Yesterday my girlfriend and I ventured out to Niagara-on-the-lake for a spa getaway. Amidst the pouring rain outside we experienced a tranquil and peaceful setting that allowed us to forget the impending drive home in the pouring rain. The highlight of my visit and, obviously, something relevant to wine, was my Vinotherapy Facial; grapes are not only used to make wine, they are, in fact, a powerful anti-oxident, specifically the grape skins. The grape skins are used in a masque that detoxifies while softening and hydrating the skin. By the end of the facial, I was radiant and glowing, not the usual red blotches I’m normally accustomed. The grape skins are not only used in the mask, but are in the serum used to tighten and dramatically impact the damaging effects of the sun. Wow, I never new the grape skin could have these effects on your skin. Also, while lying there, completely content, I asked where the grape skins came from and to my surprise it was from a well know vineyard down the road, called Inniskillin — their grapes not only make great wines, but are integral in beautifying the people that visit the Niagara region.
