ANTI-AGEING GIN

A COCKTAIL that helps revitalize the skin? This one may sound too good to be true but food and drinks innovation company Bompas & Parr says it has created a new gin that contains “age-defying botanicals”, including drinkable pure collagen. Created for Warner Leisure Hotels, the gin is said to be the “first of its kind” that allows gin fans to rejuvenate their skin while drinking. Containing seven “major botanicals” and six “minor botanicals”, the gin is described as “the alcoholic equivalent of a facial”. The “age-defying botanicals” in the gin include: collagen; an anti-wrinkle substance; nettle, which has mineral content for cell rejuvenation; Gotu Kola, which inhibits scar formation and combats cellulite; chamomile, a healing and relaxing agent; witch hazel oil, which kills bacteria within the skin’s pores; burdock, high in anti-oxidants to repair cracked skin; and green tea, which clears the body of impurities. Anti-AGin is currently only available overseas . . . for now.
