Perfecting your skincare routine at home is one thing, but making sure that your skin looks in tip-top shape during travel is a whole different ball game. As quarantine restrictions loosen up, we’ll be taking more vacations in the upcoming months. But how do you keep your skin looking healthy when exploring different places?

There’s a lot of adjustment that goes into your skincare for traveling. Your routine will be different whether you opt for a hot, summery trip in the tropics or go for a ski resort in the snowy mountains up north. The important thing is to know how to tweak your routine depending on where you go.

You also have to ensure that you take all the extra measures to keep your skin looking healthy and glowy even with the additional stress and jet lag that comes with travel. Ready to satisfy your wanderlust? Here are some of Vine Vera’s top tips for skin care for traveling.

What Happens to Our Skin When We Travel?

Even just flying, the first step of most travel adventures, can cause harm to our skin. That’s because when you’re high up in the sky, the plane will have little to no humidity, so the air is very dry.

For long-haul flights, this means your skin can get dehydrated because of the re-circulated air. Your skin can feel tight and sensitive while you’re flying. It can get so bad that you might even end up having to deal with dry patches on your skin once you land.

This can also cause an uptick in breakouts. When the air is super dry, oily skin tends to overcompensate by producing even more oil, which can clog the pores and result in acne.

Another thing is the stress and anxiety that come with travel. There’s a lot on your mind when you travel, from getting in line at your boarding gate on time to making sure you have everything you need at every step of your trip. This can increase cortisol — aka the stress hormone — which causes breakouts.

One more reason for breakouts during air travel is you’re tempted to lean your head on things that might not be as clean as you think. You might rest your head or cheek against the armrest of your seat or even on the plane window. This can cause friction or the transfer of bacteria, resulting in pimples.

You should also watch out for what kinds of food you try out on your travels. If you’re not used to spicy food or cuisines with lots of allergens, like fish and peanuts, try the foods out a little at a time. Your skin can experience culture shock too.

Here are some tips on skin care for traveling that you might find useful as you explore new places:

Always Wear SPF, No Matter Where You’re Going

SPF is important in every step of your travel, from stepping onto the plane to when you’re finally relaxing and exploring your destination. Sunscreen is a must when it comes to skin care for traveling, and here’s why.

When you’re on the plane, you’re a lot closer to the sun than you would be if you were traveling by land. This means the sun’s harmful UV rays won’t have to travel that far to get to you since you’re at such a high altitude. Plus, most plane windows aren’t UV-proof, so sun damage is highly likely.

And when you finally make it to your destination, you’ll still need SPF too. You’ll likely be outdoors a lot to see tourist sites or just to explore the streets. This heightens your chances of getting sunburn, which can lead to redness, swelling, and itching. Sunscreen lowers this risk.

Another benefit of using SPF when you travel is that it shields your complexion from UV damage that causes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the long run. So, the more diligent you are with your SPF, the more you’ll be delaying the visibility of skin aging.

To make sure your skin is properly moisturized and protected against the harmful rays of the sun, use the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream, which provides an SPF of 30.

The formula also contains aloe vera, camellia extracts, and vitamin E to leave skin feeling hydrated. Meanwhile, green tea extract and resveratrol soothe the feeling of the sensitivities that can arise from the stress of travel.

Incorporate Antioxidants in Your Routine

If you’re exploring big cities, you could be exposed to a lot of smog and pollution in the air. In the gray smoke of pollution, there are free radicals — little unstable molecules that can break down the healthy collagen and elastin in your skin. This can result in the early appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

Free radicals have missing electrons and try to find a “host” to latch onto so that they can become stable again. They do this by attaching themselves to your skin, which then causes something called “oxidative stress” — a culprit of skin cell destruction.

To keep free radicals from causing harm to your skin, incorporate antioxidants in your routine. Among the best antioxidants is vitamin C.

On your next trip, make sure you pack the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum. It’ll give your skin tone a brighter and more even finish. Perfect for all your Instagram travel photos!

Keep Your Lips Moisturized to Avoid Chapping

Moving around and traveling will expose you to ever-changing weather. Aside from the skin on your face and body, your lips might have some trouble adjusting too. So, don’t forget your lips when you’re planning your skin care for traveling.

The dry air on a plane and the extreme climate in some destinations can render your once soft and supple lips feeling chapped instead. This is because cold and dry air evaporates every ounce of moisture, even from your lips. Not only is this annoying to deal with, but it can ruin how you look in travel selfies.

Avoid chapped, rough-feeling lips by including the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Lip Balm when you’re packing your skin care for traveling. It’s bursting with vitamins that leave the lips feeling soft and strengthened.

It contains ingredients like shea butter and avocado oil, which will leave your lips looking hydrated, plump, and silky smooth all day.

Make Sure Your Hands Continue Feeling Smooth and Soft

Just because travel restrictions are letting up nowadays, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be extra careful about getting sick. We still have to sanitize our hands with alcohol whenever we touch stuff in public, such as trains, elevator buttons, and doors — especially when traveling in an unfamiliar city.

However, this can leave your hands feeling dry. That’s why you should always have a high-quality hand cream as part of your regimen for skin care for traveling.

One that we highly recommend is the Vine Vera Travel Hand Cream. It’s a deluxe size, so it’s easy to toss in your purse while you explore the sights on your bucket list.

The formula contains glycerin, a humectant with moisture-binding properties. It also has other moisture-binding ingredients to help your hands retain all that hydrating goodness for longer. One use of this cream and your hands will immediately feel velvety soft and smooth again.

Don’t Wear Unnecessary Makeup on Your Flights

It’s always tempting to look extra cute while traveling. Who knows what kind of travel photo ops you’ll find along the way, right? But one basic rule of skin care for traveling is that you shouldn’t cake on so much makeup during your flight. It’s better if you do without it instead.

Wearing a matte foundation will completely dry your face in flight. The same goes for lipstick, which can dry out your lips. Instead of packing on the makeup, go bare and use a moisturizer and lip balm instead. It will be much more comfortable for you and your skin too.

Another tip for skin care for traveling is to keep a travel-sizes moisturizer in your carry-on at all times. That way, you can reapply your moisturizer whenever your skin is feeling a little thirsty and needs to be quenched.

Pack Skincare Products That are Apt for the Climate

One other thing that will strongly affect how your skin is going to react when you travel is the destination you’re looking to go to. Your skin will have different needs if you end up going to the Maldives vs the Swiss Alps. So, you’ll have to adjust your skincare routine to fit the climate of wherever you’re going.

The rules are quite simple. Hot and humid places need lightweight skincare, while areas with colder weather will require you to build an extra rich routine.

First, let’s talk about hot weather. When you’re in a scorching, summery setting under the sun, your body will produce more sweat to try and cool itself down. But sweat mixed with dirt, dead skin cells, sebum, and makeup can end up clogging your pores, resulting in breakouts.

So, when you’re going on an island vacation, it’s better to build a skincare routine with lightweight, water-based products. Focus on aloe-infused gels or mists you can spray on your face whenever it’s getting extra hot.

Now, if you’re going somewhere colder, like European countries in the dead of winter, you need to adjust in another way. Cold and dry air will cause your skin to look flaky and dehydrated, so you need intense moisture.

Be sure to pack up some hydration masks, thick night creams, and rich body butter for the trip. Look for ingredients like ceramides, proteins, and oils to keep your skin feeling as soft possible even in the cold climate. The Vine Vera Resveratrol Merlot Travel Kit is perfect for this!

Get Enough Beauty Sleep Throughout Your Trip

Getting the right amount of sleep every night is of huge importance for your skin. Cell repair and collagen regeneration are at their peak when you’re in deep sleep, so if you only get a couple of hours per night, your skin might suffer later on.

But sleep is tricky when you’re traveling. You could get jetlagged if you’re traveling somewhere really far from your time zone. Or you could also get caught up with going to so many tourist attractions that you lose track of time and return home late every day of your trip.

However, if you don’t get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night when you travel, you’ll likely develop puffiness and dark eye bags. Big yikes when you’re trying to look cute in travel pictures!

So, make sure that you prioritize sleep when you’re traveling, no matter how hard this may be! As a backup, pack yourself a few eye care products too, such as our Resveratrol Eye Collection Age-Defying Eye Serum.

Conclusion

There’s plenty to think about when getting ready to travel — your passport, tickets, hotel accommodations, budgeting. But you can’t neglect the look and feel of your skin, which will likely be very sensitive to new environments.

So, make sure you follow our skin care for traveling tips listed above. Moisturization of dry skin is key in cold places, while lightweight skincare works best in the tropics. And wherever you go, sunscreen and antioxidants will be your best friends. Keep all these in mind, and you’ll be golden.

As we approach the end of the year, we inch ever closer to the long-awaited holidays. Depending on where you are in the world, this could mean anything from colder weather to presents piling up under a tree. But one thing is certain: there is bound to be a spike in gatherings and celebrations.

Everybody loves a good holiday party. However, that often involves getting dressed up for the occasion and wearing makeup. This is where the importance of holiday party skincare comes in. 

Here at Vine Vera, we are on a mission to ensure that your skin looks in tip-top shape throughout the holidays and beyond. While this may require a little extra care, there’s no need to fret; all you need is a little mindfulness and these six must-know holiday party skincare tips!

Before the Party

If you intend to take any lessons away from this article, let the main one be this: the key to holiday party skincare is ample preparation. Since parties often call for makeup and several hours of socializing, it’s important to ensure that your skin is just as ready for the occasion as you are. Here are some preparatory holiday party skincare tips to get you started:

Boost Hydration

With or without an upcoming party, ample skin hydration is a must. However, it becomes even greater a necessity in the colder months, when the skin is more prone to flaking and cracking. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, when the temperature falls, so does the moisture in the air. This makes living in places with cold and dry climates particularly difficult, especially for those with sensitive skin.

