Christmas: it may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it doesn't half play havoc with our looks. Plate after plate of calorie-laden food (another roast potato anyone?), lashings of booze, plus the resulting poor sleep - and it's no surprise many of us end up looking like we're in need of some serious TLC.
The results of this indulgence are wearily familiar, from breakouts and a pale, dull complexion to dry and matted hair - not helped by the cold weather and central heating!
But now for the good news. Lots of women who have been experiencing similar beauty woes believe they've found the answer in StarPowa, a range of hugely popular vegan gummies.
They're packed with just the right blend of vitamins and nutrients to deliver the boost you need this New Year... and have the added benefit of being absolutely delicious!
Here, three busy women tell MailOnline how they tried this fuss-free solution - and were left astonished by the results.
'My breakouts cleared up and I look less tired - the thicker hair was an unexpected bonus!'
Aman, 27, a model and senior content manager
Aman says that after taking StarPowa, 'Make up artists now comment on how good my skin is - I feel great inside and out!'
'I have always struggled with oily skin and breakouts. I've tried various tablets in the past but have always found it hard to swallow them and have never been that impressed with the results.
'As a model I wear makeup a lot. While this was good at covering up any imperfections, I found more often than not it compounded my existing issues.
'So I started to look for a supplement that would improve the balance in my skin rather than yet more topical solutions.
'I came across StarPowa online and the reviews were unbelievable! I ordered Hair, Skin & Nails immediately and haven't looked back. I've been taking it for about 5 months now.
'More recently I've added Hormone Balance and Vegan Collagen Support to my subscription.
'I started noticing changes during my second bottle of Hair, Skin & Nails. My skin started to clear up and look less tired. By the end of the second bottle I was hardly getting any breakouts at all.
'The improvement to my hair was an unexpected bonus as well! It felt so much thicker and looked so much healthier. The only annoying thing is I have to get it cut more often!
'I'm in an industry that is quite judgmental so having more confidence going into jobs definitely helps with my self-esteem. Make up artists will now comment on how good my skin is, plus it definitely saves time in the chair. I feel great inside and out!
'I look forward to taking them! Sugar is a contributing factor to my breakouts, so the fact that StarPowa is low sugar and tastes great is a bonus.
'I've already recommended them to friends. I think Vegan Collagen Support Cloudy Lemonade gummies taste the best. If I bring them on a job the bottle usually gets raided!'
'I've taken vitamins before but nothing worked until I used StarPowa - now my skin is glowing more than ever!'
Gia says: 'Seeing a change like this, and at such speed, boosted my confidence - although it makes me annoyed at myself for not taking them sooner!'
'I had a few mini breakouts when I started travelling again, and wanted to quickly get rid of them because I hate having bad skin.
'I started taking StarPowa Hormone Balance gummies and was so impressed at how quickly I noticed results.
'My skin cleared up after about a week, and started glowing more than ever!
'Naturally it made me feel better in myself.
'Seeing a change like this, and at such speed, boosted my confidence. Although it makes me annoyed at myself for not taking them sooner!
'I've also been using Vegan Collagen Support and Hair, Skin & Nails.
'I had a few patches of damaged hair (due to dying it purple constantly!) but after taking the gummies you couldn’t tell this had been an issue as my hair looked so healthy.
'It now feels and looks silky, which is exactly what I had hoped to achieve.
'I have taken vitamins before but nothing seemed to help until I used StarPowa. I was shocked at how quickly I saw results.
'It was super easy as well. After you eat, you just take the recommended number of gummies - which it says on a label on the back of the box - and let the results begin!
'I'd rate them 10/10. Definitely recommended!'

StarPowa vegan, low-sugar gummies come in a range of delicious natural flavours and are completely hassle-free: simply take two as part of your normal daily routine.
They contain a special formula of vitamins, minerals, organic compounds and amino acids which - when combined with a healthy diet - are designed to give your beauty a boost.
Unlike other products on the market which contain collagen from bovine or marine sources, the gummies are free of absolutely any animal products.
But what is it about StarPowa gummies that make them stand out from the crowd? Here, we look below the bonnet to discover the carefully-picked ingredients that lie behind their success.
Let StarPowa help you feel back to your best
StarPowa Hair, Skin & Nails can help you feel ready for your close up. While other vitamin gummy brands focus on either helping your hair, skin or nails separately, this product has been curated to target all three.
Each gummy contains carefully selected ingredients including biotin, zinc, folic acid, vitamin c and aloe vera extract to promote thicker, longer hair, healthier-looking skin and stronger nails. And the best bit? You should start seeing results within 30 days.
Vegan Collagen Support is the perfect companion to Hair, Skin & Nails. They promote your body's natural collagen production - which studies show starts to decline from age 25.
They are also packed with vitamins, minerals, natural extracts, BCAAs and an essential amino acid blend which includes l-lysine, component of collagen production which helps with the skin's elasticity.
And it gets better! They also include high quality hyaluronic acid, which is best known for helping dry skin, wrinkles and joint health.
Suffer from breakouts or blemished skin? Try StarPowa Hormone Balance Gummies.
As hormones fluctuate they can affect our skin and immune health, which is why these gummies include vitamin D and C, as well as primrose and starflower oil, both of which have been linked to helping overall PMS symptoms.
'My skin is plumper and smoother... I can't imagine not having StarPowa as part of my routine!'
Josi, 38, an assistant manager from London
Josi says her skin is much less dry and her hair is growing faster since she started taking StarPowa
'My skin was so dry and I was looking for something to help, but I didn't know about StarPowa until a friend gave me a bottle of Hair, Skin & Nails to try.
'I went on to buy it again and also added Vegan Collagen Support to my order. Then I ended up subscribing to both!
'After 60 days of using Hair, Skin & Nails I started to notice a real difference to my skin and hair in particular.
'My friends made comments about my hair after noticing it had grown so fast.
'Meanwhile my skin felt more hydrated and my complexion looked better in general.
'Vegan Collagen Support also helps to make my skin plumper and smoother - which you need when you're in your late 30's!
'I take the gummies in the morning as part of my daily routine. They are soft and taste so good that sometimes I have an extra one in the evening!
'I'd definitely recommend StarPowa. I've told my friends and a couple have subscribed to various products already!
'I can't imagine not having them as part of my routine now.'
