Beauty Tips and Treatments Made from Honey


When thinking of beauty tips, do you ever think about sweet things? I like to have a chocolate facial every once in a while. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.
All that stuff tends to be expensive. I didn’t even get a full massage and my last spa visit cost me over 150 dollars. Luckily, there are quite a few ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments in your own home. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? It’s honey.
Here are just a few home-uses for honey that will have you feeling absolutely luscious in no time:
* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - By adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath, you can make your skin so very smooth. If you want an extra glow to you skin, exfoliate with a loofah while in the tub. 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. Naturally, when you are using edible products, you should rinse down really good afterwards.
* Beauty Tips With Honey #2: Use a few different layers. - You can whip egg whites, honey and flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Next smooth it on your face. Keep it on for 10 minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.
* Beauty Tips Using Honey #3: Create your own silky-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. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Shake it up until its blended together well. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. Then for tight, toned skin, apply it with a cotton ball.
You always want to use the best honey for these treatments. You can get a nice size jar of organic honey for much less than 20 dollars. This jar of honey will get your through months of these beauty tips.
