Brewer's yeast is a fungus that is involved in the fermentation process. Most people they are known as an additive that is used in the food industry: thus, the creation of all known bakery products, wine products and brewing is not without the participation of these unicellular fungi.
However, brewer's yeast is also used in cosmetology: if you consider their composition, then there will be no doubt about the medicinal properties of this material, because such vitamins as B1, B2, PP, B6 and E, favorably affect the skin. In addition to these vitamins, brewer's yeast contains protein, pantothenic acid, biotin and choline.
What are the benefits of brewer's yeast?
The beneficial effect of brewer's yeast is due to their unique composition: it is hardly possible to find a similar natural product that contains the same combination of nutrients.
- B vitamins increase the protective functions of the skin, accelerate the renewal of cells and have a weak antioxidant effect.
- Vitamin PP (or nicotinic acid) improves blood microcirculation, so that skin cells with blood receive the necessary nutrition.
- Vitamin E is called the main vitamin of female beauty: it is due to its normal amount in the body that the skin becomes elastic, the hair is strong, and the nails acquire a healthy shine.
- Pantothenic acid allows the skin to be smooth and moist: that's why when there is a lack of vitamin B5, early wrinkles appear.
- Choline - also a representative of the B group, which contributes to the overall recovery of the skin. When taken orally, it relieves it of redness and flaking, and when applied externally it has a similar effect, but in a lighter form.
- Biotin is vitamin H, it is found in large amounts in the yolk, and, as is known, yolk-based masks are very favorable for hair and skin. In medicine, it is used to restore the skin of a person and animal hair.
Thus, it can be said that brewer's yeast is a storehouse of vitamin B, and therefore they can be useful only in the field of medicine, but also in cosmetology.

Liquid yeast is more effective, however their shelf life is very short, and is about 7 hours.
