VINOTHERAPY

Wine grapes are the perfect fruit for skin conditioning, as they are very high in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols and resveratol.
In France, in 1990 Professor Vercauteren discovered that the grape seeds discarded at the end of the grape harvest contained powerful anti-aging properties. The grape seeds contain polyphenols which, once stabilized, have priceless benefits for the skin. The anti-oxidants contained in grape seed polyphenols have an incredible capacity to fight free radicals, and therefore fight skin aging. The free-radical protection from grape seed polyphenols is unequalled in the plant world.
In 1999, Caudalie opened its first spa at the Château Smith Haut Lafitte vineyards near Bordeaux.
A vinotherapy center is successfully operating as well in Meursault. Here masseuses use artisanal wine-making rakes to massage energy paths on the spine:

• Baths and Wraps: treatments to infiltrate the tissues, physiologically eliminating water and activating the circulation thanks to extracts of red grapevines and biological essential oils.

• Therapeutic Massage: the massages are carried out with essential oils and extra-fine grape seed oil which well known for its nutritional and softening properties. This oil keeps the skin hydrated and restores its elasticity.

• Facial treatment: aimed at achieving firmer, healthier and more attractive skin, these treatments use stabilized polyphenols that increase collagen and elastine production. The polyphenols also combat free radicals which are the main cause of skin aging.
