How about aqua-infusion face masks, which help fight ageing while providing much-needed winter refreshment?

Premier Cru anti-ageing products

Caudalie says the four products in its Premier Cru range can literally reverse the signs of ageing.

It’s thanks to the discovery of an enzyme, named TET (Ten-Eleven Translocation), that stops our DNA from taking on signs of ageing caused by environmental factors such as sun damage and smoking.

Buy from £47, from Caudalie.

AlumierMD Aqua Infusion Mask

AlumierMD Aqua Infusion Mask is super hydrating thanks to three sizes of hyaluronic acid which penetrate different layers of the skin.

The addition of hydroviton also fights age-induced hydration, while a gorgonian extract acts as an anti-irritant to soothe redness.

Buy for £40 from AlumierMD.

Lilk Blends

If you’re doing Veganuary, it’s worth checking out Lilk’s range of plant-based milk alternatives.

There are two new blends, The Common Blend (oats and rice) and The Lush Blend (oats, coconut and quinoa), which are high in calcium but use blended grains to bring you the taste and texture of the real thing.

Buy from £1.90, from Ocado.
