Venus & Mars: Jagermeister Pore Suit

Everyone knows alcohol can cause damage to one's skin. But who would have thought to turn beer into a soap for cleanser? I have never tried Jagermeister (alcohol) -- and I find it really intriguing! I had to see it myself. Beer and skin care together? I like that! I immediately had to make my purchase and see if it works on me.



I have tried this soap years ago, but I was in a rush to see results that I didn't gave this soap enough time to help me combat my skin problem. (What was I thinking back then?!) Today, I gave this soap another chance, bought it, and tried it out again. I have large pores on my T-zone and a little on my cheek area. I use a pore strip every week to get rid of whiteheads and blackheads to help my pores "breathe", and reduce its size. I've been using this soap for about 5-6 weeks, and have to say, I love its benefits for my skin.

From their Facebook page:
What are the BENEFITS of V&M Jagermeister Beer Suit?
1. The main benefit of this soap is it’s PORE ENHANCING properties
2. It dramatically CLEANSES, MINIMIZES and CLEARS pores from deep within. Black and white heads becomes less visible and lighter with each use.
3. Upon clearing of dirt, blackheads and whiteheads, it prevents pores from clogging up again by CONSTRICTING pore DIAMETER and allowing room for new cell growth. Thus, giving way to a blemish-free skin.
4. It also has benefits for pimple refinement as it relieves the skin from pimple flare-ups.
5. It aids in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging.
6. It works as an exfoliant. Even though the skin is constantly shedding and renewing itself, dead skin cells can sometimes be left behind stuck to the surface of the skin. These extracts slough off those dead skin cells, allowing for smoother, softer skin.
7. Evens out skin tone without using harsh whiteners
 
Ingredients: Emu Oil, Jagermeister, Willow tree, sugar cane extract, turmeric, pepper, cantaloupe, sugar beets, unripe grape, cajeput, lemon extract 
Jagermeister has 56 herbs, fruits, woods, barks and roots!
The alcohol in Jagermeister comes from some neutral grain, like barley, wheat, corn or rice. It could also come from sugar, which is then fermented into alcohol, like liquor. “The flavoring is from the spices and herbs, most likely anise and licorice. Once the 56 ingredients are measured and ground, they are reduced to macerates (extracts) by being steeped in a mixture of cold alcohol and water for two to three days. After the resulting extract has been filtered, it is tored in oak barrels for a period of not less than one year. At the end of this storage time, the extract is filtered once more, mixed with liquid sugar, caramel, alcohol and water, and filtered yet again. The resultant brew is then ready for bottling.”
 
WHY IS JAGERMEISTER GOOD FOR THE SKIN?
Once the alcohol and its drying effects are removed, beer makes a near perfect skin care addition to soap. Since Jagermeister is practically made of herbs, fruits, woods, barks and roots, you can just imagine getting all these 53 herb's/root’s/fruit’s/wood’s/bark’s properties and benefits penetrating through your skin! They become a skin-cleansing asset when added to soap. They also bring the richness and nutritional value of fruit to the beer market and when used in soap, these transfer exceptional attributes to skin care.
“None of these skin care applications are possible without first removing the alcohol content form the beer. Not only does alcohol inhibit the chemical reaction necessary to the soap making process, it also dries the skin. This necessary extra step makes beer soap more labor intensive, hence unusually special and outstanding in it’s line.”



The Jagermeister soap is cold processed and handcrafted, and comes in 135g. Its color is dark grey with brown swirls, and is priced Php255 per bar.

I cut a piece of this soap and use that to wash my face. The scent, I assume, has a hint of the Jagermeister which is not strong at all. It lathers really well, but once I let the foam sit on my face for 2-3 minutes, it has that stinging feel to it; I sometimes ignore the stinging just to get those benefits sit in my face a little longer. It did got me alarmed thinking I'm allergic to this soap, but from the reviews and forums I've read online, other girls also had the same experience. It didn't caused me breakout nor redness, but helped me make my skin glow that other people start noticing too. My pores are a little smaller than they used to; I just don't understand how can this soap make "blackheads and whiteheads become less visible and lighter with each use". I still use a pore strip every week to keep my pores clean. I also love that it helps dry out any acne in few days especially during that time of the month.

This soap is just awesome! I am so happy I picked this soap again. I LOVE the benefits it brings to my skin. Will definitely repurchase.
