Red wine is packed with antioxidants, which help prevent premature aging and provide natural sun protection. Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant, penetrates the skin’s protective barrier, keeping your complexion clear and acne-free. Flavonoids, with their anti-carcinogenic and antiviral properties, soothe sunburn, reduce dark spots, and balance the pH of your skin.
Korean actress Jun Ji Hyun swears by this ingredient for her glowing complexion. Try these simple wine face mask recipes to achieve even-toned and vibrant skin.
Red Wine, Lemon, and Honey
Mix red wine with a few drops of lemon juice and honey. Jun Ji Hyun then soaks a paper face mask in this mixture, applies it to her face, relaxes for 10 minutes, and rinses with warm water.
Red Wine, Honey, and Egg White
Honey and egg whites are a natural remedy for uneven skin tone. Combine 4 teaspoons of red wine, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 egg white. Apply the mixture to your face with a brush or cotton ball, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse.
Red Wine and Aloe Vera
Try this relaxing face mask recipe: mix 4 teaspoons of red wine with 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel, and add a few drops of lavender essential oil. Massage the mixture directly onto your face, paying extra attention to your chin, forehead, and under-eye area for at least 10 minutes before rinsing. Aloe vera is an excellent moisturizer, and when combined with massage, it improves blood circulation.
Exfoliate with Red Wine and Jojoba Oil
Exfoliation not only cleanses and removes dirt, stimulating new cell growth, but it also maintains skin health, keeping it pink, vibrant, and full of life. Red wine contains a small amount of AHA, making it suitable for exfoliation.
Prepare: 3 tablespoons red wine and 1 tablespoon jojoba oil.
Before exfoliating, cleanse your face and steam it to open your pores, facilitating the removal of dirt and toxins. Mix the ingredients and apply the mixture to your face and neck. Gently massage each area for about 15 minutes, then rinse with water.
