What’s So Special About the Vine Vera Eye Serum?

Vine Vera eye serum

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.

The Resveratrol Merlot Nourishing Night Cream

Vine Vera Merlot Collection Day Cream and 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.

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.

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 

Vine Vera Merlot Collection 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

Vine Vera Merlot Collection Facial 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. 

Vine Vera Merlot Collection Cream

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!

The 5 Skincare Products You Need This Summer

Vine Vera skincare products for summer

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

Shelf of Vine Vera 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

Vine Vera 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

Vine Vera Cabernet 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

Vine Vera Pinot Noir 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

Vine Vera masks

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

Vine Vera SPF cream

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:

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.

9 Must-Try Skincare Ingredients for Dry Skin

Woman applying face cream

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

Vine Vera Cabernet Collection Moisture Day Cream

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

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 in bowls and spoon

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

Woman with hand in face cream jar

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 emollientbased 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

Woman looking at skin in mirror

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!

Can Resveratrol Really Reduce the Appearance of Skin Aging?

Vine Vera product

What if we told you that Vine Vera has found the magical ingredient that can reduce the visible signs of aging?

Resveratrol, a chemical compound found in the skins and peels of grapes and berries, and even red wine might be your best bet in keeping the appearance of pesky wrinkles and crow’s feet at bay.

What is Resveratrol?

red grapes

It’s not as simple as downing a bottle of merlot with your dinner; resveratrol is a polyphenol, a type of chemical compound with antioxidant properties.

Resveratrol-infused skincare makes an excellent addition to your nightly skin-restoring routine because our skin rejuvenates itself when we sleep.

That’s why Vine Vera, a skincare brand committed to delivering products that will transform the look of your skin, offers the very best of resveratrol-based skincare that you can add to your facial regimen.

Vine Vera resveratrol skincare boasts a potent cocktail of effective ingredients to help you achieve that glowing, youthful finish you have been vying for.

Why Resveratrol?

So, how does resveratrol affect your skin, and why do dermatologists love this ingredient?

There are numerous benefits of resveratrol for the skin:

  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
  • Reduces the look of redness
  • Keeps skin feeling hydrated

Reducing the Appearance of Wrinkles

Woman with eye cream

The leading cause of aging is ultraviolet (UV) damage to the skin, so using skincare that contains resveratrol can help your skin look and feel more youthful.

That’s why with the long-term usage of Vine Vera resveratrol skincare, you can be sure that you’ll achieve those #SkinGoals in no time!

Reduces the Look of Redness

Skin redness might be a sign of skin irritation, making it essential to incorporate skincare with calming ingredients into your routine.

Studies have demonstrated that resveratrol is able to reduce the look of inflammation in the skin, calming the appearance of redness.

Dubbed as the ‘longevity molecule’, it also improves the overall radiance of your skin.

Banking on this skin-loving ingredient, Vine Vera resveratrol skincare can do wonders for your complexion.

Leaves the Skin Feeling Hydrated

Resveratrol has been shown to give the skin a hydrated feeling, reducing the look of dryness. 

Keeping your skin hydrated is a crucial part of skincare.

Why? Because a lack of moisture weakens the skin’s lipid barrier. This makes it easier for irritants and microbes to penetrate.

Besides combatting dullness, having well-moisturized skin can also give you skin that looks and feels more elastic.

Vine Vera Resveratrol Skincare

A brand that stands firmly behind its cruelty-free policy, Vine Vera uses resveratrol in every product, on top of other beneficial ingredients, to give your skin that extra boost.

Our products use only the best and most luxurious ingredients to diminish the visible signs of aging.

Vine Vera resveratrol skincare products are worth the splurge. From eye care to serums, face masks, and exfoliators, you’ll find the perfect formula your skin needs!

Vine Vera’s Body Cream makes skin radiance very easy to achieve. This deeply moisturizing formula is chock-full of humectants that’ll leave your skin feeling soft to the touch.

The main ingredient in this body cream is glycerin, a humectant. 

Studies have proved that glycerin is ‘the most effective humectant’ because of its moisture-binding properties.

Combat the Appearance of Aging with the Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum 

Vine Vera serum

Named after the ruby red wine, this Vine Vera resveratrol skin care product is a lush serum that will make a massive difference in your routine.

In addition to resveratrol, it contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C), peptides, and sodium hyaluronate to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

8 Things You Need to Know About Vine Vera’s 60 Second Eye Solution

Vine Vera eye solution

Have you been eyeing up the Vine Vera Eye Solution but can’t decide whether or not it’s worth the splurge?

