Vinotherapy, where you dip (not sip) into some wine for flawless skin
A good spa day includes a calming environment, warm oils, soothing music (which is definitely not notification pings), and maybe even a glass of wine. But what if someone tells you that wine is not for sipping, but soaking? Yes, this is called vinotherapy (or wine therapy), a wellness concept where wine meets when it comes to skincare, finding the right routine or experimenting with new ingredients can feel overwhelming. But this is where vinotherapy comes in - experts say that incorporating wine into beauty treatments can have real benefits, though only to a certain Ageing like fine wineadvertisementVinotherapy involves using by-products of wine - grapeseed oil, crushed skins, and pulp. These are treated as elixirs for skin health. The origins can be traced back to the late 1990s. Mathilde Thomas and Bertrand discovered a treasure in their backyard vineyard. The French couple, who are now the founders of beauty brand Caudalie, had a chance encounter with Professor Joseph Vercauteren, an expert in grapevine polyphenols, in their home. As conversations unfolded, they realised that what was being discarded as waste from wine-making was actually 'liquid gold.'According to the professor, grape seeds are rich in antioxidants and could have powerful anti-ageing effects. This led to a patented discovery and, eventually, the launch of the first vinotherapy more studies and research were conducted to tap the potential benefits of vines and grapes, it was established that antioxidants like resveratrol, flavonoids, and tannins are the true heroes here. Therefore, it works well for the power of antioxidants helps neutralise free radicals that oxidise skin, causing premature have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe acne-prone or irritated found in grape skin can help tighten pores and benefit oily skin. This makes it ideal for humid Indian acids in wine may gently exfoliate and improve skin texture as like skincare goals you have been trying to achieve all this while? Hold on! There is a certain word of caution when it comes to Indian skin texture, as the same natural acids can irritate sensitive formulations might cause photosensitivity, and those with grape allergies should be especially cautious."Indian skin types with PIH - Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation - should use vinotherapy with caution. It must be customised under a dermatologist's guidance,' says Dr. Ameesha Mahajan, Cosmetic Dermatologist and Founder, Eden Skin Clinic, and vineyardsSeveral vineyards are on board with this trend, incorporating it into their waste-to-wellness sustainability at its core, local vineyards and resorts in wine-producing states like Karnataka and Maharashtra often offer vinotherapy. Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Nashik is one among all ingredients are locally sourced and pre-purified for vinotherapy to ensure both skin safety and the sourcing process and extraction of by-products, Jatish Ghai, General Manager of the hotel, shares with India Today, "Once separated, they are carefully processed and transformed into high-quality oils, scrubs, and balms used in our vinotherapy treatments. This sustainable approach not only minimises waste but also harnesses the natural wellness benefits of the grape."advertisementVinotherapy here is a multisensory, restorative ritual that includes cold-pressed grapeseed oil, crushed grape skins and seeds, and natural grape extracts.'It begins with a foot soak infused with grape extract salts to detoxify and calm. Guests then inhale the earthy aroma of pure grape extracts before a tension-releasing massage using cold-pressed grapeseed oil,' says it is actually catching on.'In the past six months, approximately every second or third spa booking out of ten has been for vinotherapy,' Ghai shares. The demand shows that guests want more than just relaxation. The therapy's unique combination of authenticity, relaxation, and skincare benefits continues to attract both new and returning is one of the famous vineyards in Nashik where sustainability is embedded into every stage of winemaking and vineyard management too. "One hundred per cent of our grape by-products are reused, primarily through composting pomace, which is returned to the soil as natural fertiliser," says Gorakh Gaikwad, COO of Sula Vineyards.

A session can cost you anything above Rs 10, vinotherapy the next big thing?Umm... not quite. The benefits are real but subtle. Experts agree that vinotherapy is best seen as complementary, not corrective.'Its efficiency will vary with the concentration and frequency of application. It can still not outweigh consistent skincare when it comes to achieving a glow and cannot be a replacement for targeted dermatological therapies,' says Dr. to experts, to achieve optimal effects for fine lines or pigmentation, regular treatments about every 2-4 weeks for 2-3 months might be considered. Skincare for you but a little stress for the wallet maybe? Also, they caution how the results may fade if skincare is not further wine-infused beauty products. Glamveda has a line of skincare products infused with wine.

