When we first heard about vinotherapy we couldn't help thinking of sipping a fine glass of wine with your legs kicked up on the table listening to relaxing music in the calm ambiance of your living room after a hard day. However, spa experts have gone a step further and are offering spa treatments boasting the health benefits of wine by-products. Want to know why?


Vinotherapy is the newest spa trend, which uses wine by-products, such as grape seeds, skin and stems to heal and rejuvenate the body. Scientific research has proven that grape seeds, skin and stems are rich in phytophenols and resveratrol. Polyphenols from the grape seeds are a type of flavonoid with potent antioxidant abilities that protect the body from free radicals, while resveratrol slows the aging process, spurs new cell growth and firms up skin.

The most interesting effects of vinotherapy are the stimulation of collagen synthesis while supporting capillary health. The wine by-products are also known to soothe the skin and promote anti-inflammation. Vinotherapy can accelerate would healing and even stimulate new cell growth.

All about hair!

We  style it, curl it, straighten it, dye it, but how do we take care of it. We're talking about hair, of course! This week we're giving you a few pointers on how to nurture it with a few items you might have in your pantry. Are you ready?

Make it shine!

Get some egg whites for protein and coconut oil for moisture. Mix together in a bowl and heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Apply to damp hair for at least 15 minutes and then shampoo out and get ready to shine!

Get it thick!

Because pumpkin is packed full of potassium, it is a great source for promoting hair regrowth. It’s also rich in vitamin A which is great for the scalp. Are you taking notes? Here we go:

Ingredients:

· 2 cups pumpkin (chopped and cooked)

· 1 tablespoon coconut oil

· 1 tablespoon honey

· 1 tablespoon yogurt

Directions

In a food processor or blender, puree the pumpkin and yogurt. Next, add the coconut oil and honey ensuring that the mixture is smooth. Apply the mixture to damp hair. Cover hair with a plastic cap, and let it sit for fifteen minutes. Wash out thoroughly using your everyday shampoo and conditioner, and style as usual.

Don't forget to leave us your comments or other ideas for hair masks below!