One way to combat the usual ills of the colder season is to incorporate hydrating serums into your regimen. As with most skincare products, serums take time to spark lasting change in your skin, so you’ll want to start reaching for these as early as possible. 

Best Pre-Party Hydrating Serums

Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum is a crowd favorite with good reason. This serum contains Wheat Germ Oil, a natural ingredient packed with remarkable amounts of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. 

Another reason behind the high demand for this serum is its potent Vitamin C content. Vitamin C is one of the few skincare ingredients that never steps out of the spotlight because of its multiple benefits.

The Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum is another serum that can help improve the skin’s hydration levels. One of the key ingredients in this product is Sodium Hyaluronate, which has similar benefits to the now-viral Hyaluronic Acid. It also contains Lactic Acid, which is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that can simultaneously exfoliate and moisturize the skin. Like the Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum, this product also contains Vitamin C for a brighter appearance.

Mask Up

Make the most of your holiday party skincare by taking the time to mask the night before. Not only does this help get the skin to its best state — it can prove to be an extremely relaxing practice, too.

The first step to pre-party masking is ensuring that your skin is prepared to receive the mask of choice. The best way to do this is using a mild exfoliator, like the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Dissolving Pre-Mask. This pre-mask features Retinol’s sibling ingredient, Retinyl Palmitate, in its formula. The product also contains a long list of extracts to keep the skin in balance:

• Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract
• Camellia Oleifera (Green Tea) Leaf Extract
• Ruscus Aculeatus (Butcher’S Broom) Root Extract
• Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract
• Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract

After preparing the skin with a pre-mask, the next step is narrowing down which mask you like most. Given the popularity of masking in the beauty world, there is now a wide variety of formulas available, from individually packed sheets to wash-off and leave-on iterations. When it comes to locking in moisture before a big event, we recommend opting for rich, leave-on formulations.

Consider the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto-Silk Mask. Developed to work in tandem with the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Dissolving Pre-Mask, this product uses healing Aloe Leaf Extract to leave a cooling sensation on freshly exfoliated skin. Perfect for the night before your holiday party, this mask features a blend of extracts, Collagen, and Glycerin that leave the skin feeling deeply moisturized.

Prep Early

Ask any beauty guru or makeup artist for advice, and chances are you’ll hear these wise words: skin preparation is crucial for achieving a great beauty look. Whether you intend to sport a full face of makeup or keep your look simple, taking the time to pamper your skin beforehand will surely pay off.

A few hours before your function, you’ll want to set aside time for these three-holiday party skincare steps:

• Cleansing 
• Toning
• Treating the skin with a sheet mask

Here’s why:

Cleansing may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s surprising how many jump straight into layering their makeup on without ticking this step off the list. A good cleanser will pick up any dirt and bacteria and leave your skin feeling clean but never tight. Toning, on the other hand, finishes the job by removing any remaining debris left behind after cleansing. Depending on the product’s formulation, toners can also rebalance the feel of the skin.

Hit two birds with one stone with Vine Vera’s Cabernet 2-Step Prep. Sold as a set, this nifty cleansing kit includes the Resveratrol Milk Cleanser to wash off any sweat, grime, and dirt, and the Resveratrol Balance Toner to reset the feel of your skin thereafter.

Before hitting the ground running with your primer, foundation, or base makeup, seal the skincare deal with a sheet mask. While clay masks are great for breakouts and leave-on masks are ideal for an overnight treatment, sheet masks are perfect for giving the skin an instantly plumper look.

The Best Pre-Party Sheet Mask

With Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen, the Cabernet Rejuvenation Facial & Eye Mask from Vine Vera will do just the trick. These masks are made out of cellulose, which soaks up all the goodness from the serum and sends it right into the skin. Even better, it comes with separate face and eye masks! If you’re looking to give yourself a little extra pampering, why not throw the Resveratrol Sauvignon Blanc Neck & Chest Mask into the mix as well?

After letting your skin absorb the mask’s serums for 15 minutes, you should then give your skin a quick rinse or gently pat the remaining formula into the skin.

After the Party

Is the party over already? As tempting as it might be to surrender and fall into the relaxing embrace of your bed, you can’t succumb to sleep without giving your skin the aftercare it deserves! Keep these holiday part skincare tips in mind for when the celebrations wrap up:

First Thing’s First: Cleanse!

After hours of keeping up appearances and being on its best behavior, your skin deserves a thorough cleanse at the end of the day. Erase all evidence of makeup, sweat, and the outside world with a cleanser like Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet Mousse Cleanser.

Formulated with coconut oil-derived Cocamidopropyl Betaine, this cleanser strikes the perfect balance between effective cleansing and mild formula. Thanks to its rich, mousse-type formulation, this product leaves the skin feeling moisturized and supple, making it perfect for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin.

Bring Back the Moisture

After removing all remaining traces of your holiday festivities, the next step is to moisturize generously. This will help to soothe the feel of your skin. Here at Vine Vera, we have several moisturizing creams that can easily fall into your holiday party skincare routine:

A Post-Party Moisturizing Cream

If you’re looking for a moisturizer that can heavily moisturize while preventing visible signs of aging from showing through, consider the Resveratrol Shiraz Instant Facelift. As its name suggests, this product features ingredients that give the skin a lifted and more youthful appearance. 

This product also includes Resveratrol, Vine Vera’s signature ingredient. Derived from red grapes, Resveratrol is an antioxidant. Present across all of our product lines, Resveratrol is a multi-tasker that everyone should be using.

A Post-Party Moisturizing Serum

Another strong contender to complete your post-party routine: the Resveratrol Chianti Morning Recovery. This silky, lightweight serum addresses the appearance of aging, dryness, and uneven skin texture with a blend of Resveratrol and Vitamin C. Its formula also includes Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1. 

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is even more effective when paired with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. This ingredient also happens to be present in the Resveratrol Chianti Morning Recovery formula. Together, these ingredients form something called Matrixyl 3000. A skincare power couple, a Matrixyl 3000 in-vivo study reported a big improvement in the appearance of wrinkles.

Don’t Forget Your Eyes!

While you’re moisturizing away, don’t forget to show the eye area some love. Being thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, the skin around the eyes is especially sensitive. This means that it requires a little extra TLC. Give your eye area just that with Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet 60-Second Eye Solution.

They say the best things take time. While there may be truth in that statement, we declare the Resveratrol Cabernet 60-Second Eye Solution an exception. A magic wand for the eyes, this quick-absorbing eye serum uses Resveratrol and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 to tighten and smoothen the look of the under-eyes. With a cooling metal applicator, the product is easy to dispense and spread across the small space below the eyes. The best part? All it takes is 60 seconds!

As we put our best outfits, best makeup, and best selves forward this holiday season, let’s not forget to give our skin the same importance. Perfect your holiday party skincare regimen with Vine Vera!

Beauty often takes inspiration from nature and the world around us, which is why natural ingredients are plentiful in cosmetic products. From citrus fruits to green tea, the cosmetic industry has long since been harnessing the benefits provided by plants, fruits, vegetables, and other elements from the natural world.

However, there is one ingredient that Vine Vera believes deserves more attention in the realm of beauty: wine. Ahead, we discuss its benefits and take a look at some of the best skincare from wine.

Why Wine?

It may seem like an uncanny choice to add wine, an alcoholic beverage, to your skincare routine. However, when you consider the origins of the beverage, the science behind it begins to make more sense. 

Wine is produced from grapes, which, like most fruits, possess several skin-loving benefits. The skin of these grapes is where Resveratrol, the secret behind the best skincare from wine, can be found.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol, which is a group of antioxidants that can:

• Minimize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
• Contribute to the feeling of skin hydration.
• Calm the feel of the skin and reduce the look of redness.

While drinking countless glasses of wine regularly is certainly a way to get your fill of Resveratrol, applying specially formulated skincare is a more practical idea. Not to mention, it’s hangover-free! Furthermore, Resveratrol performs more efficiently when paired with certain other ingredients — just like those in Vine Vera’s wine-inspired skincare products.

Here at Vine Vera, we are dedicated to producing scientifically formulated skin solutions. While wine and Resveratrol are front and center across all of our products, we ensure maximum effectiveness by innovatively adding other proven ingredients, like Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, and Fruit Oil Extracts, into the mix.

Below, we identify some of the best skincare from wine available online at Vine Vera.

Resveratrol Moscato Sensitive Skin Cleanser

There are several theories behind the origins of the Muscat grapes used to make Moscato wine. Some trace their origins back to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, while others believe that they only date back to 800 BC. Despite multiple theories, one thing is certain: Muscat grapes are among the oldest domesticated grapes in the world. Today, there are over 200 varieties of Muscat grapes. 

These grapes are the inspiration behind Vine Vera’s Moscato collection. With two products in the line, the Moscato collection is specifically formulated to work well with sensitive skin.

Among the two products in Vine Vera’s Moscato collection is the Resveratrol Moscato Sensitive Skin Cleanser. Powered by grape-extracted Resveratrol, this cleanser gently lifts dirt and bacteria off the skin. The formula comes in a lightweight, gel-like texture, making it a perfect match for oily and acne-prone skin.

How to Use

Use this cleanser daily for the best results. Simply apply a small amount of product to damp skin and massage in circular motions. After a lather has been formed, rinse the product off thoroughly with cool water. Then, follow up with the rest of your skincare routine. 

