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. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.
But all that stuff is expensive. My last vacation spa visit was well over 150 dollars and I didn’t even get a full massage. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments at home. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? Honey, naturally.
Below are just a few uses for honey that will leave you feeling delicious and beautiful:
* Beauty Tips With Honey #1: Be bubbly - Just adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath will leave your skin soft and smooth. Exfoliate with a loofah while you’re in there for extra creamy, glowing skin. 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 edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.
* Beauty Tips With Honey #2: Use a few different layers. - An egg white mask can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a small amount of flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a really thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. Smooth the mask over your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.
* Beauty Tips With Honey #3: Just make your own toner. - Get an air-tight container and mix ½ cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a ½ cup of rosewater together. The best kind of container to use is a Tupperware with a screw-on lid. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. 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. Use this jar of honey for these beauty tips for a good while.
