A woman who gave up alcohol for 30 days has unveiled the major changes being teetotal had on her face in before and after photographs.
In a short YouTube video, Paige shared a snap of her face on her first day of being sober and another on day 30 to highlight how being alcohol-free can change your face.
However, she wasn't overly pleased with her results.
"Expected a bigger face change," she admitted in the caption, adding that besides a hair cut and her 'hormonal acne switching sides' she'd struggled to see big differences.

However, her followers were quick to highlight the key changes they'd noticed between the two photographs.
"Wow. I see a big difference. Your skin is clearer and glowing," one person noted, while a second said she looked 'better' now she'd given up alcohol-free.
Someone else said: "Your skin is glowing and you look so much more awake now, I can see the difference."
Several YouTube users said Paige's eyes appeared 'brighter' and others simply applauded her sober stint, telling her they were 'proud' of her efforts.
The comparison clip was part of a wider series she shared on her YouTube channel, Yoga With Paige, where she has documented her experience with going sober and how it had prompted her unpack her relationship with alcohol.
In a video shared during her first week of being alcohol-free, Paige said she'd learned about her 'emotions and mental health', adding: "Most people say the first week is the hardest and I definitely agree.
"It took a lot of self discipline to not drink."
Giving up alcohol can have a hugely positive impact on your body even in the first 30 days.
Aside from the obvious advantages like saving money and being hangover-free, you may also see improvements to your sleep, leading to an increase in productivity and overall wellbeing.
According to Priory Group, your liver, stomach and skin will also hugely benefit from you being sober and you may even lose weight, as your overall calorie intake will have reduced drastically if you're usually a regular drinker.
Long-term benefits of quitting drinking include a reduction in blood pressure, improvement in digestive system, a better memory and less fatigue.
This can vary from person to person, depending on their alcohol intake and lifestyle.
Someone who usually drinks minimal amounts and gives up alcohol for a month may feel a sense of achievement or control of their health, while someone who is usually a heavy drinker may notice bigger changes, including psychological effects and increased mental clarity.