Here at Vine Vera, we believe that the skin is something worth investing in. We also believe that everybody should be making an educated and informed choice when it comes to the products that they apply to their skin. So, to help you with your decision, here are 8 things that you should know about the Vine Vera Cabernet 60 Second Eye Solution before you buy it.

The Vine Vera Eye Solution Produces Instant Results

Woman looking at skin in mirror

There aren’t many topical, non-invasive products out there that are able to produce instant results, which is what often first appeals to people about the Vine Vera 60 Second Eye Solution. That’s right, you’ll notice results pretty much immediately after using the product.

What exactly are these instant results?

The 60 Second Eye Solution primarily targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Whether you’ve got a few light creases appearing around your eyes or your crow’s feet are looking deeper by the day, this formula will leave your skin looking smooth and wrinkle-free.

Sounds good, right? It gets even better…

The way in which the Vine Vera Eye Solution gives the skin a smoother finish also means that any puffiness under your eyes becomes much less visible.

You’re probably now wondering how this product actually works. Fair question – if you’ve already tried it, then you’ll know that it seems a bit like magic!

It all comes down to its unique formula. If you take a look at the ingredient list, it isn’t long. We haven’t stuffed this product with unnecessary fillers. Instead, the ingredients that it does contain are among the most powerful in the industry…

Its Formula Contains a Peptide That Immediately Smooths the Look of the Skin

Have you heard of Acetyl Hexpeptide-8? Or how about Argireline?

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide that relaxes the feel of the skin to smooth away the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Regular Use of the Vine Vera Eye Solution Has Long-Term Benefits

Vine Vera products

Although the instant effects of this formula are temporary, regular use of the product means that you’ll soon be seeing your results sticking around in the long run.

How?

Again, it all comes down to the ingredients used…

The peptides, collagen, and resveratrol used in this formula work together to slowly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Over time, they’ll give your skin a firmer and tighter look.

The Eye Solution Makes Use of Sodium Hyaluronate Instead of Hyaluronic Acid

You’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid before. If you haven’t, don’t be scared. Just because this ingredient contains the word “acid” doesn’t mean that it’s dangerous in any way. In fact, hyaluronic acid is a substance that the human body naturally produces. It helps to keep our joints, eyes, and skin lubricated and hydrated. 

So, why’s everyone been talking about this ingredient?

Well, the body ages, the amount of hyaluronic acid it produces declines. This is one reason why the skin loses its plump and radiant look as it grows older.

Topically applying hyaluronic acid to your skin helps to change this. With each application, your skin will pretty much immediately take on a plumper, smoother, and brighter appearance, making it no surprise that it’s become so popular in skincare.

Wondering why we’re talking about hyaluronic acid when the Vine Vera Eye Solution doesn’t contain it?

That’s because the Eye Solution contains sodium hyaluronate instead. Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid. This means that the size of its molecules are much smaller, which allows it to penetrate deeper into your skin.

Does this mean that sodium hyaluronate is better than hyaluronic acid?

In some ways, yes. They both have the same effects when it comes to plumping and hydrating the appearance of the skin. The difference lies in the fact that hyaluronic acid targets the surface layer of your skin. On the other hand, sodium hyaluronate targets the deeper layers.

The Vine Vera Eye Solution contains sodium hyaluronate for how it can both instantly plump the look of the skin and effectively moisturize it too.

The Vine Vera Eye Solution Formula Doesn’t Contain Any Harmful Ingredients

Grapes

If you take a look at the ingredient lists on the majority of the skincare products you use, chances are that these are several lines long. Sometimes, this is necessary. Here at Vine Vera, we have a few products that are packed with a long list of botanical extracts, such as the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto-Silk Mask.

However, a long ingredient list filled with names that you’ve never heard of doesn’t exactly instill confidence in a product. Plus, it then takes a lot of online searching to make sure that you’re not putting anything harmful on your skin!

Fortunately, this isn’t a problem with the Vine Vera 60 Second Eye Solution. The ingredient list isn’t too long. Most of the names on there are recognizable, meaning that you immediately know that they’re safe.

The ingredients that you may not have heard of before are as follows:

  • Sodium Silicate – this salt helps to stabilize the pH level of the eye solution, which keeps all of the other ingredients within working well
  • Magnesium Aluminum Silicate – this ingredient acts as a thickener, making it vital when it comes to achieving optimal product consistency for maximum skin penetration
  • Mica – a natural mineral that leaves the skin with an instant glow
  • Titanium dioxide and iron oxide – both of these ingredients are natural minerals that brighten the look of the skin

The Innovative Applicator Means That a Little Goes a Long Way

When it comes to skincare formulas containing powerful ingredients, it’s always best to minimize the amount of time it takes for that product to travel from its jar to your skin.

