3 Beauty Tips You Can Use for Honey

by admin on November 13, 2009

cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? For starters, I love to have a yummy chocolate facial. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.

All that stuff tends to be expensive. My last vacation spa visit was well over 150 dollars and I didn't even get a full massage. But you can, fortunately, give yourself the same sweet treatments at home with these beauty tips. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? Honey, of course.

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

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Be bubblicious. - When you add a cup of honey to your bubble bath it will leave your skin so soft. Use a loofah to exfoliate while you're in there and you will have extra creamy and glowing skin. By adding about 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder, you skin will stay clear. If you bathe in any edible type products, just make sure you rinse down really well when you are done.

* Beauty Tips With Honey #2: Use a few different layers. - 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. Your pores need to be open first by putting a hot wash cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Then smooth the mask on. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water and admire your fresh, youthful skin.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own silky-skin toner. - Get an air-tight container and mix ½ cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a ½ cup of rosewater together. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Then shake the mixture until blended well. It should be runny and a cloudy color. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.

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