When beauty tips come to mind, do you ever think about 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.

Nevertheless, all that stuff is pretty 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. What is the base ingredient for these facials and masques? Honey, of course.

Here are just a few home-uses for honey that will have you feeling absolutely luscious in no time:

* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - By adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath, you can make your skin so very smooth. Exfoliate with a loofah while you’re in there for extra creamy, glowing skin. Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and feel just like Cleopatra, who used milk baths to keep her skin clear. Of course, any time you bathe in edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.

* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layering is fun. - You can whip egg whites, honey and flour or unsweetened cocoa together to 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. Relax 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. - Place a half cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half cup of rosewater in an air-tight container. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Then shake the mixture until blended well. It will be runny and a cloudy color. Then for tight, toned skin, apply it with a cotton ball.

You should use the best honey for these treatments. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. This jar of honey will get your through months of these beauty tips.