Chances are, you usually apply a product onto your fingertips first. You then use your fingertips to apply that product to your skin.

While this may be the most common application method for skincare products, it does also mean that the formula’s active ingredients will start to penetrate into the skin on your fingers, before it actually reaches your face. As you can imagine, this then leads to that product not working as well as it otherwise might have done.

The Vine Vera Eye Solution has found a way around that. Its unique packaging comes with an applicator that you can use to apply the eye solution directly to the skin around your eyes, skipping the fingertip stage in the middle.

This then allows your skin to gain maximum benefits from all of the ingredients in the eye solution, meaning that you won’t need to use quite so much of it to reach your skincare goals. The fact that the product only needs to be used weekly also means that it will last for a while. Of course, you could always just save it for special occasions. However, as mentioned above, regular use means long-term benefits!

The Vine Vera Eye Solution Has Not Been Tested on Animals

Botanicals in lab

In this day and age, cosmetic products really don’t need to be tested on animals. Science has come such a long way over the years, and there are now so many methods for testing how safe a product is that do not include animal exploitation.

Although many countries haven’t banned animal testing, those that are against the act choose to boycott brands that continue on with this unnecessarily.

As you can tell, animal testing is definitely not something that Vine Vera partakes in. We are able to guarantee the safety of our products, including our Eye Solution, without testing them on animals, and this is something that our customers really do appreciate.

The Vine Vera Eye Solution Packaging is Recyclable

Sustainability is huge these days. While it may be nothing more than a buzzword to some brands, here at Vine Vera we try to keep things as eco-friendly and as sustainable as possible.

A while ago, we took the necessary steps to ensure that all of our product packaging is recyclable. This applies to the Vine Vera 60 Second Eye Solution too, so be sure to recycle your packaging once you’re done with the product!

Ready to Transform Your Skin?

There’s nothing better than a skincare product that can produce instant results, which is why the Vine Vera 60 Second Eye Solution has been such a hit. If you want to give this product a try, it can be purchased directly from the Vine Vera website. Shipping within the USA is free of charge, but we also ship to countries all over the world for a flat rate – this means that you can shop to your heart’s desire, without having to worry about a sky-high shipping fee.

If you have any questions about the Eye Solution, feel free to get in touch with us by either leaving a comment on this blog post or sending us a message through social media.

How to Find the Perfect Night Cream for Your Skin

Woman looking at skincare cream

Need a new night cream?

The search for the perfect product can sometimes seem next-to-impossible, but, today, you’re in luck. This Vine Vera guide explains everything that you need to know when looking for a new night cream. 

Can You Use a Day Cream at Night?

woman holding skin cream

Now to quickly address this commonly-asked question: can’t a day cream be used at night too, instead of a dedicated night cream?

Yes, definitely. There’s nothing wrong with using a day cream at night, and this is far better than not using any cream at all.

However, night cream formulas are different from day creams. They are designed to support how your skin cells function at night, which is very different from how they function during the day.

Day Creams vs Night Creams

During the day, your skin has so much environmental stress to deal with. UV radiation, pollution, chemicals…the list goes on. For this reason, your skin really puts up its defences during the day. It spends most of its resources (ie. nutrients, water, energy, and more) on protecting itself. Day creams usually contain protective ingredients to help with this.

On the other hand, once you go to sleep at night, your skin can then focus on healing and repairing damage, creating new skin cells, building collagen and elastin fibers, and so much more. Again, night creams are formulated to support these functions. They contain restorative and strengthening ingredients, which your skin cells will be able to put to immediate use.

So, when it comes down to it, so long as the cream that you’re using contains the ingredients that your skin needs at night, then it’s likely to be a great choice! 

Here are a couple of moisturizers that work well for both day and night:

Resveratrol Vitamin C Moisturizer

Vitamin C is an ingredient that pretty much everybody would benefit from using, making this moisturizer a must-have in your skin care routine, no matter your skin type. Vitamin C is a powerful ingredient that’ll leave skin feeling bright and fortified, while the other botanicals in this cream work to improve the look of skin tone and texture.

Resveratrol Shiraz Instentic Facelift

This silky moisturizer is wonderfully non-greasy, making it a great for those with normal and oily skin types. Its active ingredients include DMAE, which gives the skin a tighter appearance, along with resveratrol, which brightens the look of the skin.

Know Your Skin Type

Woman looking at skin in mirror

Before even starting to look at the various night creams out there, you need to know what your skin type is.

Why?

Because the night cream that you use needs to be formulated for your skin type in order for it to provide maximum benefits.

How to Identify Your Skin Type

Not quite sure what your skin type is?

