Does red wine make your skin radiant?

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy red wine and sometimes, that’s pretty much the same thing. While red wine is often an adult indulgence, it also brings a host of surprising skin benefits. But don’t worry, you don’t need to sip it to see the glow. From applying red wine directly to the skin to incorporating red wine-infused serums into your routine, this antioxidant-rich elixir is your secret weapon for a bright, fresh, and radiant complexion.

Red wine is made from grapes, which are filled with antioxidants and polyphenols. They help make your skin look radiant and young, keeping the free radicals at bay. One of the most powerful ingredients in red wine is called resveratrol, and it acts like a superhero that helps fight environmental stressors that make your skin tired, dull, and dark.

How do you apply red wine or red wine serum to your face?

Step 1: Start by cleansing your face with a mild or foam-based cleanser that will remove the extra dirt and oil so the red wine serum can work better.

Step 2: Do not apply any toner or other serum, and directly apply a small amount of red wine serum on your face. You can also apply a fine layer of red wine directly. You don’t need too much, but just a few drops are more than enough.

Step 3: If you’re applying red wine directly, let it dry, then wash it off. However, if you’re applying the serum, then coat it with a good moisturiser and keep your skin hydrated, locking in the benefits of the serum.

Step 4: Apply the serum religiously for better results, as over time you’ll see your skin become brighter and more even in colour.
