Benjamin Franklin once said: “Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance.” Wasn’t he right? Red wine, specifically, is a beverage from the Antiquity.
Researchers today say that wine is also good for our skin. But how is this true? Carry on reading!
Acts against aging
Red wine is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids as well as tannic acid that are beneficial to the skin. Except for drinking a glass of wine for beauty, you may also apply some on your face. This may release free radicals, which are the main suspects when it comes to wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.
Eliminates scars
Thanks to the antioxidants, red wine is thought to be super powerful against scars, formed by sun, different kinds of injuring, medical operations and others. When applied on the skin, the red drink forms a protective layer and thus doesn’t allow the UV rays to get through it.
Treats acne
Red wine contains natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Its application directly to the face stops the overproduction of sebum. For that very reason you may be surprised to notice that the symptoms of acne are considerably reduced!
Promotes glowing skin
Scientists say that the polyphenols in this godlike beverage decrease the risk of oxidative stress. To help your skin look younger, mix some red wine with crushed oat flakes. Apply on your face and let it stay for 20-30 minutes. Your skin will be softer than ever!
Do you remember what the Mediterranean diet suggests? One glass red wine per day will do no harm. So, make yourself comfortable and use this wonderful liquid however you like!