Have a read through the following to see which skin type your skin most resembles:

  • Dry Skin – Feels rough and flaky. Sometimes itchy, easily irritated, and can often feel tight. Look for products that contain humectants, such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, as well as plant butters and oils
  • Oily Skin – Looks and feels greasy. Prone to acne breakouts. Look for products containing salicylic acid, witch hazel, and retinol. Non-comedogenic oils, such as jojoba oil, can be useful too
  • Combination Skin – A mixture of oily and dry. The oiliness most commonly affects the T-zone, while the dryness affects the cheeks. You’ll need two sets of products, one to target each area of your face
  • Normal Skin – Skin that is perfectly balanced, without any of the above issues. Feel free to experiment with the many exciting skin care products out there!
  • Sensitive Skin – Skin that is prone to redness and irritation. You’ll need ingredients that feel soothing and gentle, such as calendula extract, chamomile extract, and plant butters. Avoid anything heavily fragranced, as fragrances are a big culprit when it comes to triggering skin sensitivities

Keep in mind that your skin type can change, both because of age as well as with the seasons. This means that you’ll need to keep reassessing your skin type in order to ensure that your night cream is always suitable.

One great moisturizer for all skin types is the Resveratrol Malbec DNA Redefying Cream. With its variety of different plant oils and butters, as well as the moisture-binding properties of seaweed extract, this lush moisturizer would be the perfect addition to your skin care routine if you’ve got dry skin. 

Identify Specific Skin Concerns

Woman looking at skin in mirror

Now that we’ve gotten the basics out of the way, it’s time to have a think about the specific skin concerns that you want your night cream to address.

The time during which you are asleep is when your skin works to regenerate and heal itself, making this a great time to use supportive products.

Has your list of skin concerns gotten pretty long?

While there are plenty of night creams out there that promise to multi-task, it’s best looking for one that focuses on one or two specific issues. This way, all of the ingredients within it will be geared towards those specific skin concerns, meaning better results.

So, identify the biggest skin concern that you want to target, along with one or two others. Some of the most common are:

  • The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin that feels rough
  • Visible dark spots
  • Dull and uneven-looking skin

If you’re looking for an effective moisturizer, try the Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Night Cream. This is a night cream designed to tackle the visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. It’s a formula that’s well-suited to dry skin, and is also gentle enough for some sensitive skin types to use without any problems.

While it’s important to focus on your face, don’t forget about your neck and your chest either. These areas age just as quickly as the face, meaning that they need just as much TLC. In addition to using a night cream on your face, try this decadent formula for your neck and chest to keep this part of your body looking smooth, tight, and youthful.

Understand Ingredients

If you’ve come this far, then by now you should know your skin type and have identified the skin concerns you’re looking to treat.

You are now armed with enough information to start your night cream search.

Most skin care websites make it pretty easy to filter out products by skin type and skin concern. However, just because a product’s description promises to target specific issues, this doesn’t mean that you should immediately believe it.

Marketing is a clever thing, and it’s easy to be persuaded and misled by strategically-used words.

Of course, product samples can be useful at this stage. However, many products, especially those that are triggering changes in the deeper layers of your skin, will take a couple of weeks, if not months, to really make a difference. A sample sized product definitely won’t last that long!

So, how do you know if a product is really going to do what its packaging says it does?

That’s simple – take a look at the ingredient list.

Learning How to Read a Skincare Ingredient List

Woman looking at skincare products

All good skincare products will have an ingredient list. If the one you’re considering doesn’t, then steer clear.

However, for those who are new to the world of skin care, that long list of scientific names, many of which may look impossible to pronounce, can seem overwhelming.

Don’t worry – while it may take a bit of time, learning how to read an ingredient list will make you a much smarter skin care shopper in the future.

To start with, look at the order of the ingredients. This will reflect how much of each ingredient has been used in that product. The first ingredient on the list is the one that the majority of the product is made up of, while the last ingredient on the list has been used in very small amounts.

Now, when it comes to the individual ingredients on that list, this is going to require a little research on your part. You want to make sure that the ingredients used are suitable for your skin type, while also being capable of treating your skin concerns. While you don’t need to look up every single ingredient on that list, the first five to ten are the most important.

Ethical and Environmental Values

If ethics and the environment matter to you, then it’s important to make sure that the skin care brands that you use align to these values too. After all, you don’t want to be supporting a business that’s completely opposite something that you strongly believe in.

Animal Testing

One subject that really matters to many is animal testing. While there may not have been much of an alternative to this back in the day, scientific advancements mean that there really is no need to test cosmetic products on animals now.

Here at Vine Vera, animal testing is something that we are very strongly opposed to. We would never test any of our products on animals.

