Beauty Tips and Tricks for Using Honey
When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I know that I love a good chocolate facial, just for starters. Then there are the sweet things like vanilla steams, spice wraps and sugar scrubs.
All that stuff tends to be expensive. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! But you can, fortunately, give yourself the same sweet treatments at home with these beauty tips. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? Of course it’s honey.
You will feel absolutely luscious in no time when you use these beauty tips that include honey:
* 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. If you want to take a milk bath, much like Cleopatra, just add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bath. Of course, any time you bathe in edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layering is fun. - An egg white mask can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a small amount of flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a really 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. Keep it on for 10 minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.
* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own skin toner. - Get an air-tight container and mix ½ cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a ½ cup of rosewater together. The best kind of container to use is a Tupperware with a screw-on lid. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. You will end up with a mixture that is quite runny and cloudy in color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.
The best honey should be used for these treatments. For much less than 20 dollars, you can buy a good sized jar of organic honey that hasn’t been chemically treated. Use this jar of honey for these beauty tips for a good while.
