I am a European and I enjoy at least two glasses of red wine each and every day. How does this affect the skin, and what can I do to counteract the effects?

Of course, no regrets. I love to live and I enjoy friends and good food and wine. Still, I certainly want to look my best!

I have read the latest Perricone book, and I feel a bit sorry for the doctor. He has no detectable joie de vivre. Control, control, control.

I am looking for a healthy combination.

Dear Chloë:

You'll be happy to know that there are no studies indicating that wine has a negative effect on skin.

A recent large scale study on cognitive ability (thinking ability) in women maximized with 3 glasses of red wine a day.

Additionally, Dr. Pickart wholeheartedly shares your love for red wine! Enjoying life is key!

Wonderful! Happy Holidays to all of you! Thank you for the fabulous research and fairly-priced products.

I'm glad to know there are no studies that wine has a negative effect on skin. I hope that goes for white wine too!! Cheers!

Polyphenol in red wine is an antioxidant and good for your skin, isn't it?

Oooo, I love them too. I would never give up chocolate!!! I can't live without.

Dear tommygirl:

Polyphenol is a good antioxidant - but we are not aware of any studies on the skin regarding it.