Harmful Preservatives

Preservatives are always going to be a necessity in skin care products. However, while preservatives may have gotten a bad rep over the years, they’re not all bad.

That being said, any brand that does use damaging preservatives is one that you should question. Take parabens as an example. This group of preservatives has been strongly linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues. They have also been found in the bodies of marine animals, showing devastating environmental effects.

For this reason, you won’t find any parabens in Vine Vera skincare products.

Sustainability

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to people. Make sure that your chosen skin care brand holds up to sustainability standards. Packaging should be easily recyclable, and any botanical ingredients used should be sustainable to grow and harvest.

Set a Budget

Woman with credit card and laptop

When it comes to the many different skin care products out there, there are some that are worth investing in more than others, and a night cream is one of them.

A good night cream will truly look after your skin while you sleep, allowing you to wake up to complexion that looks perfectly healthy. This is a product that is worth spending a little extra on, even if this means that you need to cut your budget back in other areas of your skin care routine.

Plus, now that you understand how to find the perfect night cream, chances are that you won’t be willing to settle for anything less, even if that means spending a little bit more!

Found a night cream that you really cannot afford?

Be patient – you may find that it is put on sale in the near future. Signing up for that brand’s newsletter can help to ensure that you’re in-the-know when new sales are available.

It’s Time to Find the Perfect Night Cream!

Is Your Oily Skin Dehydrated?

Woman looking at skin in mirror

Many people believe that if you have oily skin, it couldn’t possibly get dehydrated. Right?

Wrong.

With the changing of the seasons and with the influence of different factors, many people suffer from skin dehydration, whether they have normal, dry, oily skin, or a combination of the three.

The struggle with this skin condition is real, and in order to achieve well-hydrated skin, you have to first understand your skin type and its condition, and take effective steps towards solving the problem. Don’t worry if this sounds confusing – Vine Vera is here to help! Read on to learn more…

How to Deal with Oily Dehydrated Skin

We’ll explain more about how to pinpoint whether your skin is oily and dehydrated further down. However, if you already know that you’re in this boat, here’s what you can do about it:

Use a Mild Cleanser

When we say mild cleanser, we mean a cleanser that is devoid of all the heavy, harmful chemicals. Until your skin restores its water, try to use a gentle cleanser, such as the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Cleanser

And, don’t forget, the water with which you clean your face mustn’t be too hot, or too cold, it needs to be just right, or in this case, lukewarm.

Use a Serum

If you add a serum that specifically targets dehydration to your skin routine, you are increasing your chances of solving the problem faster. Unlike moisturizers, a serum penetrates the skin faster due to its smaller molecules, and helps your skin better retain water. If you don’t yet have a go-to serum, give the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum a try! 

Moisturize

Many are fooled by thinking that if they have oily skin, they mustn’t moisturize. However, moisturizing helps our skin retain moisture more effectively. Be sure to look for a good moisturizer that is made for oily skin. That way, you will regulate that shiny finish, while also hydrating your skin.

One good example would be the Vine Vera Resveratrol Chianti Morning Recovery. Not only does it contain plenty of moisturizing ingredients, but it’s also formulated with licorice root extract, which leaves skin looking brighter.

Don’t Forget About Sun Protection

The sun will only worsen both your oiliness and your dehydration, making sun protection a must. While a dedicated sunscreen is great, it can sometimes be more convenient to use a moisturizer that already contains SPF. This way, each time you reapply it, you’ll also be hydrating your skin a little bit more.

SPF30 is the way to go, such as with the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF30. This moisturizer/sunscreen doesn’t contain any pore-clogging ingredients, yet it’s still incredibly hydrating. This makes it a great choice for those with oily and dehydrated skin.

How Many Skin Types Are There and Which One is Mine?

In order to determine which type your skin belongs to, you need to observe several factors – how much water there is in your skin, how oily it is and how sensitive it is. The water in the skin determines how elastic your skin is going to be, and the oil its softness.

Although we would all like to have the normal skin type and be devoid of all the troubles that go with for example, dry or oily skin, not many are fortunate enough. Yes, normal skin is not an attribute of the majority, whereas oily and dry skin is.

But let’s first go back a notch and see what skin type you actually are.

Normal Skin Type

The main feature of this skin type could be described in the same way Goldilocks describes the beds in the bears’ house: not too soft, not too hard, but just right.

Indeed, if you have a normal skin type, you certainly have a perfect balance of softness and firmness, and oiliness and dryness. You show no or little sensitivity to outer or inner irritants, and have a radiant complexion with barely visible pores.

Oh, how we envy you!

