Hair, skin will drink it in
The trio are all clients of celebrity hairstylist Francky L'Official, who keeps his customers loyal by serving up warm beer. L'Official's recipe for "Beer Hair Therapy" calls for a warm bottle of Budweiser Select... and not much else. Simply shampoo hair, pop the beer top, pour over hair, then dry and style as usual. Beer's protein is said to give the hair cuticle a lift, creating natural volume, while vitamin B imparts shine. And for those of us with no trip to L'Official (or Hollywood) in sight, we've rounded up some beer-based beauty recipes that are easy and affordable. Beer Conditioner - 1 cup of your favorite brand of beer (warm) Combine ingredients and then apply to hair, spreading conditioner from ends to scalp. Rinse well. Beer Hair Rinse Ingredients - 1 ounce of distilled water Combine ingredients and then apply to hair after shampooing. Rinse well. Not the do-it-yourself type? Try Lush, an all natural line of products never tested on animals. The company's Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo ($16.50 for 8 ounces at Lush.com) includes key ingredients such as Irish stout, lemon juice, cognac oil and lemon oil. Vinotherapy Ripens Vinotherapy is the term for vineyard-inspired spa treatments and products. It calls on the powerful antioxidants in grapes, such as polyphenols and resveratol, which boast a bevy of skin-saving benefits. The country's first vinotherapy spa, Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa, opened in Sonoma Valley, Calif. But you won't have to head west to indulge in beauty products inspired by all things grape, thanks to a company called D'vine. D'vine is a brand-new collection of luxury skin care being touted as the first line of wine-based products for men and women. And you don't have to be an oenophile to fall in love with D'vine's scent-ilating products. Developed by Dr. Richard Mauer of D'vine Medical Spa in Cedar Falls, Iowa, D'vine products feature grape seed extracts, wine extracts, wine phytoalexins and resveratol. Wine phytoalexins are among the most promising ingredients in the D'vine collection; they protect skin from free radical damage, while acting as an anti-inflammatory. Plus, phytoalexins stimulate collagen networking and block the harmful effects of UV-B radiation. D'vine's "skin sommelier" educates consumers on the benefits of each product. Opt for the Fum Blanc Cleanser, a cream cleanser that removes eye makeup and more ($43.90); exfoliate and renew dull skin with the Zinfandel Scrub & Mask ($49.90); or pick head to toe pampering with the Shiraz Firming Body Lotion ($69.90). Browse the collection online at www.dvineinc.com. Bottom's up to beauty!
