Liquor in your beauty products? Sounds like an interesting idea to us!
Turns out alcohol is sometimes infused in beauty products to help your skin look younger and your hair look better.
Check out beauty expert Rebekah George on NY’s PIX Morning News talking about the different benefits alcohol can have on your skin.
Our favorite discovery — sake to help make your skin look younger! According to the facts:
├óΓé¼┼ôYears ago, a Japanese monk discovered that the elderly workers in a sake brewery had wrinkles on their faces, but noticed that their hands were baby smooth, suggesting that sake’s yeast aids in the skin├óΓé¼Γäós natural renewal process. Sake also helps smooth and condition your hair.├óΓé¼┬¥