Resveratrol Merlot Cleansing Kit

Even if you aren’t all that familiar with wine, chances are you’ve heard of Merlot. A versatile dark blue grape, Merlot is one of the most popular red wine varietals across the globe. Case in point: in 2015, Merlot grapes were planted across 266,000 hectares globally.

Viticulturists trace the parentage of grapes through research and analysis. Merlot’s parentage was studied and revealed throughout the late 1990s to the late 2000s. Its parent grapes are Cabernet Franc and a rare variety called Magdeleine Noire de Charentes. Merlot takes the best traits from its parent varieties.

Some of these traits translate to Vine Vera’s very own collection of Merlot-inspired skincare. While the Merlot Collection is relatively straightforward, the four products within the line work together the feel of the skin’s texture.

The Resveratrol Merlot Cleansing Kit packages two cleansing products together: the Resveratrol Milk Cleanser and Resveratrol Balance Toner. The former picks up the majority of dirt and debris from the skin, while the latter finishes the job. This really is the perfect pair!

If you haven’t felt the need to use a toner before, trust us and give this one a try. You’ll soon notice the difference in your skin and won’t want to go back!

How to Use

To use the Resveratrol Merlot Cleansing Kit, generously dampen a cotton ball or cotton pad with the Resveratrol Milk Cleanser. Apply the product on dry skin until makeup and dirt are lifted from the skin. Rehydrate the skin by dispensing the Resveratrol Balance Toner onto another cotton ball or clean hands. Pat the product into the skin and neck. Then, follow up with your favorite Vine Vera serum and moisturizer!

Resveratrol Zinfandel Illuminating Petal Peel System

Radiance is one of the most difficult skin qualities to achieve. It denotes a smooth-looking texture, the right level of moisture, and the absence of the appearance of dullness — each of which is difficult to achieve on its own. However, we at Vine Vera have our own express solution to radiant-looking skin: the Resveratrol Zinfandel Illuminating Petal Peel System.

Zinfandel wine’s roots can be traced back to Croatia, but it is now primarily grown in California. It is primarily known for its versatile flavor. This makes it a fantastic choice for pairing with a variety of dishes. 

In the same way, our Resveratrol Zinfandel Illuminating Petal Peel System works well with all skin types. A great example of the best skincare from wine, this illuminating skin system is an instant pick-me-up for skin that feels dull and dehydrated. It utilizes three solutions to get the best results in just 20 minutes:

• Rose-veratrol Petal-Peel Powder, which is infused with Rose Bud Powder
• Activating Petal-Peel Gel, an alcohol-free solution that draws moisture to the skin
• Correcting Petal-Peel Capsules, a natural oil full of fatty acids

How to Use

To use the Resveratrol Zinfandel Illuminating Petal Peel System, open one packet each of the powder, gel, and capsules. Pour all the components into the enclosed bowl and mix until they combine to form a creamy paste. Apply the mask onto the skin and neck, taking care to avoid the eye area. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes, then gently pull it off the skin in sections. Follow up with a serum and moisturizer for optimal results!

Resveratrol Malbec DNA Magnetic Mask

Malbec is a popular red wine produced across seven countries worldwide. With thick skin, deep purple berries, and a full-bodied taste, Malbec is the kind of wine that can please everybody. The same can be said about Vine Vera’s Malbec DNA Magnetic Mask.

Rooted in innovation and research, this mask is just one example of the best skincare from wine. Taking skincare to the next level, it utilizes a magnet and diamond powder for mess-free masking. In true Vine Vera fashion, it also makes use of natural ingredients to target the appearance of aging, uneven-looking skin, and a rough skin feel with a blend of unique ingredients. Some of the ingredients you’ll find in the Malbec DNA Magnetic Mask’s formulation include:

• Coconut Oil
• Sunflower Seed Oil
• Rosemary Leaf Extract
• Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil

How to Use

To use, simply apply a thin layer of the product onto the skin using a brush or spatula. Let the product sit on the skin for a few minutes. Insert the enclosed magnet into a sachet and hover it close to the face to lift the mask from the skin. Thereafter, massage the face and neck with the remaining oils. You can then apply your favorite serum and moisturizer to complete your at-home spa experience!

Resveratrol Shiraz Instentic Serum

There is no shortage of red wine in the market, but each variety has its own distinct characteristics that set it apart from the rest. Shiraz, for instance, has a fuller-bodied and more robust taste compared to Merlot, another common choice for red wines. Vine Vera takes these characteristics of Shiraz wine and applies them to our collection of skincare that can reduce the look of aging.

The Resveratrol Shiraz Instentic Serum harnesses the power of Sodium Hyaluronate and Vine Vera’s signature Resveratrol to crack down on the visible signs of aging. The serum also contains Retinyl Palmitate, a form of Vitamin A.

How to Use

Ready to incorporate the best skincare from wine into your routine? Here’s how to introduce the Resveratrol Shiraz Instentic Serum to your regimen.

After cleansing and toning the skin, simply apply a small amount of serum onto the face and neck. Massage it into your skin until fully absorbed. Then, layer your favorite Vine Vera moisturizer over the top.

Resveratrol Chianti Age Correcting Syringe

Chianti wine is produced in a region of Tuscany and is often packaged in a wine bottle within a straw basket. Here at Vine Vera, we have our own unique packaging for our very own Chianti-inspired serum.

The Resveratrol Chianti Age Correcting Syringe is a unique solution packaged in a non-invasive, needle-like exterior. With a syringe, targeting specific lines and problem areas becomes a much easier task. 

Just as important as the innovative packaging is what lies inside it. The Resveratrol Chianti Age Correcting Syringe harnesses the following natural ingredients:

• Avocado Oil
• Cucumber Extract
• Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract
• Sodium Hyaluronate

How to Use

Once a week, use the applicator to directly dispense the product onto specific wrinkles or areas of the face. Pat the product into your skin until fully absorbed. Before storing the syringe, remove any excess product from the applicator using a clean cotton swab. 

Although the instantaneous effects of this syringe are temporary, consistent use is beneficial. The formula is packed with ingredients that’ll help to combat the look of skin aging in the long run too.

Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Creams

Cabernet Sauvignon is easily one of the most prominent wines all over the world, with almost every wine-producing country producing this specific variety. Here at Vine Vera, Cabernet Sauvignon is also a crowd favorite with several products from the Cabernet line ranking among our list of best-sellers.

Two cult-favorite products from the line include the Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Creams. Both are formulated to improve the skin’s moisture levels through day and night:

The Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream is designed to layer well under sunscreen or makeup — no pilling or excess grease involved. Its lightweight formula features Vitamin E and Shea Butter to ensure long-lasting moisture ‘round the clock. 

The Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Night Cream, on the other hand, features a thicker and richer formula. With Retinyl Palmitate, Green Tea Extract, and Coral Seaweed Extract, this cream leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth all night. This makes it an especially great choice for those with dry skin, rough patches, or sensitivity to colder weather. 

At Vine Vera, wine is not just an inspiration for our products — it’s a crucial part of the formulation process. Taking the best qualities from popular wines from across the globe, we use science to harness the skin-loving properties of grapes to bring you the best skincare from wine.

After months of beach vacays, tiny denim shorts, and the sweltering heat of the sun, we finally bid farewell to summer. No more super sweaty and oily days that give us breakouts at last!

But as we transition from summer to the colder season, there needs to be a lot of tweaking in your skincare for fall. In the autumn, richness is key. You’ll need to trade in those lightweight, oil-free moisturizers for thicker day and night creams to make up for the cold, dry winds.

And you can’t just pick any random moisturizer for fall. You must be sure that the ingredients will give your skin the most hydration possible.

And if you want to be extra purposeful with your skincare products, you should keep an eye out for ingredients that will help address your personal skin concerns, too.

Not sure which ingredients to go for? Vine Vera is here to help. Here are eight perfect ingredients to incorporate in your skincare for fall.

Transitioning Your Skincare for Fall is Crucial

In the summertime, humidity levels are high in most places. So even if you put on just one or two layers of a lightweight moisturizer, your skin will likely feel hydrated all day. But the leaves start to fall and we hop into the colder autumn months, the air starts to change.

During fall, the humidity drops and the environment gets colder, and consequently, drier. That means there’s not enough moisture in the air to keep your hair and skin looking soft and supple anymore.

So while you change up your wardrobe, shoes, and makeup colors to welcome the season of fall, you must do it with your skincare routine too. It’s time to whip out thick creams and rich serums to keep your skin feeling quenched even as the air goes stale and dry.

Layering is going to be super important when it comes to skincare for fall. While you only had one lightweight moisturizer to beat the heat in the summer, you’ll probably need extra hydration in the fall. That means you need a combination of a serum, cream, and sunscreen to combat the feeling of dryness.

Looking to beef up your skincare for fall? Here are eight awesome ingredients to help keep your skin look in tip-top shape in the cozy, chilly months ahead:

1. Resveratrol to Get Rid of the Look of Redness from the Cold

If you have uber-sensitive skin or have eczema or rosacea, you’ll know that the colder months of autumn can cause more flare-ups than usual. The dry air triggers irritation and tenderness in the skin, leaving your skin looking red and sensitive. Resveratrol can help with that.

Resveratrol is a compound extracted from wine, grapes, and berries. It’s loved for how it can delay the visible signs of skin aging, like wrinkles and saggy skin.

But its most important role in skincare for fall is soothing the look of red, inflamed skin with its calming properties. Bye-bye, redness from the harsh cold!

