The Best Skin Care Tip I've Heard

Do you wonder what you should do with that bit of leftover red wine sitting on your counter?  It's not good to drink but here's a new way to be good to your self:  slather it on your face!

The antioxidant polyphenols found in red wine help fight free radicals, stimulate blood circulation, promote elasticity, smooth wrinkles, detoxify, and hydrate, rejuvenate, and brighten your skin.

Here is an easy recipe for your face that not only will make you look good, but also save you a few dollars!

-Try whipping one cup plain yogurt (use plain Greek yogurt for a thicker mask), two tablespoons of honey, and four tablespoons of red wine together.  The honey and yogurt will help nourish, smooth, and soothe your skin.  

-You can also add an egg white (a great toner), aloe vera gel, cocoa powder, or green tea to this mixture.  Green tea in particular is a powerful antioxidant and when combined with red wine becomes an anti-aging force to be reckoned with.

  1. Hi Bettina,

    Did this work for you? Does the green tea have to be liquid, or do you use the leaves in the tea bag (cut it open)?
    I'm always up for new skincare!!

    thanks,
