Teresa Tells Us About Her Lastest Purchase:
Hi, I just bought new skin care with grape seed extract. Any comments or news on this? Thank you.
The Right Brain’s Viney Reply:
Once again, we reference our post about the use of Grapeseed extract in Caudalíe, one of Jennifer Aniston’s favorite cosmetics. There does appear to be some evidence that grapeseed extract- type ingredients can have a beneficial effect. We quote our earlier post:
The experts agree antioxidants are important but they say that sun protection is a key to fighting skin damage and premature aging. According to Smartskincare.com polyphenols, like those used by Caudalie, “appear to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays” and therefore “may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.” So, while grape-based antioxidant treatments can be helpful, you should still use a sunscreen.
The Beauty Brain’s Bottom Line:
The combination of antioxidants and sunscreens can be weapon in the war against wrinkles. Just shop wisely – not everyone can afford the same products as Jen!
