No need to wine about aging skin.
A new study found that a specific and unusual type of red wine can make a person’s skin look younger.
Researchers at the University of Florida found that women who drank two glasses of nonalcoholic muscadine wine daily had greater elasticity and water retention in their skin than those who consumed a placebo.
“We used dealcoholized muscadine wine because we were interested in the effect of the bioactive compounds in wine, specifically the polyphenols, on skin health,” said Lindsey Christman, Ph.D., who conducted the research with Liwei Gu, Ph.D., professor of food chemistry at UF, in a media release.
A loss of elasticity is what causes the skin to begin to sag in the aging process, while water retention helps to provide a barrier against damage.
The study is the first to determine the way nonalcoholic wine consumption can affect skin health in a randomized clinical trial.
