Have you ever woken up after a night out and just wished that you could smell more like a pub? Eh…no us either, but if you ever HAVE wanted to add to that musty stench of stale beer and God knows what else, you’re in luck. Why not buy yourself a bar of beer soap?
Yes, somewhere out there a genius decided to combine the cleansing properties of soap with the vomit-inducing scent of hard liquor. Perfect for those days when you just don’t want to be bothered at work. Or if you’re trying to get fired.
Surprisingly enough beer actually makes a great soap. Beer itself is made with hops which are great for cleansing the skin. Not only will beer soap leave you feeling squeaky clean, it can also soothe irritated skin, heal minor cuts and bruises thanks to the anti-bacterial properties in the hops and soften tight or dehydrated skin. Did we mention that it can also help improve circulation and heal up achy muscles? It’s like a wonder product in soap form!
The only downside? According to reports, it does genuinely smell like actual beer. Solution: use it but completely douse yourself in your strongest, non-beer-scented aftershave once you’ve finished washing. Or maybe go for beer soap that has a blend of other, stronger-smelling ingredients in it.
Maybe you could just use cold hard historical evidence to prove that beer soap is the way forward. Cleopatra supposedly bathed in beer before she got her hands on milk and wealthy Romans used it as a skin treatment.
Or you could just accept the fact that everyone will automatically assume that you’re an alcoholic, because let’s face it, they probably will.
If you feel like your life is no longer complete until you have bathe yourself with a bar of beer soap, you can get your hands on some at vat19.com – the only place that delivers the stuff to Ireland.
Beer soap – it’ll either help your hangover or make you swear that you’ll never drink again.
