5 Biggest Beauty Lessons I Learned in France

Go into any French restaurant and you'll find a long list of red wines to pair with your meal. Given how affordable wine is in France (seriously, why is it so much more expensive here in the US?), I gulped down vin with lunch and dinner. (Here I am in red lipstick, wearing a red-striped shirt, enjoying a glass of red wine in Paris.)

I suspect my new drinking habit (coupled with the new skin care products I hauled) had something to do with my glowing skin: After all, as a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy notes, resveratrol, a compound in red wine, has major antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits.
