cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I like to have a chocolate facial every once in a while. Then there are the sweet things like vanilla steams, spice wraps and sugar scrubs.
But all that stuff is expensive. I paid 150 dollars at my last spa visit, and I didn’t even get the full massage. 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? It’s honey.
Read below for a few in-home uses for honey that will leave you feeling luscious and wonderful in no time:
* Beauty Tips Using Honey #1: Bubbles are great - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. You can use a loofah to exfoliate your skin while your in the tub and it will give you nice, 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 any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layering is fun. - You can make a wonderful egg white mask using ingredients right from your own kitchen. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth for 3 minutes. The put the mask on. Let it sit 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. - 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 Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. You may then apply it with a cotton ball and your skin will be beautiful and toned.
You should use the best honey 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.
