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. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.
However, all those things are not cheap. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! Thankfully, there are many different ways to give yourself some of the same sweet treatments at home. What is the essence of these wonderful facials? 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. - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. If you add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bubble bath, it will help keep your skin very clear. Of course, any time you bathe in any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.
* Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layer it on. - Make an egg white masque by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a little flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. You then smooth the mask on. Keep it on for 10 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. - 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. Shake together until thoroughly. You will end up with a mixture that is quite runny and cloudy in color. Then apply it with a cotton ball for tight and toned skin.
The best honey should be used for these treatments. You just need a good sized jar of organic honey, which is less than 20 dollars, that hasn’t been treated with chemicals or preservatives. Use this jar of honey for these beauty tips for a good while.
