TRY THIS BEER HACK FOR SHINY HAIR AND SOFT SKIN

Good old beer! Surprised? I know it may seem like a very odd ingredient to add into your beauty routine, but it has amazing properties. With it's low pH value, beer helps to tighten hair follicles as well as remove dirt and grease and product build up from hair. The yeast in beer is also a good source of B vitamins, protein, selenium, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. That thick white froth in beer also helps in curbing acne due the yeast in beer and slow down the production of sebum, to reduce emergence of pimples.

 Below are a few ways to use beer in your skin and hair routine: 

Beer Bubble Bath: Try a bath soak using a mixture of olive oil based soap and some cups of beer. Relax and soak for 10 minutes or more, then rinse off to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. I tried it a couple of times and my skin feels soft and supple. 

Beer/Strawberry Face Scrub: Make a strawberry paste, add a table spoon of sugar and two table spoon of beer. Rub the paste over all of your face and rinse after 10minutes. 

Beer Conditioner: Jojoba oil and beer can be use to condition hair. This natural, non-greasy conditione adds body and weight while jojoba oil adds shine. Add 2 tablespoon of beer to jojoba oil to give your hair a shiny sheen. Alternatively, you can substitute jojoba oil with coconut or olive oil. 

Beer Face Mask: Mix egg white and beer and apply to face and wash after 5minutes to achieve a soft skin.

SUGAR SCRUB: This how i made a simple 4-Ingredients DIY Sugar Scrub

 I have a strict routine on exfoliating at least once every week. This morning I decided to do a diy sugar scrub. I did a face scrub with no essential oil. It included sugar, green tea, baking powder and water. All I did was mix them all with water. I wanted to see how it felt without adding any essential oil. Surprisingly after washing the sugar off, it felt as good as a professionally prepared scrub. I was so impressed that I had to use it again to do a total body, neck to feet scrub. Now I realised you could still do a scrub without using any oil and it will turn out as nice. You can give it a try. But ensure you scrub gently because the sugar feels more abrasive without oil.  You can let us know about your experience using an oil free sugar scrub.

PRODUCT REVIEW : BIO-OIL FOR SCAR, SUNBURN, STRETCH MARKS

Bio-oil is one of my favourite oil. I have been using it for years since my university days. This moisturising oil is formulated to hydrate the skin, clear off stretch mark, sunburn , acne, scars, uneven skin tone, aging  and dehydrated skin. It is so light and it gets absorbed easily into the skin and it is non greasy.  Bio oil is one product I can authoritatively recommended for any one who is suffering from the above mentioned skin issues.   I used to have uneven complexion and dark knuckles way back. I tried bio-oil and it worked. The  dark knuckles was from using different products randomly when I was still a teen. A lot of these products had hydroquinone which discoloured my skin .

I have been lucky not to have much stretch marks but due to the nature of the skin, I still see a few slight
