DIY Red Wine Facial Mask Recipes

Red Wine…An alcoholic beverage we’re encouraged to consume for the sake of our health and beauty. Red wine has long been championed for its anti-ageing properties, because, like the red grapes it’s made from, it is full of antioxidants and flavanoids. Red wine is also thought to promote a healthy heart and to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body, thanks to a natural compound called resveratrol it contains. Here are some easy DIY red wine face mask recipes in honor of National Drink Wine Day!
