Champagne — it’s festive, it’s glamorous, it puts people in a good mood.
But I’ll let you in on a secret: This bubbly adult beverage isn’t just for special occasions…
… it’s also AMAZING for your skin!
I’m not kidding. If you want a smooth, luxurious complexion, champagne is your new best friend.
Rich in youth-boosting vitamins C and E, and loaded with polyphenols (a powerful antioxidant), it can help fight wrinkles, illuminate dull skin, and reduce the appearance of aging.
And the best way to get champagne’s spectacular beauty benefits… is by putting it right ON your skin!
That’s because you can do it as often as you like, without putting any alcohol (a known skin-ager) in your system.
Plus, those fizzy champagne bubbles invigorate your skin with bursts of oxygen… giving you that fresh, vibrant “champagne glow”!
That’s why Champagne Facials are becoming so popular among Hollywood A-listers right now — you may have even seen them offered at high-end spas in your area.
But you don’t need to shell out hundreds of dollars for a professional champagne treatment.
All you need is a bottle of champagne (or any type of sparkling white wine), and a couple of everyday ingredients…
And you can give yourself a ‘champagne facial’ right at home — in less than 30 minutes!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/4 cup champagne (chilled)
2 bananas (ripe and soft)
1 tsp. olive oil
1 cotton ball (and a bit more champagne to soak it in)
Instructions:
- Puree bananas and olive in a blender. Transfer paste into a medium-sized bowl. Add champagne and stir until evenly combined. (Your ‘treatment’ is ready!)
- Apply a generous layer to your face and neck. Leave on for 15 minutes (you may want to lie down to keep the mask from running). Then rinse off with cool water and pat your skin dry.
- Soak your cotton ball in champagne and swipe it over your face and neck (champagne is a great toner all by itself). Allow to dry for 1 minute.
- If your face feels a bit sticky, wipe it with a damp washcloth — otherwise, don’t rinse. Just go about your skincare regimen as usual… and let your ‘champagne toner’ work its magic at full capacity.
But more importantly, it’s guaranteed to leave you with a softer, smoother, and more luminous-looking complexion every time.
So… are you going to give it a try? I hope so!
I have a feeling you’ll love its beauty-boosting effects, just like my A-list clients — except you’ll be paying a lot less for your results!

P.S. I should probably mention that a ‘Champagne Facial’ doesn’t necessarily require champagne. If you don’t like keeping alcohol in the house, a sparkling white grape juice will work just as well!