It’s definitely a powerhouse ingredient in skincare, which is why we at Vine Vera put it at the forefront of all our collections. You’ll see resveratrol infused in many if not all of our cleansers, creams, serums, and other products that will be terrific for your skincare for fall.

2. Aloe Vera to Soothe the Feeling of Dry, Sensitive Skin

Aloe vera is a fantastic skincare ingredient for oily, sensitive skin because it feels hydrating and soothing without being comedogenic, which means it won’t clog your pores and cause pimples.

It’s a humectant, so it binds moisture into your skin for a boost of hydration — something your skin will likely crave in the fall.

One of our favorite creams for sensitive skin is the aloe-infused Vine Vera Resveratrol Moscato Sensitive Skin Cream. The gentle yet hardworking moisturizer feels rich without being overly greasy. Instead, it just leaves a suppleness and healthy glow to your skin.

With like resveratrol, olive oil, retinyl palmitate (a derivative of vitamin A), allantoin, panthenol, and ceramides, this cream combats the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also leaves your skin feeling super soft and smooth.

3. Shea Butter to Leave Parched Skin Feeling Strengthened

Shea butter is one of the most popular vegetable oils out there because of its creamy and decadent texture. It’s a natural butter extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, native to Africa. Like coconut oil, it solidifies at room temperature, so you just know it’s going to be thick and rich.

This butter is an excellent skincare ingredient for those with naturally dry skin because the fall months will likely hit you even harder with dehydration. Shea butter will help your skin feel prepared for the battle against the cold, dry air.

Leave your skin feeling plumped up and moisturized this fall with the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream. It has shea butter, resveratrol, and vitamin E to give super thirsty skin a quenched feeling. It boosts the look of elasticity while leaving skin feeling resilient.

When used daily, you’ll notice how radiant and soft your skin will feel. No dryness and flaking here! Just properly hydrated skin for a fab autumn.

4. Sunflower Seed Oil for a Boost of Vitamin E

Another ingredient you can find in the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream is sunflower seed oil. This underrated oil is chock-full of vitamin E, which is known to give the skin a healthy and hydrated appearance.

It’s a wonderful ingredient for skincare for fall when you need moisture and a way to beat the appearance of redness and skin sensitivity.

5. Jojoba Oil for its Sensitive Skin-Friendly Hydration

Jojoba oil is another popular moisturizing oil for both the skin and hair. But one thing many people don’t know is that it’s not actually oil. It’s a wax ester, aka sebum that’s very similar in structure to the oils produced by the human body. It’s as close as you can get to mimicking your skin’s natural oil.

Because of that, jojoba oil is quite unproblematic on the skin. It’s unlikely to clog your pores or cause irritation since it’s so close to the oil already being produced by your glands.

This lightweight oil is excellent not just for adding hydration and a smooth feeling to the skin. It also helps balance sebum production, making it beneficial for dry and oily skin alike.

You might have seen jojoba oil in many face creams and masks in the past. But it’s not just your face you need to watch out for in the autumn months. You need to be wary of your skin from head to toe too! Experience the benefits of jojoba oil in the Vine Vera Intensive Shea Body Butter.

Aside from jojoba oil, this body butter contains aloe and shea, two botanicals we already know are amazing for skincare for fall. These ingredients work together to leave your skin feeling bouncy and silky soft to the touch.

Use this butter daily during the fall if you have dry knees, elbows, and hands. Don’t neglect these parts of your skin this fall by ensuring you have a soft, supple complexion from the neck down, too.

6. Vitamin C to Brighten the Look of Your Skin

Another negative effect of the colder fall months is that our skin and hair get weaker. Moisture is a must for keeping the skin barrier feeling strong and fortified. That means that in the drier months, the skin will likely be more vulnerable to damage.

Vitamin C can help. This well-loved vitamin will leave your skin looking bright, tight, and youthful.

Want to see the magic of vitamin C for yourself? Try out the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum. It’s infused with so many exquisite ingredients, such as resveratrol and vitamin A. It would be an excellent addition to your skincare for fall if you’re looking for something to prevent the appearance of wrinkles. 

7. Sodium Hyaluronate for Extra Hydration on Chilly Days

Hyaluronic acid is a popular humectant that draws water from the air to bring into your skin. It’s considered a cult fave for hydration, so we’re sure you’ve heard about it at least once before. But let us introduce you to hyaluronic acid’s arguably more effective little sister: sodium hyaluronate.

Sodium hyaluronate is a derivative of hyaluronic acid. It has a smaller molecular weight than the latter, making it easy for it to penetrate the deeper layers of skin and give them extra hydration. And because it’s a salt form, it’s more stable than other types of hyaluronic acid.

Aside from combating the dehydration that your skin is susceptible to in the fall, sodium hyaluronate is also known to plump up the look of tired, lifeless skin with no bounce. This is terrific if your skin is looking and feeling a bit dull, or if you’re noticing the early visible signs of wrinkles and deep lines.

Unlike emollient oils and butter, sodium hyaluronate is incredibly lightweight and non-greasy. It leaves your skin with a healthy-feeling dewiness without it feeling excessively oily.  It’s the perfect hydrating ingredient for those with acne-prone skin.

Try out the benefits of sodium hyaluronate with a little treat for your eyes — the Vine Vera Resveratrol Eye Collection Age-Defying Eye Serum.

This eye serum is a more convenient alternative for daily eye cream. Aside from sodium hyaluronate, it contains vitamin C, green tea, and resveratrol to make your under-eyes appear hydrated, firm, and bright.

8. Squalane to Get that Silky Smooth Feeling

Last but not least, we have squalane, an emollient found in lipids to help moisturize the skin deeply while leaving a silky finish to the complexion. It’s easy for the skin to feel super flaky during fall, so squalane is a terrific ingredient to use to combat that.

Get that smooth, silky skin you’ve always wanted with the Vine Vera Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto-Silk Mask. This leave-on mask is rich in moisturizing ingredients like squalane, collagen, aloe vera, and peptides. These work together to reduce the feeling of dry skin and fight the appearance of aging.

It’s also infused with fruit extracts, including maqui, acai berry, goji, noni, pomegranate, and more. These refresh and rejuvenate the feel of the skin.

Conclusion

There are a plethora of oils and botanicals that can help elevate your skincare for fall, but these eight are our holy grails. Some of them give your thirsty skin plenty of hydration, like sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera, while others smoothen the look of your skin for a pretty glow, like shea butter and squalene.

Picking out new products for your skincare for fall may sound like a chore and unnecessary expense. But when you understand the many benefits these ingredients can give your skin as you jump into the cold autumn, you’ll know that they’re totally worth it.

Beat the feeling of dehydration, redness, and tiredness that come about in your skin during the fall with these eight ingredients. Keep an eye out for them as you shop at Vine Vera, and you’ll have skin that feels smooth, supple, and hydrated throughout fall.

Did you know that blood circulation is crucial for our skin?

We all understand the importance of proper blood circulation: it transports oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, which benefits the brain, heart, lungs, muscles, and digestion, among other things.

In addition, blood transports oxygen, vital nutrients and transports waste items, effectively detoxifying your skin from the inside. Good blood circulation also helps with cell regrowth and skin health, with cell regrowth necessary for collagen production.

Poor blood circulation can cause a variety of issues. You may look paler with a washed-out appearance and may have to contend with skin dryness, irritation, itching, an uneven and blotchy skin tone, and an increased risk of infections or slow-healing wounds.

So, how do you attain that wonderfully glowy skin while keeping your blood circulation in check?

There are a few basic things you can do to keep your blood moving and nutrients flowing to your skin cells, and that includes having a good skincare routine.

Here at Vine Vera, we harness the power of resveratrol, among many other skin-loving ingredients, to give your skin everything that it needs to glow! Read on for a deeper look at our products.

Give Your Face a Massage with Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Merlot Facial Exfoliant

When it comes to maintaining healthy-looking skin, exfoliation is essential, and it should be a part of your weekly skincare routine. The Resveratrol Merlot Facial Exfoliant removes the look of roughness, dullness, and dryness from your skin, leaving it appearing polished, smooth, and bright.

The exfoliating grains help to slough off dead skin as you massage it over your face, and the rubbing action promotes circulation.

Exfoliating also helps prevent the look of dry, flaky skin as well as cellulite. Even better, removing the dead, old layers of your skin increases the absorption of any lotions you use afterward.

Once you’re done, keep your skin feeling fortified with a layer of your favorite Vine Vera moisturizer. We have numerous skin cream formulas for you to choose from! 

Show Your Skin Some Love With This Facial Stimulator

Revolutionize your everyday skincare regimen with Vine Vera’s new and totally unique facial stimulator.

Complete with iontophoresis technology and vibration massage functions, this intelligent, tiny applicator can ease the feeling of tension from your skin.

Use this tool to boost the properties of any essence you’re using, whether it’s a day moisturizer or an eye cream.

Facial massages can help your skin look better. They can aid in relaxing the muscles that generate the appearance of stress lines, leaving your skin looking youthfully smooth and firm.

Manual Facial Massages

Looking to improve the feel of your skin texture? Well, as mentioned, you should consider facial massages. 

We guess you could call it a form of “facial exercise.”

You could even massage your face using your hands or a gua sha tool!

Cleanliness is key, so you should wash your hands with warm water and antibacterial soap before you start. You could also try steaming your face first.

How to Perform a Facial Massage

Using minimal pressure, give your lymph node area a massage. Then, run your fingers under your ears, up along your jawline, and down to your throat.

Move over to the side of your jaw, past your lips, and over your cheekbones in a wide circular motion. It’s always a good idea to press skin up and out. Never pull your skin down to the point where it sags.

