For women keen on sporting a fresh and vibrant look, a sip of red wine is like a glow potion. There are often questions on the correlation between wine and skin rejuvenation, the usage/application tips, and the frequency. We take you through the miraculous benefits of a wine facial and few homemade tips to get great skin with wine.

Red Wine Benefits For Face

Red wine is an effective anti-aging drink. It reduces heart complications and strokes and reduces cell damage. It also has long-lasting effects on the skin and hair.

Wine is a suitable skin care treatment because it contains anthocyanin, phenols, polyphenols, and resveratrol to prevent damage from free radicals. That is why premium beauty salons worldwide offer wine-facial services for high-end customers.   

Besides anti-aging, other vital benefits of red wine for the face include skin brightening, even skin tone, acne-fighting antibacterial properties, and skin collagen restoration. Melatonin in red wine helps you sleep peacefully.
