We are all chasing our best skin, wanting to stop the aging process and just overall trying to find the fountain of youth. What if I told you it literally can be found in your next glass of CHAMPS!!! And now we can raise our glasses knowing we are also helping out our skin!

In fact leftover champs is the toner you never knew you could use. Just chill your leftover  bubbly and use a cotton ball to get some bubbly directly on your skin. This also can be used on your scalp. It will brighten your skin, and will make your hair ultra soft. Here’s why. 

“Champagne detoxifies the skin with antioxidants and lightening tartaric acid helps even out the skin tone,” Dermatologist Marina Peredo, MD, told New Beauty. “For those with oily skin, its antibacterial properties aid in leaving last year’s breakouts behind.” (Cuvée Beauty)

The black skin on grapes is known as Reskin for the amazing skin benefits. The resveratrol (a stilbenoid) found in the skin of champagne grapes are extremely good for the skin. And helps slow down the aging process. Why is that?  “Champagne contains antioxidants and cellular activators such as organic acids, minerals and vitamins, which are said to help to slow down the aging process and repair the skin. It is said to guarantee a longer-lasting firmness and a glowing complexion.” Daily Mail online

All these antioxidants are 20 to 50 times more powerful than those of vitamin C and vitamin E. These antioxidants help fight against oxidative stress. What is Oxidative Stress? “Oxidative stress, defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and antioxidant defenses, is discussed in relation to its possible role in the production of tissue damage in diabetes mellitus.” (PubMed) 

All these wonderful antioxidants do even more wonders, they help get rid of bad cholesterol, keep your blood vessels healthy and prevent blood clots. Personally coming from a family with bad heart conditions these reasons allow me to run to the nearest store to buy some Veuve. 

Of course everything is great in moderation, but all this information certainly makes me feel better the next time I go to a bottomless mimosa’s brunch. A champagne bath may be in my near future . 

LIVE YOU. LOVE YOU.