After that, massage your forehead with both hands. Begin by massaging your temples and work your way up to the center of your forehead.

Lightly massage around your eyes with soft strokes to relieve the look of puffiness. Just do this for a minute every day to obtain the best results, and Vine Vera promises you’ll see a difference in the long run.

Harness the Strength of LED Light Therapy for an Added Boost

Did you know that LED light treatment was first developed to speed up the healing of surgical wounds and scars? After that, specialists discovered that LED light therapy also helped renew and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin.

There are no known contraindications to LED light treatment, according to specialists. It’s suitable for all skin types and conditions, and it’s even safe to use around the eyes.

At Vine Vera, we have a few fantastic devices up our sleeves that are highly raved by our loyal customers:

TORCHĒ V2+ AMBER LIGHT

JELESSI’s Torche V2+ Amber Light uses Amber LEDs and heat technology to rejuvenate the look of your skin for that instant glow. With regular usage, this non-invasive gadget can minimize the appearance of oil, brown spots, irritation, and pore size, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

TORCHĒ V2+

They may look the same, but this product emits red LED light, which is the most effective light on the spectrum to boost the look of skin circulation.

This groundbreaking device is guaranteed to bring back the glow to your skin.

This effective treatment uses red LED infrared technology to target the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots on the face and neck. As a result, you will notice a revitalized youthfulness in both the look and feel of your skin with regular usage.

PHOTONIX-2 JADE EYE WAND

The skin around your eyes is noticeably thinner and more sensitive than the rest of your face, which is why the products you use around your eyes should be specifically developed for this area.

The Photonix-2 Eye Wand’s Blue Relief Mode brightens the look of the complexion, and reduces the appearance of puffiness. On the other hand, red light waves are used in the Magnetic Heat Lifting Mode to give the skin a smoother and firmer finish.

Load Up on Resveratrol

As if we haven’t stressed enough, resveratrol is magic in a bottle for your skin!

So, what is resveratrol, the skin-loving ingredient found in most Vine Vera products?

Resveratrol is a substance that can be found in berries, grapes, and wine. But, it’s not as simple as downing a bottle of chianti with your meals, or splashing it on your face (no matter how delicious that sounds!).

It’s a popular skincare ingredient for those with mature skin because of how it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while giving the skin a beautiful glow.

If you’re searching for the perfect ingredient that’ll give you a boost when it comes to the appearance of your skin, you’ll find what you need at Vine Vera, because our products are enriched with the goodness of resveratrol.

The Resveratrol Malbec DNA Melting Pre-Mask

One product that we’d recommend is the Resveratrol Malbec DNA Melting Pre-Mask.

This skincare component is formulated with three main powerhouse ingredients:

• Resveratrol
• Sweet Almond Oil
• Vitamin C

The Vine Vera Malbec DNA Melting Pre-Mask is an easy-to-use pre-mask that firms and tightens the look and feel of your skin. It’ll prepare it for the application of your fave Vine Vera facial mask.

This innovative pre-mask melts into a smooth oil before it changes into a clarifying foam that rids the skin of impurities.

The Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream

Additionally, Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream is an excellent moisturizer to include in your skincare routine. This cream is high in resveratrol and vitamin E, which will both leave your skin looking glowy.

This formula contains shea butter too, which will moisturize your skin. This day cream is excellent for dry skin that needs a little extra moisture. It’s also great for mature skin that requires a pick-me-up in terms of looking tighter and brighter.

Turn to Retinyl Palmitate

Retinol is another powerhouse ingredient that’s commonly heard in the world of skincare, and with good reason too.

Vitamin A derivatives are beneficial if you want to prevent the look of wrinkles and age spots on your skin. 

Besides giving the skin a glow, retinoids are popular because they also improve how the skin’s texture feels.

Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Shiraz Instentic Mask is loaded with ingredients like seaweed extract, Vitamin E, and retinyl palmitate, a gentler form of retinol. This is a potent blend that helps give your skin a glowy finish.

Besides these three ingredients, this mask also has aloe vera extract, ginkgo extract, safflower oil, and a host of botanical extracts that will help your skin in so many ways!

Summary

All in all, ​​these steps are a surefire way to give your skin a gorgeous glow. However, don’t be discouraged if they will don’t work immediately.

Intrigued? Read on for more information about exfoliation, how to find a product that gets the job done, the results you can expect from a great exfoliating product, and why you’ll want to find a great one, such as our Resveratrol Cabernet High-Potency Cellular Peel, today!

First, let’s get into the nitty-gritty on exfoliation in general. It’s great to have a foundation to build upon and besides, we like to share what we know here at Vine Vera.

What it Means to Exfoliate Your Skin

If you stay up to date on skincare trends, you’ve likely heard of skin exfoliation. But you may not know what the term means, or how to go about it. 

To exfoliate your skin means to slough off the outer layer of your skin. This removes any dirt, buildup, excess oils, and dead skin cells. When you rid your skin of this outer layer and the dirt and buildup that comes with it, you reveal brighter-looking skin that is better able to hold hydration.

The best way to exfoliate your skin is by using a skincare product specially formulated to get rid of this outer layer of buildup while also boosting your skin’s hydration.

Because no one wants to think that they are walking around showcasing dirty, dead skin cells, let’s delve into why exfoliation has become a game-changer in the world of essential beauty.

The Benefits of a High-Quality Exfoliation Product

You may already own a few beauty tools or products that claim to exfoliate your skin until it’s so clean that it shines. But we’re guessing you wouldn’t be reading this right now if those products worked well on your skin.

A high-quality exfoliating product developed by a good brand that does its research is a must-have in your skincare regimen.

But, can’t lower budget creams and peels do the job?

Well, yes and no. Many skin care products that are designed to get the exfoliation job done to do so abrasively. These products don’t contain ingredients that work gently enough to preserve your skin’s vital natural oils and can leave your skin looking damaged and dry.

For this reason, it’s important for your skin that you choose exfoliating products that help maintain the look of healthy skin. When in doubt, always pick products that contain proven high-quality ingredients. Exfoliating products such as our Vine Vera Cellular Peel are the perfect luxurious addition to your beauty routine.

Finding the best exfoliation product sounds pretty important, doesn’t it? Let’s get right into finding an ideal exfoliating product match for your skin type. We’ll also share how you’ll know for sure that you’ve found a product that’s a keeper!

Which Exfoliating Product is Best for Your Skin?

For this, you’ll want to do your homework on skincare brands. Some questions to ask yourself when considering where to buy your new exfoliating best friend might include:

• Are the ingredients used in their products proven to work? 
• Do they carefully craft their product formulations to achieve targeted results?
• Do their products work on your skin type?

But beyond the answers to these questions, the proof that an exfoliating product is right for you is in how your skin looks and feels after use of the product. You’ll know after the first use or two if a product lives up to its hype.

You’ll find that high-end products use ingredients that often deliver immediate results.

Finding the best exfoliating product for your skin can be game-changing as far as how you look and feel in your skin.

At Vine Vera, we know that your skin is unique to you. When it comes to developing exfoliating products that tackle your skin concerns gently yet effectively, we know that using researched ingredients is a critical step in developing our best-selling products.

An Exfoliant That Can Be Used on All Skin Types

We’d love to help match you with an exfoliating product that works best on your skin. Vine Vera has developed our bestselling Resveratrol Cabernet High-Potency Cellular Peel for use on ALL skin types, especially yours.

Keep in mind, there are some brands that might advertise exfoliating creams that will treat your skin gently. However, these can often leave you with dirt and oil still clogging up your dull complexion. Worse, they will harshly strip your skin of its vital oils. This leaves it both damaged and exposed to the elements.

You’ll find that top-notch exfoliating skincare products are often infused with ingredients proven to improve the appearance of your skin. Exfoliating peels should contain ingredients proven to hydrate your skin as well as rid it of dirt and impurities. Ingredients such as the Glycerin and Propylene Glycol in our Vine Vera Cellular Peel provided targeted results, leaving your skin feeling more hydrated than ever.

When Should I Use an Exfoliating Product?

The key to boldly flaunting freshly exfoliated skin that looks bright and hydrated is to know how often to exfoliate.

Most skin care experts recommend that you exfoliate your skin two to three times a week. Exfoliating immediately after cleansing your skin is best. This way your complexion will benefit the most from the ingredients in your exfoliating product.

How to Use an Exfoliating Product

One of the most amazing benefits of using exfoliating products is that you are able to kiss the dulling buildup of dirt and oils goodbye with surprising ease. And when using an exfoliating peel like our Vine Vera Cellular Peel, you’ll find yourself flaunting skin that looks visibly fresh, deeply cleansed, and bright within just a matter of moments.

There is an art to exfoliating your skin, however. And for your skin to reap the maximum benefits of an exfoliating product, it’s essential that you follow the provided instructions for applying the product.

Are you feeling ready to get your exfoliation game started?

How to Apply an Exfoliation Peel

Below are the three fast and easy steps to follow to score skin that looks bright and refreshed.

Because of the powerful potency of the ingredients in high-quality exfoliating peels, such as our Resveratrol Cabernet High-Potency Cellular Peel, most high-quality exfoliating products only need to be applied once or twice a week at the most.

• Apply a quarter-sized amount of the peel into the palm of your hand
• Gently rub into cleansed skin using a circular motion (this massage in itself will give you an instant glow), making sure to avoid the eye area.
• Rinse with cool water

And that’s all there is to it! Couldn’t be easier, right?

