Beauty Tips and Tricks for Using Honey
cosmetic skincare+ making – 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. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.
But all those things are really costly. The last spa visit I had cost me way over 150 dollars But you can, fortunately, give yourself the same sweet treatments at home with these beauty tips. The basis for these delectable facials and masques? Honey, of course.
Here are just a few home-uses for honey that will have you feeling absolutely luscious in no time:
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Bubble baths - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. 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.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layering is fun. - A really great egg white masque can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a tad bit of flour or unsweetened cocoa together until they make a thick paste. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth 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.
* 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. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Then shake the mixture until blended well. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.
Use the highest quality honey for these treatments. You just need a good sized jar of organic honey, which is less than 20 dollars, that hasn’t been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You will be able to use this honey for your beauty tips for months to come
