Why Sake Is The Next Big Thing In Skincare

by Stephanie Montes

The extent of your sake knowledge might end at the drink menu from your favorite sushi restaurant, but this Japanese drink, brewed from fermented rice, does more than just make happy hour that much better. Because it’s rich in exfoliating enzymes, sake gently removes dead skin cells from the surface without stripping you of needed moisture. And the best part is the fun doesn’t stop at your complexion. Ahead, eight beauty products infused with our favorite Eastern brew—no hangover in sight.