Dry Skin Type

Having dry skin could be painful most of the time, because the dryness of the skin affects its elasticity. Namely, if you have dry skin, you are more likely to have significantly less elasticity which can, more often than not, cause very painful skin breakage.

The complexion of people with dry skin usually feels dull and rough. The skin is covered with red patches, especially in the winter month, when every type of skin is especially prone to get drier. This part of the year is particularly problematic and painful for the people with dry skin.

The other factors that usually make matters worse are: genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, UV rays, long hot baths and some ingredients in the products you use on your skin, which can cause your skin to show signs of irritation.

Unfortunately, due to your skin losing its elasticity, you are more likely to have visible lines and other signs of aging.

In order to solve these problems, you have to help your skin stay hydrated. Rich skincare products that are designed for dry skin are what you need, such as the Resveratrol Pinot Noir Longevity Cream from Vine Vera. 

Oily Skin Type

If you are asking yourself who is having a rougher time, people with dry or oily skin, the answer is – everybody! Each side has its own problems.

The main features oily skin are enlarged pores, dull complexion or an overly shiny one, blackheads and other skin blemishes. Oily skin is more prone to acne breakouts. The reason for this lies in the fact that oily skin produces extra sebum which is clogging the pores, and causing inflammations.

The level of “oiliness” of your skin can change during time, and can be a consequence of many different factors: puberty, stress, hormonal changes, too much humidity, or a wrong product you are applying on your skin.

In order to look after your oily skin, you need to wash it regularly, exfoliate at least once a week, and, for crying out loud, don’t ever squeeze the pimples, because if you do, it will take you forever to heal.

We should always look on the brighter side, though. Oily skin is less likely to get wrinkles.

Combination Skin Type

This type of skin has all of the features of all the different skin types. One part of the skin can be normal, the other part oily and the other one extremely dry.

People with combination skin usually have problems with their T-zone (nose, forehead and chin).

Unfortunately, the range of problems one might have with this type of skin is very wide. You could have enlarged pores and acne breakout on one hand, and skin breakage on the other.

The proper way of treating this type of skin includes different types of products and individual treatment for different zones.

Skin Condition vs. Skin Type

Woman looking at skin in mirror

Now that we have explained the difference between different skin types, we hope that you have managed to determine which one is yours.

When we talk about skin, it is important to make a difference between your skin type and the skin condition you might have.

Skin type includes the general features your skin has, whereas skin condition is something you might get due to different external and internal factors, and it is usually of temporary nature.

The external factors that cause the appearance of a certain skin condition include: poor nutrition, climate, exposure to outer irritants and your skincare routine. On the other hand, internal factors include the fluctuation of hormonal levels, stress levels and natural aging process.

There are five basic types of skin conditions and those include aging skin, dehydrated skin, sensitive skin, skin pigmentation and blemish prone skin.

Aging Skin

Even though there are other types of skin conditions that are more serious, this one seems to affect us the most. Throughout years, decades, even centuries, emphasis has been put on slowing down the aging process, and making your skin look younger and fresher. That is why it comes as no surprise that most skincare products today are designed to slow down the ageing process.

(If you’re looking for a product that’ll reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, try the Resveratrol Vitamin C Moisturizer from Vine Vera.)

Sensitive Skin

If you easily break out in rashes and if your skin is itchy most of the time, then you are considered to have sensitive skin. Unfortunately, this condition has a number of possible causes ranging from genetic factors to different environmental influences. In order to take care of this condition and relieve yourself of uneasiness and discomfort you might have, it is best to try to avoid the detrimental outside irritants and apply different skincare products.

Skin Pigmentation

Next to aging skin, this is one of the conditions that troubles people the most. Hormonal changes and genetic predisposition are the likeliest reason behind the change, as well as UV radiation which is only making it worse. UV rays cause the overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for the color of your skin. By adding any product that has additional Vitamin A in it, you could find a solution to your problem and get a nice and radiant complexion.

Blemish-Prone Skin

This condition is mostly found with people with oily skin. It occurs when the area around the hair follicles gets congested with oil and dead skin cells. Various factors affect your skin to become blemish-prone – hormonal changes, diet and environment.

Again, salvation could be found in finding a proper cleanser and adopting a proper skincare routine which will clean your skin properly and give it appropriate nourishment.

Dehydrated Skin – Everybody’s Problem

Dull and tired skin is certainly something that nobody wants to have. However, when your skin has problems with keeping the moisture in, it begins to flake and crack. Those are the first signs of your skin lacking moisture.

As it has previously been mentioned, even though there is a misconception that only people with dry skin suffer from dehydration, this is not true. Every type of skin can suffer from dehydration, even the oily one. 

