Tip #1: Try Tallow-Based Skincare Products
Just because your wine glasses may be dry during January doesn’t mean your skin has to be. When you use artificial, unnatural substances on your skin, your skin has to absorb and process those harsh chemicals, similarly to how your liver has to break down and process alcohol.
But now, you can find body butters, balms, creams, and deodorants made with ethically sourced tallow from grass-fed cows and other anti-bacterial, all-natural ingredients that deeply moisturize your skin without causing redness or irritation that your skin may love just as much as your body loves to drink water naturally.
Tallow is frequently used in moisturizing skincare products today because it resembles the skin’s natural barrier. So, during the month of January, while you’re taking a break from sipping a glass of wine, treat your dry skin to a decadent and deliciously scented body butter or a nourishing balm.
Tip #2: Try Dry Brushing Before Applying Products
Just as Dry January detoxes your body of alcohol byproducts, dry brushing your face and body detoxes your skin of dead skin cells. While your skin may look better throughout January just from the lack of alcohol alone, adding dry brushing face and body techniques to your skincare ritual may give you the radiantly beautiful skin you want.
