My Wine Beauty Secret

Glad I got your attention! This winter, I made a concerted effort to use more natural skincare products. Sure, this might sound lame, but in my quest to make healthier decisions, I started to think more about not only the food I was putting into my body, but the stuff I was slathering all over the outside of my body as well. 

Behold, grapeseed oil! In my hunt for such a product, I came across a bottle of this at Target. Clearly my eyes were drawn to the word grape, and I was even more intrigued as I read the back of the bottle...a by-product of wine-making, works for combination and oily skin. Victorious in my search, I threw the bottle in my cart and never looked back. Since then, I've been using this daily on my whole bod after I get out of the shower. I even put it on my face! (Since grapeseed oil is non-comedogenic, it won't cause breakouts.) It sinks in fast and leaves me looking moisturized but not shiny. Plus I feel good knowing that this product is both wine-related AND doesn't contain any weird ingredients I can't pronounce. 

Obviously, I'm a professional wine drinker and not a dermatologist, so you may want to proceed with caution if you have sensitive skin. And while I haven't made the switch to deodorant crystals or essential oils just yet, if you're looking to simplify your morning beauty routine, you may want to give grapeseed oil a try!

I recently came across a large bottle of grapeseed oil at Aldi for a quarter of the price, so don't be shy about shopping for this stuff at your grocery store. (Yes, you can cook with this stuff too!)

Do you think you'll try it out? Let us know if you do!