Not all of the visible signs of aging are made equal. Some wrinkles form faster, some fine lines run deeper, and in certain areas of the face, gravity weighs a little heavier on the skin to induce a subtle sag.

Signs of aging tend to manifest faster in the most delicate areas of the face. One such area is around the eyes.

A 2015 study found that areas with fewer sebaceous glands are more prone to visible wrinkles. The eye area is not only thinner and more sensitive, but it also has fewer oil-producing glands. This explains why the appearance of under-eye darkness, fine lines, and crow’s feet have the tendency to show through quickly. 

This is where the best-selling Vine Vera eye serum comes in.

The Vine Vera Eye Serum

Vine Vera has a number of eye care products on our roster, but the one we’re zeroing in on today is our best-selling Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum. With skin-loving ingredients enrobed in a gentle yet effective solution, this Vine Vera eye serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area.

A great fit for every skin type, the product is free of parabens that may potentially trigger irritation. Even better, like all Vine Vera products, the Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum is cruelty-free and therefore, not tested on animals.

What Causes Aging?

Before identifying the solution to aging, it’s important to tackle what causes signs of aging to manifest in the first place. The truth is that aging is a result of multiple triggers that our skin is exposed to overtime:

One of these triggers is UV damage. According to a 2015 volume of the Antioxidants journal, UV exposure can account for up to 80% of visible signs of aging. These may include dry skin, wrinkling, scalping, and freckling, among others, which may also make the skin more susceptible to cancer risks.

Another cause is pollution. Engaging in daily activities that expose the skin to pollution in traffic-saturated areas has shown links to accelerated aging.

These environmental stressors are just a couple of the factors that contribute to the inevitable equation that is aging.

While getting older will remain unavoidable until mankind invents the time machine, there are ways to keep the telltale signs at bay.

What’s the Deal with Resveratrol?

Resveratrol, an antioxidant derived from red grapes, is Vine Vera’s answer to skin that looks old. As our signature ingredient, it’s present across all of Vine Vera’s lines and products.

When included in a skincare routine, this ingredient has the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while giving the skin a plump and youthful look.

The Vitamin C Boost

As wonderful as Resveratrol is, there is no single skin care ingredient that can work miracles on its own. The Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum is no exception.

To boost the effects of Resveratrol, the Vine Vera eye serum harnesses the protective power of other powerful antioxidant-rich ingredients, including:

• Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) Flower Extract
• Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract
• Ascorbic Acid

The last of these ingredients, Ascorbic Acid, is more popularly known as Vitamin C. Another cult favorite in the world of skincare, Vitamin C serves up a wide range of benefits. Not only does it reduce the appearance of aging skin, but it also brightens the look of the skin, making it great for fading the visibility of dark spots.

Moisture, Moisture, Moisture

They say that those with oily skin types age slower compared to those with dry skin. This is not a factual claim, however, the belief is not completely unfounded.

Those with higher sebum production (and therefore, more oil) may be more prone to breakouts. But, this also makes those with this skin type less prone to visible wrinkles. This, in turn, makes their skin look less affected by the wear and tear of time — and it’s all thanks to good old moisture. 

Moisture isn’t just a fancy buzzword that should be thrown around. Rather, moisture has the ability to keep the skin feeling balanced, healthy — and yes, youthful.

Before we go any further, it’s important to set the record straight: moisture and hydration are two completely different things. Despite many using the terms interchangeably, they pertain to different facets of the skin altogether. 

Here’s the difference:

• Hydration, like the word suggests, pertains to the skin’s water content. Therefore, dehydration is the lack of water in the skin. This is not a skin type, but a skin concern that can be solved over time with lifestyle changes and the proper skincare routine.
• Moisture, on the other hand, refers to the amount of oil housed within your skin. Unlike hydration, oiliness is a skin type that someone is born with.

That said, moisturizing ingredients do not solve dehydration. Instead, they are able to target the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging that may be a result of chronic dryness.

Sodium Hyaluronate

The Vine Vera eye serum is rich in potent moisturizing ingredients. One of these ingredients is Sodium Hyaluronate, which is very similar to the wildly popular Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

Like Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate replenishes the skin’s moisture and is a great fit for all skin types and ages.

However, the real difference between Sodium Hyaluronate and its cousin lies in two factors: stability and penetration.

As the sodium form of HA, Sodium Hyaluronate is more stable and easier to formulate. It also has a lower molecular weight than HA, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the inner layers of the skin. This translates into more effective absorbency.

Aloe Vera Extract

Another key moisturizing ingredient in the Vine Vera eye serum is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, otherwise known as Aloe Vera Extract. 

For centuries, Aloe Vera has been a staple in multiple cultures across the world. To this day, many still keep the plant in their household, finding comfort in having its leaves handy anytime they need a rich balm.

In the skincare realm, Aloe Vera Extract exists in various forms: gel, liquid, oils, and more. It has found its way into skin care formulations because of its ability to soothe the feeling of irritated skin, calm visible inflammation, and deliver moisture to the skin’s surface.

Other moisturizers found in the Vine Vera eye serum include Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Sodium PCA, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, and Glycerin. 

Peptides to Restore the Feel of Your Skin

Peptides are not quite as popular as the previous ingredients we’ve discussed here, but we argue that they should be. Sure, their names may be intimidating — but when it comes down to results, you can count on them to deliver.

In a nutshell, peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are basically the building blocks that come together to form proteins like elastin and collagen. While we naturally have these proteins in our skin, the amount we hold on to dwindles over time. This makes it crucial to replenish our peptides via our skincare, especially for delicate areas like the under-eyes.

The Vine Vera eye serum contains two kinds of peptides to slow down the visible signs of aging: Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

A 2012 study found that Palmitoyl Oligopeptide significantly reduced the depth of the appearance of wrinkles and improved the feel of skin texture. 

No Nasties

We’ve talked plenty about what the Vine Vera eye serum has — from Resveratrol and Vitamin C to moisturizers and peptides. Now let’s talk about what it doesn’t have.

Take a look through the Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum and you’ll notice that unlike many skin care products out there, there is a glaring lack of alcohol. With the growing interest in skin health, more and more consumers are becoming aware of what’s in their products — and most forms of alcohol have become synonymous with red flags for the well-informed skincare junkie.

Here, we explain why:

Not all alcohols are bad. Cetyl Alcohol, for instance, is a fatty alcohol that functions as a moisturizer. However, when people want their products to be alcohol-free, they mostly refer to alcohols like Ethanol. 

Ethanol is a solvent, which makes it great for dissolving oily skincare actives like Salicylic Acid. It is also used to cleanse the skin and improve the spreadability of products.

However, these benefits come at a price. Ethanol has been linked with aggravated dehydration and irritation, which makes it an ingredient that those with more sensitive skin should avoid. The same can be said about Alcohol Denat or denatured alcohol, which is Ethanol combined with a small concentration of another ingredient.

What About Essential Oils and Fragrances? 

Essential oils have long been lauded for their use in aromatherapy, and some continue to swear by their abilities to this day. All things considered, several kinds of essential oils pose benefits for the skin because of their standout properties. However, these oils may pose a larger risk that may not be worth the gamble.

Even in skincare, essential oils can be very potent and fragrant. This may cause inflammation and sensitivity. And in certain instances, may even be toxic. A few reports have surfaced in the past years — one from WebMD and another from The New York Times, for instance — depicting the havoc that essential oils may wreak on the skin.

Jumping off the same idea, as much as possible, fragrance in skincare should also be avoided. 

Unlike essential oils, fragrance does not bring any additional benefits to the table; they simply exist to make products smell more pleasing. However, at the end of the day, fragrance is a potentially sensitizing allergen — and when it comes to skincare, it is always a good idea to err on the side of caution (and science, of course.)

Interested in stepping up your eye care routine? You can rest assured that the Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum is completely safe and free of alcohol, essential oils, and fragrance.

With the benefits of antioxidants, peptides, and an array of moisturizers — and without all the dangers of sensitizing ingredients — the Resveratrol Age-Defying Eye Serum can effectively hit undo on the visible signs of aging.

Merlot. Hear the word and you might imagine plump, rich red grapes dangling on a vine in front of a lazy sunset. 

Want to know a secret?

• Resveratrol Merlot Nourishing Night Cream
• Resveratrol Merlot Moisturizing Day Cream
• Vine Vera Resveratrol Cleansing Kit – Milk Cleanser
• Resveratrol Balance Toner
• Resveratrol Facial Exfoliant

Let’s break it down and take a look at each of these products and how they work to diminish the appearance of aging and restore the look of your skin.

The Resveratrol Merlot Nourishing Night Cream

If you are of a certain age, you have probably noticed that throughout the course of your day, your skin looks increasingly more dry and dull in tone. It gradually loses the natural glow that made you look more youthful earlier in your day. As a result, your skin will look older. 

The Resveratrol Merlot Nourishing Night Cream works it’s magic to restore that glow while you sleep. Because your skin is safe from exposure to damaging UV rays and environmental pollutants while you sleep, this restorative cream, fortified with Resveratrol Ferment Extract, jumps at the opportunity to care for your skin.

The magic of this product is in the ingredients selected by Vine Vera. In addition to VIne Vera’s special weapon, Resveratrol Ferment Extract, this night cream is formulated with Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Shea Butter to provide lasting results. The very opposite of mature-looking skin.

Vine Vera suggests you use the Resveratrol Merlot Nourishing Night Cream in combination with our Resveratrol Merlot Moisture Day Cream to achieve the best results.

The Resveratrol Merlot Moisture Day Cream 

During the day, your skin is exposed. 

