How to Use Honey to Get Spa-Quality Beauty Tips and Treatments
Do you ever think about anything sweet when it comes to beauty tips? For starters, I love to have a yummy chocolate facial. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.
But all that stuff is 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 basis for these awesome facials and masques? Honey, naturally.
Here are just a few home-uses for honey that will have you feeling absolutely luscious in no time:
* Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Be bubblicious. - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. You can use a loofah to exfoliate your skin while your in the tub and it will give you nice, glowing skin. 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. If you bathe in any edible type products, just make sure you rinse down 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. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Then smooth the mask on. Relax for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.
* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own skin toner. - You can have a great toner by using honey, buttermilk and rosewater and mixing them in an airtight container. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. It will be runny and a cloudy color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.
When making these kinds of treatments, use the best honey. For less than 20 dollars, you can get a good-sized jar of organic honey that has not been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You can then use this for your honey do beauty tips for a good while.
