5 Beer For Beauty Tips: How To Use Beer To Beautify Your Skin And Hair

While beer might seem like an odd ingredient to incorporate into your beauty routine, the aesthetic benefits are tremendous. Beer has a low pH, so it will help to tighten your hair follicles as well as remove dirt and grease from your hair. The froth in beer is also good for fighting acne because of the yeast; it helps slow down sebum production, decreasing pimples. The yeast in beer is also a good source of B vitamins, protein, selenium, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Here are five ways to incorporate beer into the maintenance of your skin and hair:

1. Beer Facial Mask

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon beer
1 egg white
1 drop almond extract

Directions: Whisk it all together and keep. Wash your face with the face wash you prefer, pat dry, and apply mask directly on face. Let it dry — at this point your skin will feel very taut. When completely dry, wash your face with lukewarm water.
