Gin with anti-aging properties fights off wrinkles while drinking

Cognitive health appears to be a key in contributing to healthy aging, a recent study by the Scripps Translational Science Institute reveals. However, over the weekend, a UK company claims to have manufactured the world’s first anti-aging drink.

Aptly named Anti-aGin, the gin has collages to help reverse at least one sign of aging – wrinkles. Warner Leisure Hotels, which commissioned the drink, explains that the gin’s ingredients were specifically picked for its revitalising qualities. It includes healing skin damaged by the sun, being full of minerals, inhibiting the formation of scars and helping smooth cellulites, reports Startsat60.

The drink is 40 percent spirit and combines chamomile and tea tree scents, witch-hazel, nettle, juniper, coriander and angelica root. With these ingredients, the makers claim on the DrinkSupermarket website – which retails Anti-aGin – that the drink “actually rejuvenates the skin while you drink.”

The Independent reports that the creator of the drink is Nicky Hambleton-Jones, an anti-aging expert who used to have a show on Channel 4 in the UK, “10 Years Younger.” He recommends this gin for people who want to remain young but are not willing to forego alcoholic drinks, pointing out that the drink is “the alcoholic equivalent of a facial.”

Collagen supplements, according to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in early 2016, when taken daily help the skin become more hydrated and smoother looking. But not study has been done yet on the effect of a mixing collagen with gin which previous research says can speed up skin’s aging.

A bottle of Anti-aGin costs £35 (AUD$70). To celebrate the launch of the product, Warner Leisure Hotels posted on its Facebook page that it is giving away a special anti-aging hamper made up of a collagen eye mask, avocado hand cream and a bottle of Anti-aGin.