UV rays harmfully penetrate your skin damaging the elastic fibers that keep your skin looking tight and taut. You can also blame the sun for visibly damaging your skin during the day. It’s what caused the appearance of those premature wrinkles and age spots you may be noticing lately.

And environmental pollutants? They damage your skin’s protective barrier to the elements while you go about your day.

Vine Vera has developed the Resveratrol Merlot Moisture Day Cream to leave skin feeling protected. 

A multi-tasker, this cream absorbs into your skin to keep it feeling moist and hydrated. Ingredients like Resveratrol Ferment Extract, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, and Shea Butter leave your skin with a soft and radiant finish.

When used alongside Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Facial Serum and Resveratrol Merlot Moisture Day Cream as part of your daily skincare regimen, you can count on achieving amazing results.

The Vine Vera Resveratrol Milk Cleanser

Have sensitive, delicate skin? 

Then Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Milk Cleanser was designed with you in mind. An essential part of the Vine Vera Merlot Collection, It’s formulated to remove your make-up and impurities gently, while leaving your skin looking and feeling soft, cleansed, and refreshed.

A cleanser with a creamy blend, Vine Vera Resveratrol Milk Cleanser gently removes your makeup and built-up dirt and impurities.  A luxurious face wash, it leaves your skin looking and feeling refreshed, detoxified, and clean.

The Vine Vera Resveratrol Milk Cleanser is also available with the Vine Vera Balance Toner as part of the Resveratrol Merlot Cleansing Kit.

Resveratrol Balance Toner

Do you have large pores? Rough patches of skin?  Is your skin uneven?

A gentle toner that allows your skin to keep it’s natural oils, the Resveratrol Balance Toner removes dirt and oil from your skin but leaves it with an even and radiant appearance.  It helps to temporarily minimize the visibility of your pores after washing with a cleanser. This keeps impurities and environmental contaminants from absorbing into your pores and gives your skin a smooth and even look.

Want to pair this toner with a fantastic cleanser? Vine Vera Resveratrol Balance Toner and Resveratrol Milk Cleanser come together in the Resveratrol Merlot Cleansing Kit.

Resveratrol Merlot Facial Exfoliant 

Do you have dull skin that lacks shine? The Resveratrol Merlot Facial Exfoliant was designed to clear the surface of your skin from the buildup of dirt and oil that cause it to look dull and lose its shiny glow. And without that buildup on the skin, your skin is able and ready to absorb your other nourishing skincare products.

This exfoliant from the Vine Vera Merlot Collection is not abrasive. It won’t strip your skin completely, like many others on the market. It allows your skin to retain its natural vital oils.  

And once this exfoliant does its job, you are left with brighter, softer, more radiant-looking skin.  

The Resveratrol Merlot Refining Peeling

Lost that youthful glow? 

A fan favorite in the Vine Vera Merlot Collection, Resveratrol Merlot Refining Peeling is a gentle peel made with Resveratrol Ferment Extract. This refining peel works by ridding the surface of your skin from the dulling buildup of dirt and oils without stripping your skin of the vital oils that give it that glow. As a result, your skin maintains its moisture and looks clean and more hydrated.

What was once dull and lifeless looks brighter and more radiant with this peel.

To make the most of Resveratrol Merlot Refining Peeling, Vine Vera recommends combining this peel with regular use of the Resveratrol Facial Serum.

Key Ingredients in the Vine Vera Merlot Collection

Resveratrol Ferment Extract

Receiving glowing praise and reviews, this is Vine Vera’s secret anti-aging ingredient. Resveratrol Ferment Extract is a powerful topical antioxidant sourced from the skin of red grapes.  

A polyphenol, often referred to as the “longevity gene,” Resveratrol Ferment Extract works in the products in the Vine Vera Merlot Collection to reduce the appearance of aging, leaving skin looking firmer, fuller, and tighter.

Hyaluronic Acid

A favorite of dermatologists and skincare experts, Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in your body. It’s a sugar in your skin that keeps your skin looking hydrated, soft, and youthfully plump. But as you age, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid that is present in your skin decreases, right along with the amount of collagen and elastin in your skin.

But you can get it back.

Vine Vera has formulated several products with Hyaluronic Acid. The ingredient features heavily in the Vine Vera Merlot Collection. It’s incredible for bringing moisture to your skin. 

It’s the wonder worker that plumps the appearance of fine lines and gives your complexion that dewy glow.

Butyrospermum Parkii Oil (Shea Butter)

The Holy Grail for dry, dehydrated skin that does not retain moisture, shea butter has been used for hundreds of years to moisturize and soften the feel of the skin. 

Full of vitamins, Shea Butter has Vitamins A and E, as well as fatty acids that moisturize the skin. 

In Conclusion

While there might be nothing better than a glass of Merlot, the Vine Vera Merlot Collection comes close.  

The products in this line have been amazingly popular at Vine Vera, mainly because of its quality ingredients and how it works so effectively. If you’ve been looking for a new way to hydrate and smooth the look and feel of your skin, you’ve found it. Treat yourself to the Vine Vera Merlot Collection now! 

Our wardrobes evolve as the seasons change, and so should our beauty routines. Just like the sweaters and coats rotate to the back of our closets when the summer starts creeping in, our skincare routines deserve to shed a few layers in the summertime.

Skincare Products for Summer

When it comes to summer-appropriate skincare, the rules are fairly simple. Here’s Vine Vera’s take on things:

Double up on the protection, but keep textures lightweight.

With temperatures rising and the summer sunshine demanding to be felt, the last thing you want is for your skincare to pile on heavy and feel grimy throughout the day. After all, warmer weather should equate to fewer steps, lighter formulations.

But how exactly can we care for our skin while streamlining our skincare products for summer?

It’s easier than it sounds. Like every regimen, a summer-ready skincare routine should start with a solid foundation—one rooted in carefully selected ingredients.

It’s even more important while being on a sunny vacation as you will probably spend even more time outdoors.

This is where Vine Vera’s star ingredient, resveratrol, comes in. 

Known as the red grape antioxidant, resveratrol is derived from the skin and seed of red grapes. Resveratrol is a perfectly valid reason to increase your red wine intake. We’ll raise a glass to that, but that’s not where this resveratrol’s abilities end.

See, to enjoy resveratrol’s benefits, you’d need to drink copious amounts of wine — around 1,000 bottles in a day, to be exact. However, there is another way to reap the benefits of this supercharged plant compound:

The answer is working it into your skincare routine, especially when it comes to skincare products for summer.

Transition into the warmer seasons with a resveratrol-rich skincare routine. Start with these five skincare products for summer:

Resveratrol Vitamin C Cleanser

The beach, the melting ice cream cones, the scorching heat — for most of us, the summer rings synonymous with sweat-slick skin and fun in the sun.

At the end of a warm day, there’s nothing quite like washing your face to give your skincare products for summer a clean canvas to work their magic on.

Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Vitamin C Cleanser is the ideal candidate for the job. A refreshing gel-type formula, this cleanser lifts dirt and grime off the face without excessively stripping the skin of its moisture.

Besides resveratrol, this cleanser has another core ingredient: vitamin C. If you grew up taking vitamin C supplements, you’ll know just how crucial this ingredient is for keeping your health in check. In the realm of skincare, you could say vitamin C plays just as big a role. Not only does it minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, but it also brightens the appearance of dark spots and a dull skin tone.

To use, every morning and evening, apply a small amount of cleanser on to wet skin. Massage it into the skin in circular motions, then rinse off with warm water.

Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Cellular Peel

Skincare products for summer should be light, potent but effective. For days when you want to double up on cleansing, consider reaching for Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Cellular Peel. 

Despite what the name may sound like, this product won’t have your skin flaking and peeling. Instead, it will slough off dead skin cells to reveal a healthier-looking complexion — perfect for makeup-free summer days.

Unlike physical exfoliators with chunky particles that can cause micro-scars, the Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Cellular Peel gently does away with dead cells by breaking down stubborn, flaky skin.

Although this product isn’t harshly formulated, remember that with great power comes great responsibility—even in skincare. Like all exfoliators, Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Cellular Peel should be used moderately. Once or twice a week, apply a quarter-sized amount to the face then rinse off with cool water.

Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum

Unlike cleansers and wash-off exfoliators, serums and essences stay on your skin throughout the day and all night long. They’ll contain potent active ingredients, usually in higher concentrations, to deliver optimal results to the skin.

Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum is full of potent extracts and vitamins to restore the skin’s radiant glow. Let’s dive into the product’s ingredient list:

• Glycerin, to hydrate the skin
• Retinyl palmitate, otherwise known as vitamin A palmitate
• Lactic acid, which can work wonders to lessen the look of fine lines

Fair warning: it usually isn’t advisable for lactic acid and retinol to be combined in a routine — let alone in a single product. But there’s no need to fret: retinyl palmitate is the gentlest out of the four kinds of retinol.

By combining it with a cocktail of antioxidants and hydrators, retinyl palmitate is gentle enough not to cause dryness or irritation. But remember, it’s always a good idea to patch test products before adding them to your regimen!

To use the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Serum, apply a small amount on clean skin daily.

Cabernet Rejuvenation Facial & Eye Mask

Picture this: kicking back on a summer evening, sticking your nose in a book, or devouring a new series, all while treating yourself to a relaxing face mask. Rather than a regular fixture in your round-up of skincare products for summer, think of the Cabernet Rejuvenation Facial & Eye Mask as a weekly pick-me-up for your skin.

These masks, packed individually and soaked in a powerful mix of skincare actives, pack a punch of hydration — all without leaving a sticky, heavy feeling on the skin.

