How to Use Honey for Beauty Tips, Tricks and Treatments

Posted on September 30th, 2009 | by lose_spots |

cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I know for sure that I love a great chocolate facial. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.

However, all those things are not cheap. The last spa visit I had cost me way over 150 dollars Thankfully, there are many different ways to give yourself some of the same sweet treatments at home. The basis for these delectable facials and masques? You guessed it, honey.

Read below for a few in-home uses for honey that will leave you feeling luscious and wonderful in no time:

* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. Use a loofah to exfoliate while you’re in there and you will have extra creamy and glowing skin. Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and feel just like Cleopatra, who used milk baths to keep her skin clear. Naturally, when you are using edible products, you should rinse down really good afterwards.

* 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. You then smooth the mask on. Let it dry for ten minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.

* 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. Thoroughly blend by shaking together really good. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. Then apply it with a cotton ball for tight and toned skin.

You should use the best honey for these treatments. You can get a nice size jar of organic honey for much less than 20 dollars. You will be able to use this honey for your beauty tips for months to come
