I have always loved to sip a glass of red wine when relaxing with friends or enjoying a movie at home with hubby. But always had some guilt about the effects it would have on my body and skin in particular like dehydrating it etc.
So I decided to do some research and was thrilled to find out that Red wine in particular, if taken in proper amount, is a tonic for the skin. You might be wondering how??? Well Red wine has high concentration of antioxidants polyphenols and resveratrol which help in removing free radicals from skin which cause ageing. So friends it is one of the best anti ageing prevention products available if consumed in moderation that is 1 glass per day for women.
Still if you are skeptical in drinking wine you can still reap it’s benefits by using it externally. Try out these beauty treatments suggested by Stylebees at home to give your skin the anti-ageing benefits of red wine:
- Use red wine as a toner once a week. Dab a cotton swab with red wine and apply it on your face. Let it stay for 5 minutes and then wash off with cold water.
- Soak a spoon of oats in two spoons of red wine for 10 minutes and then mix it nicely to form a paste. Add little more wine if needed to form a paste. Apply it on your face and let it stay for 10 minutes until it dries. Then take little water in hand and apply on your face in circular motion scrubbing the face . Finally wash it off. This face mask exfoliates your skin and also helps your skin absorb the red wine anti-oxidants. You can use this weekly. You can also check our anti-ageing quick face pack
