Vinotherapy

Vinotherapy

Vinotherapy describes a beauty therapy process where the residue of wine making (the pips and pulp) are rubbed into the skin. The pulp is said to have excellent exfoliating qualities and help reduce the problems associated with ageing. Vinotherapy is becoming popular in holiday resorts in Spain, Portugal and France where spa treatments including vinotherapy are offered to visitors.
