To Get Rid of Acne:

Beer’s yeast can help improve the symptoms of acne by slowing down the production and killing off the bacteria that triggers acne. This main ingredient, inactive yeast, is known to be a great asset in maintaining a balanced pH level in the skin.

Cleanse the Skin:

Much like the antibacterial qualities fight acne, beer’s astringent component makes it a helpful when cleaning out pores. Also, hops just happen to be a stellar exfoliant. Bet you didn’t know that!

How to Get Glowing Skin:

Still on the fence with beer as a health product? Here a great recipe for a DIY beer mask. You will be able to sample the benefits of beer at home with an easy-to-make beer mask.

Combine 1 tbsp. of your favorite beer with 1 tsp. plain yogurt, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 egg white, 1 tsp. lemon extract and 1 tsp. almond extract.

  1. Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Lightly wet the face with warm water and apply the mask.
  3. Allow the mask to dry for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
  4. Complete the experience with a cold water splash, and step back and admire your beer-kissed skin.

We would love to know what you think! We are huge fans of this mask!!