One of these superstar ingredients is hyaluronic acid. Our skin naturally contains hyaluronic acid, as it helps our cells hold on to water and maintains the look of plumpness. But over time, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our body diminishes, much like collagen and elastin.

When you need reinforcements, take a moment to breathe some life into your skin. Vine Vera’s Cabernet Rejuvenation Facial & Eye Mask makes a perfect addition to your line-up of skincare products for summer, especially if your skin is feeling dehydrated or fatigued.

Cap off your summer weekends right with Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Cabernet Rejuvenating Facial and Eye Mask. To use the facial mask, place the soft sheet on a clean face. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with cool water. When your eyes feel heavy from late nights or too much screen time, carefully apply the eye mask and rinse off after 10 minutes. 

Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30

Some may think that you can skip moisturizing on warmer days, but the heat and humidity make this step even more important. Here’s why:

• Summer oiliness is often a result of the skin overcompensating for the dehydration caused by heightened sun exposure and humidity.
• The warmer weather usually comes hand-in-hand with more sweating and loss of fluids. Through it all, occlusive moisturizers help the skin retain hydration.
• Flocking to air-conditioned spaces to cope with the heat can lead to skin dryness.

Needless to say, your selection of skincare products for summer should include a moisturizer — albeit one with a lightweight, non-greasy formulation.

With moisturizing ingredients and sunscreen actives, you can count on Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30 only to keep your skin’s moisture in check while shielding it from UV damage, too.

This product contains a total of five sunscreen ingredients, effectively filtering both UVA and UVB rays. Octisalate sunscreen also lends water resistance to the moisture cream, helping the product last through sweaty summer days. 

To use, generously apply the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30 onto clean skin. To allow the product to seep into the skin effectively, apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. 

Summary

With exquisite ingredients, lightweight formulations, and multitasking resveratrol at the center of your routine, there’s no need to worry about products feeling too heavy throughout the day. Seamlessly transition into the warmer months with scientifically formulated, thoughtfully curated skincare products for summer.

If there is anything that gives a woman sleepless nights, it is bad skin. Not only does dry skin look rough and patchy, but it can also literally keep you up at night by feeling itchy and irritating.

Fortunately, a good moisturizer is all that you need to put things right. Take for example the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream; it has been formulated by Vine Vera to answer all of your dry skin concerns.

A high-end product like the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream by Vine Vera is the golden goose you should never underestimate. This product includes just about every ingredient that you could need for skin that feels supple and replenished. 

Let’s take a look at the key ingredients your moisturizer should have. You’ll find them all in the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream, as well as in several other Vine Vera products. 

Vitamin E

Any skin product that has Vitamin E compound in it will expressly give you glowing, healthy-looking skin. Most high-end products, just like the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream by Vine Vera, are packed with this antioxidant.

Check out the Vine Vera Malbec DNA Collection for even more vitamin E goodness.

Hyaluronic Acid

This is yet another wonder-working humectant. You will love the instant effect it will have on your dehydrated skin. Dehydration of the skin happens when skin cells don’t have enough water and you don’t use a good moisturizer.

Hyaluronic acid counters this almost immediately. It draws in moisture from the environment and holds onto it, giving your skin an instant plumper look.

Make the most of hyaluronic acid by also adding it to your eye care routine with the Vine Vera Cabernet 60 Second Eye Solution.

Aloe Vera

This superhero has been around for centuries doing what it does best. Answering all your skin problems. Aloe vera will soothe and pamper the feel of your damaged skin back to perfection.

Many products on the market, including the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream, are packed with aloe vera gel specifically to moisturize dry skin. This is why aloe vera is also one of the star ingredients in Vine Vera’s Chianti Collection. 

Resveratrol

If your skin is dry and mature, a product that contains resveratrol is the ultimate answer for you. This ingredient is great for reducing the appearance of skin aging.

Let Vine Vera explain why this ingredient is a buzz of activity right now, and why it’s one of the star ingredients that you’ll find in every Vine Vera product…

Not only does it minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, but it also leaves the skin looking plump, tight, and beautifully healthy.

Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is dry skin’s best friend, but, then again, you shouldn’t use it alone for hydration. This humectant is an exfoliant in nature. This makes it an excellent candidate for removing dead skin while still moisturizing your skin.

According to the Mayo Clinic, lactic acid and other emollients are extremely beneficial in a moisturizer. They help the outer part of the skin retain water thus keeping it hydrated. However, there is more to this multitasking ingredient. Any moisturizing cream with lactic acid will lighten and even out the appearance of your skin tone. 

Ceramides

Ceramides are the rage in the cosmetic industry right now. It is like a new goldmine is up for grabs and everybody is scrambling to get a share of it. This fatty acid makes up 50% of your outer skin, can you believe that? You probably won’t until you hear more.

Ceramides are all about keeping the skin feeling moisturized. Use them regularly and your skin will look softer and smoother.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is a known secret among cosmetics manufacturers. It has become a must-have ingredient over the years because of how it reduces the look of inflammation and plumps up the appearance of the skin.

Now for the other part of the story. The reason why Vine Vera has included shea butter in the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream is because of its high concentration of fatty acids. Shea butter also contains powerful vitamins that leave the skin feeling smoothed and conditioned.

While the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream is designed for the face, this doesn’t mean that your body needs to miss out on that shea butter goodness. Treat it to the Intensive Shea Body Butter from Vine Vera and watch it glow!

Petrolatum

Petrolatum may sound scary, but it actually does a terrific job of keeping dry and flaky skin feeling moisturized.

If you have combination skin, then avoid applying this ingredient to oily areas. It can be comedogenic, meaning that it could trigger breakouts on those parts of your face. 

Glycerin

A humectant is a property that pulls water to your skin, just like hyaluronic acid. However, glycerin has also been the holy grail in the beauty industry for its moisture-binding properties.

It’s one that those with dry skin should definitely seek out. In addition to the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream, you’ll also find glycerin in the Vine Vera Body Cream. After all, your body needs some TLC too!

3 Components Your Moisturizer Should Contain

While individual ingredients are important to understand, there are also certain ingredient groups that you should be looking out for in a moisturizer. Those with oily skin don’t need all three, but those with dry skin definitely do:

Humectants

Humectants are hydrogen bonds that connect and draw water to themselves. They are used in lotions, creams, and other beauty products to attract and preserve moisture in your skin. The main purpose of a humectant is to draw water from the air through your epidermis right to the deepest parts of your skin.

Emollients

An emollient is an ingredient in your beauty product that is responsible for soothing and softening the feel of your skin. They do this by increasing the moisture level of your skin. Emollients are designed to work in just the way the sebum of your skin does.

Severely damaged skin is cracked from the epidermis and it requires a strong property for healing. An emollient–based skincare product will fill in the appearance of those cracks and lock moisture deep in the skin. 

Occlusives

Occlusives are moisturizing agents found in your skincare products. They form a layer on the surface of your skin to prevent any harm from foreign properties. They also act as a barrier against moisture loss. A good moisturizer should contain one or more occlusives to make it beneficial to your skin.

5 Main Causes of Dry Skin

When you are a self-conscious woman, you realize that skin problems can seem endless, especially when you have dry skin. However, if you invest in good credible products, like the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream by Vine Vera, things might work better for you. But, even with that, you first need to get to the root cause of the chaos on your skin. Here are some of the major culprits for your perpetual dry skin:

Hereditary Genes

The first thing you need to rule out when finding the root cause of your skin dryness is the hereditary genes. The skin issues some of us are nursing were probably passed down by our great grandmothers. A study indicates that mutations in hereditary genes are responsible for severely dry skin problems.

If you are prone to dry skin, you are likely to have severe skin issues such as acne, eczema, dermatitis among other stubborn problems. Now back to the drawing board. Once you have established that your dry skin problems are a result of hereditary genes, look for a good moisturizer that soothes and treats your skin problems.

Harsh Products and Soaps

Washing your skin with severe soap products can result in severe skin problems such as dry skin. Avoid using regular bar soap and detergents that are designed for other purposes such as cleaning utensils and clothes. They are packed with harsh ingredients meant for removing dirt and tough stains.

Go for products specially designed to condition the feel of the skin as they cleanse. The Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Cleanser is a great example! 

Fragrance

We all love to look good and smell nice at the same time. However, most fragrances are the perpetual enemy to your skin. Especially the alcohol-based. It can dry up your skin and cause serious problems such as acne and eczema. Dry skin is allergic to so many things and you just need to be careful with what comes into contact with it.

When purchasing a skincare product, make it a habit to read the leaflets or the label. Always pick a fragrance-free product. However, if you just can’t get over fragrances, ensure that your product contains botanical oils. These oils have safe natural fragrances and are gentle on the skin.

Long, Hot Showers

If you have dry skin, cut back on those long and hot showers. For the good of your skin and to maintain that glow, opt for warm or cool water and minimize the time you stand under the shower. Hot water strips the skin of its natural oils, leaving it parched.

Aging

If you have had good skin all through your youthful years and suddenly your skin is acting up, that is a sign of age finally catching up. Fortunately, there are good products that work well to bring back youthfully smooth and supple skin even in your sunset years. Take for example the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream by Vine Vera. You should also look into some of the other collections on the Vine Vera website. 

Conclusion

If you haven’t been giving your skin the pampering it deserves, it is time to begin. Dry skin has never been easy on anyone. Trying a new product is always like walking on eggshells. You introduce a new product; a carnage of issues ensue. Fortunately, you won’t experience that with the Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream from Vine Vera. Shop the cream here and watch the appearance of that dryness and flakiness disappear!
