Youthful skin with wine therapy

FROM reducing heart disease to decreasing the risk of kidney stones, doctors often attribute a moderate amount of red wine to many beneficial health effects. Now, an exclusive line of wine-based cosmetics promotes more youthful and beautiful skin. These treatments use the 'Enologist' series of wine therapy developed in Hokkaido. First discovered by renowned Japanese sommelier Makoto Abe, together with the research team at Tokyo University of Science, these organic products have been scientifically proven to reduce the signs of ageing. They include cleansing oil, masque, and essential massage oil made from grapeseed extract, which is regarded as nature's most powerful anti-oxidant with a high content of Vitamin C. The main ingredients are wine dregs leftover from the mashed grapes during the winemaking process, which contain proanthocyanidin, a natural antioxidant, and ELGS complexes, high-nutrient by-products such as grape flesh, grape seed oil, grape juice, grape leaf extracts, glucoses, and tartaric acid. Thermes Marins Bali is the only spa in Southeast Asia to offer this innovative 'Wine Therapy', including a 75-minute Wine Body Treatment ($90++ per person, shown) and a 45-minute Wine Facial ($80++ per person), using grapeseed products to restore suppleness, enhance circulation and eliminate toxins.
