Sweet and Sassy Beauty Tips: Spa-Quality Uses for 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. There is also sweet stuff like sugar scrubs or vanilla steams.

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. Thankfully, there are many different ways to give yourself some of the same sweet treatments at 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:

* Beauty Tips With Honey #1: Be bubbly - A cup of honey in your bubble bath leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. If you want an extra glow to you skin, exfoliate with a loofah while in the tub. By adding about 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder, you skin will stay 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. - 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. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. Then smooth the mask on. Keep it on for 10 minutes. Your skin will be fresh and youthful after your remove the mask with warm water.

* Beauty Tips With Honey #3: Just make your own toner. - Honey, buttermilk and rosewater mixed together can do wonders for your skin.
