Beauty Tips and Tricks for Using Honey
When thinking of beauty tips, do you ever think about sweet things? I know that I love a good chocolate facial, just for starters. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.
But all that stuff is expensive. My last vacation spa visit was well over 150 dollars and I didn’t even get a full massage. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments at home. What is the base ingredient for these facials and masques? Honey, of course.
Below are just a few uses for honey that will leave you feeling delicious and beautiful:
* Beauty Tips Using Honey #1: Bubbles are great - Just adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath will leave your skin soft and smooth. You can use a loofah to exfoliate your skin while your in the tub and it will give you nice, glowing skin. Then add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and you will feel like Cleopatra, who once used milk bathes to help keep her skin clear. Of course, any time you bathe in any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layering is fun. - Make an egg white masque by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a little flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. Your pores need to be open first by putting a hot wash cloth on your face for 3 minutes. You then smooth the mask on. Let it dry for ten minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own smooth skin toner. - Put a half a cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half a cup of rosewater in an airtight container and mix together. The best kind of container to use is a Tupperware with a screw-on lid. Thoroughly blend by shaking together really good. You will end up with a mixture that is quite runny and cloudy in color. Then for tight, toned skin, apply it with a cotton ball.
You should use the best honey for these treatments. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. You will be able to use this honey for your beauty tips for months to come
