Ahh, summertime. I have a love/hate relationship with you. I am presently in Florida soaking up some much-needed sun, which is a good thing considering kids use to call me "Casper" and "Powder."
However, I find myself so disgustingly hot that I feel as though I need to cleanse my face every fifteen minutes. Well, the beauty gods must have heard my prayers (er, complaining) because the other night the news reported the benefits of substituting Champagne as toner!
I had to investigate further, and this is what I found:
"It can be good for skin since it detoxifies your skin and it also fights off free radicals. Some people think that using champagne for your skin is a bad thing, but truth be told, it contains less alcohol than the toners you can find your nearest convenience store. When using the champagne as toner, the bubbles (carbon dioxide) will help to constrict the pores, which helps to make the skin more firm and provides a glow..."
It's as simple as pouring it on a cotton ball and dabbing it on your face for a quick fix!
You can find me walking on the beach with a bottle at my side...
