Beauty and The Bordeaux

We all have heard that a glass of wine is good and beneficial. But did you know that it is also used for beauty? Thats right our dear red wine has secret benefits for our cosmetic health as well.

So lets start with our hair. We all want that gorgeous supermodel hair. Well shampoo and condition like you normally would but use a red wine as a final wash. Doing so will add a luster and to your hair and help thicken it. If you are losing hair, drinking red wine will help prevent this. It also increase circulation to the scalp and reduces dandruff and flakes.

How about the face? Well how about a wine facial? Red wine restores natural glow to the skin and removes blemishes. You have fine lines? Well there is anti aging properties to wine. Open your pores with a nice hot towel or steam bath and then just mix the wine with rosehips, grapes, and essential oils. Rub into the skin for about 5-10 minutes and wash with cold water to close them up again.

Red wine can also be used in scrubs. Add 2tbs of red wine to 2tbs of pip pulp or you can use epsom salt or sugar for a sugar scrub. If you use organic wine as part of your beauty regiment then you have the added benefits of it having antioxidants, and the tannins are excellent for the skin. And because red wine has anti-inflammatory properties, you can use it to treat acne outbreaks, oily skin, and as an antiseptic.

For your teeth, it helps strengthens gums and harden enamel, and prevents tooth decay. If your Diabetic, it can help control glucose levels, and help the pancreas create more natural insulin. And have you ever heard of Quercetin? Well its in red wine and can help to prevent lung cancer, lower breast cancer risks, and reduce cancer cell growth.

Are you someone who gets sick alot? Well researchers have shown that it has components that prevent colds, and that it can actually open your sinuses and help you breath (and probably sleep) better.

These are just some of the many benefits with drinking red wine. And not let us forget its heart benefits as well. So go grab yourself some bottles of red and start drinking to your health. HOWEVER, please do so responsibly and in moderation.
