DIY Hair Rescue: Beer

Why Beer Makes the Best Hair Moisturizer

We talk a lot about skin care tricks and secrets on this blog, because Skin Peel has so much knowledge to share and great products to offer. This week, we’re offering Skin Peel fans a simple tip to beautify their locks; naturally of course.

My bathroom cabinet is filled with bottles, jars and packets of sprays, serums and creams that are all meant to revive my over processed locks. In the process of trial and error, I have discovered effective and not so effective hair moisturizer products. I have also discovered that I can reach into my cooler and grab an inexpensive boost to my hair’s texture and style.

As it turns out, beer is the secret hair moisturizer you never knew you had. Comprised of proteins that act as a natural moisturizing agent, beer is shown to help repair dryness and boost hair body and volume. The yeast and sugar components in beer work to stimulate the cuticle and promote the appearance of shinier hair. Additionally, B vitamins in America’s favorite BBQ beverage promote overall hair health.

Here’s How:

The beer hair moisturizer strategy is simple to execute. First, take a beer (that you don’t plan to drink) and allow it to sit until it reaches room temperature. Wash your hair as usual and then pour the luke warm, flat beer over your head. Brush the beer into your locks from scalp to root, allow to set for a couple minutes, then rinse it out completely. Allow your hair to dry and notice the difference in shine and texture. Like the results? Repeat this process once weekly.

4 Worst Food Groups for Cellulite

Approximately 85% of women experience cellulite, which appears when fatty tissue builds up below the skin’s surface. Unfortunate genetics and poor circulation are often to blame for the condition affectionately known as "cottage cheese thighs."

Though you may have little control over genetics, you do have the power to choose a diet that will help diminish rather than exacerbate the appearance of dimpled skin. Whenever possible, limit the consumption of the following four food groups.



Sugar: Delicious foods high in glucose or sucrose can cause a spike in insulin, which promotes cellulite formation. Sugar laden foods such as boxed cakes, pies, ice cream and candy are on the list of those to limit. 

Excess Salt & Fat: Fatty meats such as ham, along with an array of deep fried and canned foods contain an abundance of sodium that may cause the body to retain excess. Unnecessary water retention contributes to the development of cellulite.

Alcohol: Alcohol, especially sweet wine, liquors (such as rum) and liqueurs contain are often high in calories and toxins that break fat down into fatty acids. This process helps exacerbate the appearance of cellulite.

Processed and Fast Food: Your favorite fast food joint (McDonald’s, Checkers, Taco Bell to name a few) are stocked with foods that are high in sugar, salt, additives and saturated fats that form pockets of fat below the skin.  Canned soup, jarred pasta sauce, boxed juices etc. all fall into this limited consumption category.
