We're all about testing out lots of different things on our journey to flawless skin, which includes trying a few DIY methods along the way.

The most recent one to catch our eye comes in the form of a two-ingredient mask, which has beauty buffs very excited.

Featured on Medium and created by Priyanka Uppal, it's been making its way around the web for a very good reason - wine.

Priyanka writes,

"What to do with that tiny bit of days old leftover red wine!? Try this CHEAP & EASY two ingredient face/body scrub that instantly gives baby soft glowing skin in less than 10 minutes."

Now we don't know about you, hun, but we rarely have leftover wine. That being said, I'm sure we could make an exception to try this.

Here's what you need to make an at-home wine exfoliator:

1 tbsp leftover red wine
3 heaped tbsp powdered sugar

Method:
Combine the two ingredients until the mixture is fully incorporated and apply it on your face/body for 5–10 minutes, rinse it off and moisturize your skin.

Apparently the 1:3 wine:sugar ratio yields the best consistency, but you can make a bigger batch by simply adding more ingredients in the same ratio.

We're intrigued! Will you be trying this?
