Bohemian Beauty Care

Walk into a Czech drugstore and you will find a whole shelf of shampoo that smells faintly of a brewery. Here is what brewer's yeast, hops and malt proteins actually do for your hair, why late August is the right time to start, and which of the Czech beer ranges to pick.

Beer-based cosmetics have been known for their positive effects for centuries. Beer contains a high amount of B vitamins — thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, and folic acid — along with a rich mineral complex that improves blood circulation and promotes healthy skin and hair. Regular use leaves the skin soft, nourished, and refreshed, while giving hair a natural shine.
