10 Ways To Make DIY Beer Soap

November 13, 2022 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

When it comes to soap, most people are accustomed to the typical fruity or floral scents, but have you ever heard of beer soap? Yes, that’s right, soap made with beer! But it’s not just a novelty item with a unique scent, beer soap has its own set of natural benefits for the skin.

As beer is made from natural ingredients such as hops, malt, and yeast, it contains essential vitamins and minerals that can improve the overall health of your skin. Beer soap is also known for its natural exfoliating properties and ability to help balance the skin’s pH levels.

Plus, the scent of beer soap can be both refreshing and invigorating. So, if you’re looking for a new way to incorporate natural ingredients into your skincare routine, or just want to try something new, making your own beer soap might be the perfect DIY project for you.

Beer soap has been really popular in treating acne. If you want to try them before you make them, check out these beer soaps on Etsy.

Some benefits include:

Fighting acne
Improved shaving
Overly dry skin
Overly oily skin
Improving your complexion

Beer soap is often paired with a rustic scent like cedarwood or pine.

Beer is rich in Selenium and glutathione, which are well-known antioxidants. It means that beer helps your skin to keep soft and young.

If you are tossing up between brewing your own beer and making your own soap, then it’s far easier to make the soap. Or you could do both and offer beer and soap for your guests.

Some other options are adding in hops for an exfoliating soap bar or substituting the beer for a cider to try something different.

Witch’s Brew Halloween Body Scrub – A Spooky DIY for Glowing Halloween Skin

When October hits and the pumpkins roll out, it’s the perfect time to stir up a little bubbling brew—for your skin! This Witch’s Brew Body Scrub is a fun, fizzy, exfoliating scrub made with natural ingredients and a hint of Halloween magic. It sloughs off dead skin, boosts circulation, and leaves you silky smooth, just in time for costume parties or cozy nights in.

Whether you’re prepping for a haunted house event or simply want a little pampering after handing out candy all night, this scrub is your go-to potion.

Why You’ll Love This DIY Halloween Scrub

Looks like a bubbling cauldron (especially in black or purple jars)
Gently exfoliates and moisturizes dry autumn skin
Scented with spooky-good essential oils (think patchouli, orange, and clove)
Made with simple pantry staples
Customisable with shimmer, color, or even candy eyeballs (for visual fun—not for use!)

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar (white or brown)
¼ cup coconut oil (or grapeseed oil)
1 tbsp activated charcoal (for a spooky black color)
½ tsp green mica or cosmetic-grade shimmer (optional cauldron glow)
5 drops orange essential oil
3 drops clove essential oil
2 drops patchouli or cinnamon essential oil
Optional: ½ tsp vanilla extract (for a sweet twist)
Optional topping: candy eyeballs or star confetti (for display only!)

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine sugar, charcoal, and mica powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the coconut oil and stir to create a wet, sandy texture.
Drop in the essential oils and vanilla extract, if using. Mix well.
Spoon into a small jar or Halloween-themed container. If gifting, top with a candy eyeball or wrap with a “Witch’s Brew” label.

How to Use:

In the shower, scoop a tablespoon and gently massage into damp skin in circular motions. Avoid the face (due to charcoal), and rinse thoroughly. Follow with body butter or lotion for spellbinding softness.

Gifting Idea:

Pair it with a “Batty Bath Bomb” or “Pumpkin Spice Lip Balm” in a little Halloween basket. Great for party favours, teacher gifts, or seasonal markets!
