Basics to Red Wine: red wine contains high levels of antioxidant polyphenols, which are beneficial in keeping your skin healthy. Generally red wine when used in skin care products fights free radicals, stimulates blood circulation, rejuvenates, increases skin elasticity, eases the nerves, firms, whitens, and leaves your skin bright and glowing. These stimulating properties make that red wine softens wrinkles and fine lines and is altogether very useful in battling the effects of aging skin. Also in cases of acne and eczema red wine is also considered to be good for detoxifying the skin and in this way helping your skin against these kind of skin disorders
Simple Red Wine Facial for tightening skin and moisturizing:
- 1 Egg white
- 3 tablespoons Red wine
- 1 tablespoons organic Honey
steps:
- Gently mix the egg white, red wine and honey until you have a smooth substance
- Spread the paste gently and equally with your fingertips on your clean face and neck; keep the eye area clear
- Now lie down, relax and leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes
- Then wash it off with lukewarm water and end with a splash of cold; pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Finally apply a moisturizer, this way you “seal” your skin to keep the water inside
*if the mix is too sticky put a little more red wine. haha just an excuse to be a bit more classy.
