How to Use Honey for Beauty Tips, Tricks and Treatments
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 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 basis for these awesome 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 - 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. By adding about 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder, you skin will stay clear. When you use edible products in your bath, you must make sure to rinse down very well afterwards.
* Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layer 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. Smooth the mask over your face. Let it dry for ten minutes. Your skin will be fresh and youthful after your remove the mask with warm water.
* Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own silky-skin toner. - Place a half cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half cup of rosewater in an air-tight container. A Tupperware with a screw-on lid works great. Then shake the mixture until blended well. It will be runny and a cloudy color. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.
