Beauty Tips and Treatments Made from Honey
cosmetic skincare+ making – When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? Just for starters, I know I like to have a nice chocolate facial. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.
However, all those things are not cheap. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! But, there are a ton of different ways to give yourself some of these sweet treatments. What is the essence of these wonderful facials? Honey, naturally.
Below are just a few uses for honey that will leave you feeling delicious and beautiful:
* 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. You can use a loofah to exfoliate your skin while your in the tub and it will give you nice, glowing skin. If you add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bubble bath, it will help keep your skin very clear. Of course, any time you bathe in edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.
* Honey Beauty Tip #2: Cake it on. - 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. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Then smooth the mask on. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash it off your face with lukewarm water and you an admire your youthful skin.
* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own skin toner. - Honey, buttermilk and rosewater mixed together can do wonders for your skin. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. Then for tight, toned skin, apply it with a cotton ball.
Use the highest quality honey for these treatments. You can get a nice size jar of organic honey for much less than 20 dollars. You can then use this for your honey do beauty tips for a good while.