Signs Your Oily Skin is Dehydrated

Think that your oily skin may be dehydrated? Here’s how to know for sure…

The Appearance of Dark Circles and Dullness

When your skin is dehydrated, it loses its radiance.

When this happens, your complexion usually appears very dull. In addition, there is a chance that the dark circles under your eyes become more noticeable.

Your Skin Becomes Itchy and Irritated

Without water to hydrate the barrier layer of your skin, the layer that protects your skin from outer irritants, these irritants are more likely to penetrate the skin and cause damage. Itchiness and irritation are soon to follow as a response to the changes.

Breakouts

As it has been said, when oily skin becomes dehydrated, it generally tries to compensate for the lack of water by overproducing oil. However, this increased amount of sebum is what causes problems to people with oily skin to begin with. It clogs the pores and creates a fertile ground for various bacteria to flourish and cause infections. As a result, acne breakouts appear more intensively.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Even though we have mentioned that the benefit of oily skin is that signs of aging come much later, unfortunately, if you are suffering from dehydrated skin, you are also going to notice the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Dehydration influences both the surface and deeper layers of the skin and, therefore, causes the deeper lines to become more visible. Luckily, their noticeability diminishes significantly once the skin is back to a state of hydration.

Reasons for Dehydration

Outdoor Irritants

If you think only sun rays can draw water out of your skin, you are wrong. There are many environmental factors that cause water shortage in the layers of your skin. Dry wind and air can also cause the water to be released from your skin easily, causing itchiness and irritation.

Poor Diet

Unhealthy food and beverages are the reason behind many health issues and conditions people have today. So, it is not surprising that skin dehydration is one of them. Overconsumption of coffee, alcohol, fast food and sweets can disrupt metabolic processes, and, among other things, it may cause your skin to lose the water it needs to be healthy and fresh-looking.

Hot Showers and Baths

Who would have thought, right? Unfortunately, it is true. When you expose your skin to hot water, it removes the protective oil layer from your skin, which is responsible for retaining water. This way, your skin is more likely to lose the water, making your skin dehydrated.

Inappropriate Skincare Routine

Sometimes, by trying to remove the excess oil from the surface of their skin, people do more harm than good. You might use cleansers that are just too drying and irritating or scrubs that are just too harsh, thinking that you will remove the excess sebum more effectively, but this is only going to have a counter effect.

Skin is a delicate organ, and it needs to be dealt with carefully and mildly.

One more mistake people with oily skin are making is that they are using products which have high amounts of alcohol in them. Alcohol is an extremely drying substance, and causes your skin to lose water fast.

Hopefully, by following the above tips, you’ll be able to keep your oily skin hydrated and enjoy a healthier-looking complexion for years to come!

7 Ingredients That Will Give Your Skin an Instant Glow

Woman applying face serum

Skincare enthusiasts focus on the same old steps when it comes to caring for their complexion. There’s hydration for that glass-like dewiness, exfoliation to brighten the look of the skin, and even clay masking to purify and detoxify the feel of your complexion.

But some people—younger ones especially—forget to look after proper blood circulation, which gives the skin a nice glow. It sounds a bit medical, like it’s not even a cosmetic concern. Many of us often take for granted the fact that good circulation makes our skin look incredible.

It’s the secret to a naturally radiant and rosy flush that makes you glow. It gives your skin a luminosity that not even your favorite moisturizers and exfoliating toners can do!

Here’s the lowdown on good blood circulation and what it actually does for the skin, plus seven powerhouse ingredients that can help you achieve that healthy-looking glow!

 

Why is Good Blood Circulation Important for Our Skin’s Appearance?

Let’s have a quick refresher on a simple high school lesson, shall we? Red blood cells travel all over the body, delivering much-needed oxygen to all the organs to get them to function correctly.

Good blood flow means that your entire body is oxygenated and is working properly. It also means it can eliminate all the waste that can clog up your veins and arteries as it flows.

The Problem with Poor Circulation

Now, in the case of bad blood circulation, your organs aren’t getting all the nutrients they need to function properly. This can cause serious issues, especially if your blood vessels get clogged up with fats and plaque, constricting your blood’s passageway.

An inadequate blood flow can also affect how your skin looks, making it look dull and lifeless since your body doesn’t have enough vitamins and nutrients going around to keep you looking radiant and luminous.

Bad circulation can also cause pigmentation issues leading to an uneven tone. This is because your cells aren’t oxygenated enough to look uniform and color and radiance.

Other issues bad blood circulation can cause on the skin are slow inflammation and wound healing, the appearance of dark and baggy under-eyes, and even premature aging. We don’t want visible fine lines and wrinkles early on in life, now do we?

