Homemade Beauty Tips and Tricks from Honey

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. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.

But all those things are really costly. 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. What is the base ingredient for these facials and masques? Honey, naturally.

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 - Just adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath will leave your skin soft and smooth. If you want an extra glow to you skin, exfoliate with a loofah while in the tub. 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. Of course, any time you bathe in any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #2: Use 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. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth for 3 minutes. The put the mask on. Then wait for 10 minutes. Wash it off your face with lukewarm water and you an admire your youthful skin.

* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own 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 container with a screw-on lid is perfect Thoroughly blend by shaking together really good. It should be runny and a cloudy color. You may then apply it with a cotton ball and your skin will be beautiful and toned.

When making these kinds of treatments, use the best honey. For much less than 20 dollars, you can buy a good sized jar of organic honey that hasn’t been chemically treated. This jar of honey will get your through months of these beauty tips.
