Do you love wine? Are you looking young and charming? No need to wonder thinking about the relation between beauty and wine. It is already proved. According to Richard A. Baxter, MD, a plastic surgeon in Seattle, wine can do miracles on the skin of both men and women. The main contribution is its anti aging effect with the action of antioxidants. 

The health benefits of drinking wine, especially red wine have been revealed over decades. According to  latest skin care studies, the  strong antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents and natural alpha hydroxy acids present in wine are strong enough to offer you a more beautiful and healthy skin.

Ways In Which Wine Benefits Your Skin

1.Anti-aging:

Wine contains higher amount of antioxidants called polyphenols, including resveratrol.This is because we use the skin and seeds as part of the fermenting process in wine. These antioxidants are powerful to act against free radicals providing an anti-aging effect.

2.Prevent acne:

Acne-prone skin will respond positively to red wine since the high concentration of the polyphenol resveratrol may act to reduce inflammation. This will also reverse or prevent free radical damage keeping the skin less prone to acne.

3.Treat dry skin:

If you have dry skin, remember to select dry wine with high concentration of Alpha Hydroxy Acids like citric, tartaric, and malic acid. This is extremely helpful in restoring the natural moisture of your skin, keeping it soft and supple.

4.Tone your skin:

Dry red wine can be used directly on your skin as a toner.This will tone your skin to get a more even and smooth appearance. Acne prone skin can get more benefits by using dry red wine as a toner.

5.Exfoliate dead cells:

Mix 1 cup white wine or white wine vinegar with 1 cup of bran.Keep this for almost 4 hours.This will act as an excellent exfoliant when used as a body scrub.You can use this as a mask also once in a week. 

6.Protect skin from UV damage:

 According to a recent study conducted by AgResearch in New Zealand, white wine has significant benefits in protecting our skin from UV damage. The effect is mainly by the considerable reduction in the level of oxidation of the skin proteins.

Anything is harmful to our body if consumed in more than recommended amounts. Enjoy your favorite drink, but only in moderation. Your skin will also love it for its beauty benefits.
