Who would say no to a glass of rich and velvety wine? We all love wine. It’s delish, tasty and good for the heart. However, referring to wine as simply a drink would almost be a misnomer. Wine is not just good for a healthy heart, but also gaining popularity as a beauty product. Especially the red wine, that comes with immense benefits for the skin, is here to stay and how.

Left with some leftover wine? Why not include it in your beauty regime?

Wondering how a drink that contains alcohol be good for the skin? Well, the hero ingredient is ‘resveratrol’. Found in the skin of grapes, it helps in the formation of new cells and is beginning to emerge in many skincare products. As per research and studies, resveratrol, that is found in wine, helps prevent skin from sun damage, reduces spots, fine lines and wrinkles, combats acne and also repairs the skin from any environmental damage that may have taken place. Lauded for its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties, resveratrol plays an important role in helping repair skin damage and restore its youthful glow and radiant complexion. With multiple beauty benefits in wine, why not take a dip in it instead of drinking it?

If you’re thinking it is simple to apply wine directly onto the face, hold that thought. The alcohol found in red wine can dehydrate your skin. Hence, to get the maximum therapeutic effect of red wine, some added ingredients need to be thrown in to balance it. You can use wine in your regular beauty regimen in the form of DIY beauty masks.
