Imagine unwinding in a tub filled with ingredients typically found in your favorite craft brew. A growing number of spas in the United States and beyond are now offering "beer baths" and "beer soaks" as a unique and indulgent way to relax while reportedly reaping some surprising skincare benefits. According to the New York Post , Piva Beer Spa in Chicago has been at the forefront of this trend since its opening in 2019.
The spa offers various services, including massages, salt rooms, and signature beer soaks. The spa combines hops, barley, and brewer's yeast in its tubs, claiming the mixture is packed with antioxidants to exfoliate , soften, and improve skin elasticity. Additionally, the antibacterial properties of the alcohol and epidermal growth factor found in barley are said to help combat acne.
Per the outlet, other spas also offer beer soaks that contain B vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants. These ingredients are infused into water, not actual beer, and are said to exfoliate, "purify," and moisturize the skin while also leaving hair softer and shinier.
