Ingredients and items needed
(1)Red wine
Glass of Red Wine
Red wine contains high levels of antioxidant polyphenols,
which are beneficial in keeping skin healthy. Red wine’s benefits
- fight free
radicals
- stimulate
blood circulation
- rejuvenate
and firm skin
- Increase skin
elasticity
- ease the
nerves
- leave skin
bright and glowing
Why is been used it: The above stimulating properties mean
that red wine should soften wrinkles and fine lines and therefore should be
very useful in battling the effects of aging skin. In the cases of acne and
eczema, red wine is also considered to be good for detoxifying the skin and in
this way, helping the skin against these kind of disorders. The alternative of
red wine is white wine contains the same qualities as red wine, but in more
subtle quantities. If you’ve got really sensitive or really fair skin, I would
advise that you use white wine in this recipe. Note: Box wine is also suitable.
(2)LEMON JUICE / EXTRACT (FRESH!)
Or vinegar
Why we love using it: Just like vinegar, citrus fruits like
lemons are filled with naturally occurring AHAs.
Why is been used : For the awesome natural cleansing
properties of the AHAs.
What’s the alternative: If you’re unable to squeeze your own
lemon juice (which is what I recommend), you could buy a bottle of freshly
squeezed lemon juice from a grocery store. Make sure that you get 100% fresh
juice that is neither sweetened nor enhanced with anything. You could also
substitute this with the vinegar.
(3)Cucumber juice
Why we love using it:
Cucumber cleanses the skin with out irritating it,which makes it suitable for
people with sensitive skin and combination skin. Why is been used: With its
nourishing, hydrating, and astringent properties it works wonders for your skin.
Cucumber is helpful to brighten, whiten, and even tighten your skin. Cucumbers
contain the same pH level as your skin, a factor that aids in replenish your
skin’s protective and natural acid mantle. Note: cucumber should be used in
place of lemon juice for sensitive skin and lemon in place of cucumber for
people allergic to cucumber.
(4)Honey.
Why we love using it:
Honey cleanses, hydrates, nourishes the skin makes it suitable for all skin
types. Why is been used: it’s nourishing, moisturizing and the microbes it as
makes it beneficial for all skin types most especially oily-acne prone skin,
the microbes it contain fights against acne causing bacteria.
