Your Skin On Red Wine
By Dr. Al Sears, M.D.

 
Researchers recently discovered a surprising new benefit of red wine...Wine.jpg

It contains a powerful ingredient that can help you change the appearance of aging of your skin.

You may have heard of it. We've known for years it supports your heart and may help you live longer.
Now, ongoing research shows resveratrol helps you maintain younger-looking skin.

Resveratrol is a powerful ingredient found in red wine that can actually help your skin to appear younger and fresher.

Resveratrol is in the skin of grapes and dark berries like blueberries and cranberries. It protects these fruits from threats such as cold weather and ultraviolet light. And when you eat foods with resveratrol, it transfers that protection to you.

This compound is an anti-aging antioxidant that can give you more youthful skin. This is great news when it comes to fighting wrinkles. The next time you drink a glass of red wine with your meal to protect your heart, it'll also give you a nice dose of resveratrol to protect your skin at the same time.

By enjoying a few glasses of red wine after a long day, you're not only relaxing and unwinding, but you're also getting an antioxidant that triggers an anti-aging gene in your skin to slow down your aging clock. To get the maximum amount choose wines from Burgundy, New York and Argentina's Cafayate Valley. Most red wines from California and Australia will have lower amounts.

Resveratrol activates genes called sirtuins, which send signals to all of the cells in your body to stop aging right away. This chain of events fires up your anti-aging genes to keep your skin young and healthy. And it also gives your skin the precious time that it needs to repair cellular damage that leaves you at risk for premature wrinkles in the first place.

After drinking red wine to get more resveratrol, you'll be met with some pretty interesting results. Since resveratrol sends signals at the cellular level, it will stop your skin's aging process internally. Then your skin can finally start doing what it does best - naturally renewing and repairing internal damage for a stronger, healthier complexion that looks noticeably younger than your age.

The best part is that this antioxidant is 100% natural and can provide skin regeneration benefits while you enjoy what some may consider a "guilty pleasure:" a glass or two of red wine to unwind at the end of a long day.

If you're not a fan of red wine, resveratrol is also in:

  • raisins
  • blueberries
  • plums
  • cranberries
  • purple grape juice
  • peanuts
  • mulberries
  • eucalyptus trees

But you'd have to eat a lot of these foods to get enough to make a difference you can feel. So a supplement is your best bet. Japanese knotwood tea is the source of resveratrol in supplements.

I recommend 10 mg per day, which can be taken anytime throughout the day with or without a meal. If you're looking for advanced anti-aging protection, then I would recommend taking as much as 100 mg per day of resveratrol as a supplement. This is ideal if you're not a fan of the berries above and also want a little more resveratrol protection than what can be found in a few glasses of wine.

But if you take it as a supplement, you're missing out on everything else it offers your skin.

Rub resveratrol directly on your face, and it quickly goes to work to reduce the appearance of aging from your body and face.

Dermatologists at the University of Wisconsin found resveratrol protects your skin from UV damage.  Another study shows topical resveratrol improves skin tone, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and more.2
But you can't just add resveratrol to a cream and then expect your skin to start looking younger.

The problem is resveratrol has limited stability and water solubility. So converting it to a "usable" topical form that can actually help over-stressed skin can be a bit tricky.

The problem is that most products don't penetrate deep enough to make a difference.

To maintain young-looking skin, the nutrients you rub on your face need to reach something called the "DEJ," or dermal-epidermal junction.

The DEJ is a ridged area that connects your inner layer of skin (dermis) and your outer layer of skin (epidermis).

As your skin ages, the DEJ starts to flatten out. When that happens, the outer layer can't get enough nutrients or blood flow to  the inner layer.

That means your skin can't repair itself properly and it becomes more fragile and prone to wrinkle formation.

Regular anti-aging creams don't effectively help with the appearance of wrinkles and other visible signs of aging because their ingredients aren't potent or stable enough to reach the DEJ.

Nature's Secret to Younger Skin
What's more relaxing than sipping a glass of red wine after a long day? And new research recently uncovered even more benefits to this heart-healthy drink - beyond just preventing heart disease.

What makes red wine so special is an antioxidant called resveratrol: the key to young, healthy skin regardless of a woman's age.

You can receive powerful anti-aging benefits from enjoying red wine in moderation, but resveratrol becomes even more potent when used topically. Topical resveratrol firms and protects the skin to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles for a fresher complexion that people notice.

Find out more information on age-defying resveratrol.
A new and usable form of topical resveratrol changes all of that. It's called "metrabiotics resveratrol."
Studies show the metrabiotics resveratrol:
  • Improves skin tone by promoting the production of collagen
  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles by improving the skin's structural integrity
  • Lifts the skin and smoothes the appearance of expression lines
  • Increases hydration and improves overall appearance of the skin

Check out the graph below. It shows how people using the metrabiotics resveratrol felt the difference over a placebo.

Look at these results:
  • Improved the look of wrinkles: Up by 61%
  • Improvement in definition of lips: Up by 70%
  • Better skin complexion: Up by 61%
  • Improved the look of lines around the lips: Up by 55%
  • Improved wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes: Up by 51%
There's no doubt... the people using this new kind of topical resveratrol looked and felt younger.
It contains the ingredient you need to help your skin function and repair itself as it should.

Your skin is one of the first things people notice about you. With this amazing anti-aging and moisturizing breakthrough, you can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

It works with your body to promote younger-looking skin rather than just cover it up.
