Brightening Beer Facial

I am more of a wine drinker than a beer girl. Although I do like a cold corona with lime while sitting on the beach. But lets be honest, that only happens once every couple of years! Luckily my hubby is a beer drinker and we always have something in the fridge, so I never have an issue whipping up this mask.

What you need:
1 egg white; ½ cup beer (any brand); and 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice. No limes handy feel free to use some lemon juice!

How it works: Beer is a soothing cleanser. “It contains B vitamins, hops, saccharides, and yeast, which help dissolve dead skin cells and increase the skin’s luminosity. When mixed with egg white, the yeast in the beer creates a filmy mask that hydrates and improves the elasticity of the skin. Adding a dash of lime, a source of vitamin C, helps to clear pores and fade brown spots.

Do it yourself: Combine the egg white and beer with the lime juice. Slather onto the face. After 10 minutes, rinse with warm water.




Wait! If your hair is feeling a little lifeless and flat, use the yolk and remainder of beer to make yourself a hair masque!

Beer is definitely worth trying out to make your hair feel a little fuller. And, in order to make this mask even better, simply add one egg yolk. So one egg yolk and 2 oz of beer (some claim it should be flat or that you should cook off the alcohol) I just use it straight from the bottle – how simpler can it be! Apply this mixture on your damp hair, wrap it in plastic and let it sit over the next 30 minutes.
