IN VINO VERITAS

 

Everyone knows that one glass of dry red wine in time of dinner is very useful for our health. But do you know about how grape acts on your skin?  First who discover unique benefit of wine for skin was french couple Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas. They learned about the impact of grape seeds and created a concept named  «Vinotherapy».

In less than 10 years, vinotherapy has become a celebrated development in the spa industries of Europe, South Africa and South America. Now, wine spas are gaining momentum in the US and Canada.

Wine grapes contain natural antioxidants called polyphenols that exfoliate, detoxify, cool inflammation, and soften and repair damaged skin. Sixty percent of extractable grape polyphenols are in the grade seed. Thirty percent are in the grape skin and less than 10 percent are in the pulp. Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol found in the skin of the grape. Red and purple grapes have significantly more resveratrol than green grapes, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. This is because red and purple grapes are fermented longer with the grape skins.

 Grape seeds have strong anti-aging properties that fight damaging compounds in the skin called free radicals. Thanks to its antioxidant and estrogenic effect is stimulated collagen synthesis. It is one more reason why grape is widely-used in anti-age cosmetics.  In red wine contains a large amount of polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins (B1, B2, C, vitamin E, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels), tannins, a small amount of iron, organic acids, and minerals. A grape seed extract contains the "hormone of youth".

Vinotherapy is an elegant procedure in many SPA salons. Cosmetologists apply wine creams on the relevant parts of client’s bodies or simply rub a clean red wine into the skin. They choose the wine depends on client’s skin type:                                                                                    

·          sweet or semisweet red wine is better for oily skin 

·         semidry or dry wine is better for dry skin because it normalizes the water balance

·      all kind of wins have excellent cleansing properties, removing toxins from the skin and relieve it from dead cells
