++ Great skin and beautiful hair thanks to honey and beer ++

Who would have thought that honey doesn't just look good on school bread? Even the ancient Romans called honey "heavenly medicine" because at that time they used it to soothe their stressed skin. The many proteins and vitamins also support the skin cells. The honey therefore ensures a beautiful and healthy complexion. You can easily make a face mask with this miracle cure by mixing honey and curd cheese. This mask moisturizes the skin and makes it beautifully supple.

Or you just get a beer from the basement and pour it into your hair. But before you go to the beer crate, you'd better coordinate your venture with a parent. ;-) Really beer? Sounds really weird, but helps the hair loose to make and give him the necessary support. This makes your hair look fuller and more voluminous. The beer, the hops and the yeast in the beer provide your hair with trace elements and vitamins. And that is better than any expensive shampoo!

Why does my skin burn after using a mask?

If, after you have applied your mask, you notice a slight, warm pull on the skin relatively early on, you should react quickly and wash your face quickly. The reason for this could be that your skin is irritated by the ingredients. A too long exposure time can cause a burning sensation and skin irritation. If the mask burns, wash it off quickly - no matter in which case!