7 Ingredients to Look Out For to Give You Glowy Skin

Keep your eyes peeled for these seven ingredients. They have excellent properties to aid in giving the skin a radiant finish.

Retinoids

This derivative of vitamin A is a magic word for anyone looking into new skincare products. It has quite a reputation for reversing the appearance of skin aging by tightening the look of the skin.

But another reason retinoids are a fan-favorite is that they give the skin a naturally radiant glow, making your skin look super healthy.

Give vitamin A a try in the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum.

Green Tea

Green tea has properties that brighten the appearance of the skin and reduce fine lines and aging.

Green tea is excellent at boosting the look of your overall complexion. 

Here at Vine Vera, we love all that green tea does for the skin. You’ll find the ingredient in several of our products, such as the Resveratrol Age Defying Eye Serum.

Red Algae

You might be thinking, “Gross! How could anyone put algae on their skin?” Well, the answer is: anyone serious about enriching the look of their skin will love this ingredient. 

Not only does it moisturize, but it gives the skin a glow. It also makes the skin feel so much more resilient.

Vitamin B3

Also known as niacin, this type of vitamin B is super impactful in leaving the skin looking healthily flushed.

It’s very impressive at taming the feel of inflammation in your skin, which should come as no surprise because niacinamide is a fan-favorite skincare vitamin for soothing the look of the skin and clearing up the appearance of redness due to acne.

Ginseng

This spice is known to be a vasodilator, similar to peppermint and other spices and oils.

This ingredient is loved for how it minimizes the look of skin aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. It also brightens the look of the skin, giving it a gorgeous glow.

Avocado

This fruit isn’t just perfect over toast for breakfast—it’s also a secret weapon to glowing skin.

It keeps the complexion looking plump and the skin feeling strong and fortified. 

Resveratrol

We’ve saved the best for last on this list. Resveratrol is an ingredient usually found in berries, grapes, and wine.

In recent years, it has become quite a trendy skincare product for those with sensitive skin. Many people see it as an ingredient that soothes the feel of the skin, but in reality, it offers so much more than that.

Aside from reducing the appearance of redness from inflammation, it also gives the skin a glow.

Resveratrol is a hot new skincare ingredient for sophisticated women in need of an extra glow (and also wine lovers looking for yet another reason to love and rave about their favorite drink!). If you want to try it out for yourself, look no further than Vine Vera.

A terrific moisturizer to incorporate into your skincare routine is Vine Vera’s Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Moisture Day Cream. This product is rich in resveratrol and vitamin E, both of which are holy grails for bright-looking skin.

It takes time to see a difference in your skin when incorporating these into your routine. Consistency is key if you want to see results, so stick with it, and you’ll be as radiant as the sun in no time.

Lifestyle Changes That Can Promote Healthy-Looking Skin

While it’s easier and more convenient to rely on skincare products to give your skin a radiant finish, there are a couple of healthy lifestyle changes that could make an even more significant impact when adopted in conjunction with the right products.

Exercise

Exercising is one of the best things you can do to promote better blood circulation all over your body. Pumping up your heart rate by jogging, doing jumping jacks, or even just pacing around the house can improve your blood flow and give your skin that glow you’re yearning for.

You can elevate your fitness regimen by getting into yoga and meditation. Reducing your stress levels through these is also a surefire way to improve your blood circulation significantly.

Getting massages regularly is another thing that can help increase blood flow in the face and body. Because you’re stimulating the skin, it allows for speedier blood circulation, giving you a rosy flush and natural radiance almost instantly.

Diet

Being more conscious of what you eat is also crucial when trying to improve your circulation. Eating too many salty foods can raise your blood pressure, which keeps your blood flow from being efficient. Cut down on processed foods and too-hearty meals and balance it out with lighter, healthier snacks.

Turn instead to foods that are high in vitamins E and A, like almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, avocados, and more. These help prevent blood clotting in your veins, promoting healthier circulation with no blockage.

Load up on garlic, onions, and spices like cayenne pepper when cooking your fave meals as well. They can also reduce inflammation in your blood vessels, therefore stimulating your circulation.

Hydration

Lastly, always remember to hydrate. Drinking a lot of water is healthy for many reasons, but it plays a huge role in blood circulation.

Staying hydrated maintains the volume of blood your body has. Without hydrating regularly, there won’t be enough blood cells to flush out toxins or keep your skin looking radiant.

Conclusion

How your skin looks is always going to be a reflection of what’s going on inside your body. 

Trying out products with any of the seven ingredients listed above may just surprise you, and the prize is none other than smooth, radiant, and clear skin.
