How to Use Red Wine for Beauty and Skin Care
Red Wine Bath for Beauty and Skin Care
Adjust the water temperature to 2-3 degrees Celsius higher than body temperature, fill the bathtub with two-thirds water, and pour about five glasses of red wine. Note that the water temperature should not be set too high, as the vitamins, fruit acids, and other nutrients in the wine can easily deteriorate and lose efficacy at high temperatures.
Immerse your entire body in the bathtub. After soaking for a while, gently massage your whole body with both hands until your body feels slightly warm, giving you a feeling of being "slightly tipsy." Under the influence of alcohol, the nutritional substances in the wine enter the skin.
After the bath, thoroughly clean your body with clear water. The alcohol remaining on the skin can take away a large amount of moisture, so it's necessary to apply moisturizing lotion and strengthen hydration care promptly.
TIPS:
◎ Allergy Test: Since wine contains alcohol, even after treatment where some alcohol evaporates, there are still some people with sensitive skin who may be allergic to it. Therefore, before using it for the first time, conduct an allergy test. Apply a small amount of red wine on your elbow or neck; if there are no redness, swelling, or itching symptoms after 24 hours, then proceed with the wine bath or mask.
◎ The key step in DIY red wine bath is selecting the wine. The wine doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, but it must be genuine red wine rather than cheap wine made by mixing grape juice with alcohol. Otherwise, it can easily damage the skin and may cause unnecessary allergic reactions.
◎ Before taking a bath, wash your face first to avoid dirt clogging pores.
