After a stressful day, unwinding with a glass of wine is a great idea. But did you know that moderate wine consumption has health and beauty benefits?
Why Red Wine Is Good for Skin?
Resveratrol and tannins, present in grape skin, stems, and seeds, are the active ingredients. Several anti-ageing antioxidants are found in abundance in this fruit. Resveratrol applied topically increases antioxidant activity in the skin’s epidermis and dermis. All these ingredients are naturally good for our skin.
What Are the Benefits of Red Wine on Our Skin?
Make Skin Glowing and Radiant
Red wine is regarded as one of the greatest skincare treatment recipes for achieving bright and beautiful skin. It aids in restoring the natural radiance of one’s skin, which might be diminished by environmental factors like stress and pollution. Because of its ability to lower both stress and free radical production, red wine has gained popularity as a means of achieving a more even skin tone.
Prevents Premature Ageing
Antioxidants including flavonoids, resveratrol, and tannins found in red wine can reduce the visible effects of ageing by repairing damaged collagen. Wrinkles, and fine lines, are less noticeable in red wine drinkers compared to those who prefer other alcoholic drinks.
Reduce Acne
Red wine’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics make it an effective treatment for acne. When used topically, it helps eliminate acne and unclog pores. In addition, its high antioxidant content and ability to replenish the skin’s oxygen supply contribute to its young, radiant appearance.
How to Use Red Wine for Skin?
Drinking reasonable amounts of red wine daily has been shown to improve health and clear up skin. It can also be used for external purposes.
As a Cleanser
To part of the red wine, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Use this mix as a cleaner by dipping a cotton ball into it.
As an Exfoliator
Mix the wine with a natural exfoliator – it may be rice flour or coffee. Mix a few tablespoons of red wine and make a rough paste. Apply this paste to remove dirt and dead skin cells.
As a Face Pack
Apply on your face after mixing with honey, aloe vera, or sandalwood powder, and leave on until dry. Try washing it off and get a surprising result.
