Beauty Find: A Skin Firming Regime For Wine-os

As a Spanish major, I lived abroad with a wonderful host family in Chile for seven months. My host mom had the most beautiful skin, and she said it was because she drank a glass of red wine every night. And when I fell in love with Chile’s full-bodied merlots and pinots, I was happy to have an excuse to be drinking at least one glass in the evening. So how could I not be curious about Caudalie’s Vinotherapie Firming Regimen, which promises to bring you the best of the "art of the vine"?

After using the full regimen— the Merlot Friction Scrub ($35), the Firming Concentrate ($35), and the Nourishing Body Lotion ($36) — for a few days, my skin was smoother, silkier, and possibly a little firmer. The nourishing ingredient in all three products is grapeseed oil, while other essential oils help tone and firm the skin.

However I won't be giving up my nightly glass of wine anytime soon…