Wondering why red wine specifically? Research has shown that certain compounds found in red wine have anti-ageing is found in red wine at levels of up to 14 milligrams per litre, according to some studies. It is a popular antioxidant. In lab-based in-vitro studies, resveratrol has shown a significant impact - it appears to reduce the risk of dementia and cardiovascular disease, and may even slow down ageing," says Dr. Akanksha Singh, Senior Cosmetologist at SENS Clinic.

(Screenshot from Nykaa) Dr. Mahajan agrees that red wine-based products can be considered an alternative to vinotherapy, as the use of grape seed extract, resveratrol, or fermented wine extracts may offer similar antioxidant and anti-ageing benefits. She suggests looking for products that contain stabilised resveratrol or grape polyphenols in serum formulations. It's also advisable to steer clear of products with added alcohol or artificial when someone says you're ageing like fine wine, we'll take it - because fine wine is far better than fine lines. Experts acknowledge the benefits of vinotherapy and wine-based skincare but emphasise that while they can support skin health, delay signs of ageing, and bring a natural glow, they are not treatments for conditions like acne or melasma. advertisement

Can palm oil be part of a healthy diet? Experts say yes—if we rethink our food mindset
Bengaluru: In today's health-conscious world, food choices often reflect more than nutrition—they mirror identity, ethics, and even emotion. Among the many controversial ingredients at the centre of public debate is palm oil—long vilified as an unhealthy fat, often lumped with processed foods and environmental concerns. But is it really that simple? Nutrition experts and psychologists argue otherwise. According to current research and real-world dietary psychology, the black-and-white view of food—as either 'good' or 'bad'—is deeply flawed and even harmful. 'We now know that rigid dietary control doesn't work,' says a nutrition expert based in Bengaluru. 'All-or-nothing thinking about food—calling something 'clean' or 'junk'—leads to guilt, binge eating, and eventually diet burnout.' Palm oil, used for centuries in Indian, African, and Southeast Asian cooking, is often demonised in modern wellness circles. However, the problem lies less in the oil itself and more in our mindset toward it. 'No, palm oil is not a superfood. But it's also not poison,' say experts. 'Like any other fat, it serves a function—providing energy, aiding in nutrient absorption, and adding flavour to meals.' Nutritionists are now advocating for what's called flexible dietary restraint—an approach that promotes moderation and mindfulness over restriction. Instead of banning entire food groups or ingredients, this method encourages individuals to meet nutritional needs—like sufficient protein (1.2g per kg of body weight), fibre (~15g per 1000 kcal), and a modest calorie deficit—while also allowing room for personal food preferences. Under this model, palm oil can be included. Whether it's a spoonful in your curry, used to sauté vegetables, or as a base in a homemade dressing, it becomes part of a broader, balanced eating pattern. 'Once you stop fearing food, you stop obsessing over it,' explains a behavioural nutritionist. 'You can enjoy a meal with friends or eat a traditional dish without guilt. That consistency is what builds real, lasting health.' The conversation around palm oil—and food in general—needs to shift from rigid moral judgments to practical nutritional choices. 'We don't need more food rules,' says the expert. 'We need more food wisdom.' In fact, over-restrictive diets often result in the very behaviours they aim to prevent: yo-yo dieting, binge eating, and emotional distress. Meanwhile, flexible approaches empower people to make informed choices based on their needs, cultural practices, and preferences. So, can palm oil be part of a healthy diet? Yes, say experts—but not because it's inherently magical. It fits when consumed in moderation, with awareness, and as part of an overall balanced approach to food. Ultimately, this shift in thinking doesn't just benefit your waistline—it brings peace to your plate.(Authored by Vijaya Thakkar )
