Champagne is the ultimate name in luxury celebration but it can also be the supreme ingredient that makes you look radiant. Here are a few DIY champagne facial masks that can give you the instant glow you desire for this wedding season! By Prachi S Vaish
Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies and India’s finest Aromatherapist, reveals the treasures of champagne in skin care. “Champagne contains antioxidants, components that prevent the free radicals from damaging our cells. These free radicals can react extensively to rob our skin of oxygen, making it look haggard. But an antioxidant prevents the damage and lends our skin an eternal youthfulness. Champagne, an apt antioxidant, contains Tartaric acid, which lightens your skin, i.e., prevents pigmentation and helps in detoxifying. A Champagne Facial rejuvenates the skin, helps close pores, makes the skin tight, removes fine lines and smoothens the overall texture of the skin, providing a glow. It is a good toner but leaves the skin dry, so it works well for oily skin. However, people with dry skin should consult a beauty specialist before using a Champagne Facial.”
When it comes to making a mark, no amount of pampering can be too much. It’s all worth it when people walk up to you to tell you that you look as radiant as the bride. So open up a bottle and try these tricks in the comfort of your home…
Clay-champagne mask
What you’ll need: ¼th cup champagne, 4 tbsp multani clay, 2tbsp cream, mixing bowl
Method: Evenly mix the clay with the cream by folding in a little clay at a time, till there are no lumps. Add the champagne and give it a good mix but not too much. Apply on your face avoiding the eyes and mouth, before it starts to dry up in the bowl. Leave on for 15-20 minutes then wipe away with a damp cloth. Give a final rinse with warm water. Do not apply anything afterwards.
Grape-champagne cleanser
What you’ll need: ½ cup champagne, a handful of black grapes (seedless variety), green tea bag
Method: Soak the green tea bag in half a cup of hot water till the tea is released, and then allow to cool. Crush grapes and squelch them through a strainer to get the smooth pulp. Mix the green tea, champagne and grape extract to form a smooth blend. Apply over face, leave for 10 minutes and rinse off. The grapes will smooth out all the lines on your face while green tea cleans the pores, and the champagne will hydrate your skin making it soft and supple.
Champagne makeup remover
Champagne is such a good detoxifying and cleansing ingredient that most of the time it doesn’t need anything else with it. After a long day of heavy makeup, just use some baby cream on a cotton ball to wipe off the make-up and grime and then soak a cotton ball in champagne and run it all over your face and neck. You will feel your skin immediately perk up and refreshed!
Every girl knows a relaxing luxurious drink at the end of the day is the perfect way to unwind but if you can use it to get that dazzling glow- it really is the final word in luxury! So grab a bottle of your favorite bubbly and let your skin drink up too!
