But did you know that beer can also be used for cosmetic purposes? Beer is made using natural ingredients like oats, grains, and yeast. Once the fermentation process takes place these ingredients come together to create your favorite after-work beverage. On their own, some of these ingredients can have a great impact in your beauty routine. 

There is an old wives tale that washing your hair with beer will make it strong and shiny. The truth is that the malt and hops in beer is full of proteins that can help repair damaged hair, giving it a longer and fuller appearance. Those with darker hair colors may also find that their hair has a great shine after rinsing it with beer. If you don't mind the smell, this once-a-week treatment is a fun idea to try. I wouldn't recommend using it right out of the fridge, but allow it to come to room temperature by setting the bottle next to your tub and allowing the heat and steam from your shower slowly bring it to temperature. 

This doesn't just apply to women, as beer brand Carlsberg figured out. They offer a full range of beer-infused hair care for men on their international website. All of the products are infused with the same great ingredients that go in their beer.
