Shower Beer: 6 Good reasons to Bring Beer into Your Grooming Routine

Okay, so when something called Shower Beer popped up in our Instagram feed in April, we immediately thought it must be an April Fool’s joke.

Sure, we’re all for multitasking products but a brew that’s designed for drinking and washing up simultaneously seems wrong. But it appears to be a real collaboration between Snask, a Swedish creative agency, and a local Pangpang brewery, or we fell for an elaborate hoax.

Either way, it supposedly sold out, so because you can’t get your hands on the pale ale that does the work of a body wash, we found a handful of other beer-based grooming options that will help you clean up nicely. Bonus: None of them leave you smelling like a dank dive bar. Just remember to use them responsibly (i.e. do not attempt to drink them.)

Faded beard

Black is a slimming color and is one of the go-to colors for your formal and after-6 p.m. choices when you want to look amazing. Navy is a guy's guy color. It's flattering on nearly every guy and is the quintessential choice for guys looking to add some color to their wardrobe. Then there is burgundy. The deep wine-red color shows sophistication in your color choices and a bold attempt at expressing yourself. And don't forget that deep forest green or pine. It's a wonderful way to hold on to the colors of the trees before fall steals it away.

But what is one thing all of these colors have in common? They are ruined by flakes from your scalp and your beard. Of course, there are shampoos aplenty to help you rid yourself of the flakes from your scalp, but learning how to get rid of beard dandruff is the best way to ensure that whatever color you wear is at the top of its game.

Is coffee bad for teeth? You may not want to know the answer, preferring to "hear no evil, see no evil." After all, drinking coffee can be a lifeline during the morning grind.
