Homemade Beauty Tips and Tricks from Honey
1st October 2009 by Depressed No Commentscosmetic 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.
All that stuff tends to be expensive. I paid 150 dollars at my last spa visit, and I didn’t even get the 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? You guessed it, honey.
Here is a list of a few things you an do at home with honey that will leave you feeling luscious and beautiful:
* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - When you add a cup of honey to your bubble bath it will leave your skin so soft. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. By adding about 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder, you skin will stay clear. Naturally, when you are using edible products, you should rinse down really good afterwards.
* Beauty Tips Using Honey #2: Use layers. - You can whip egg whites, honey and flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Smooth the mask over your face. Then wait for 10 minutes. Your skin will be fresh and youthful after your remove the mask with warm water.
* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own skin toner. - You can have a great toner by using honey, buttermilk and rosewater and mixing them in an airtight container. A Tupperware with a screw-on lid works great. Then shake the mixture until blended well. It will be runny and a cloudy color. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.
You always want to use the best honey for these treatments. You can get a nice size jar of organic honey for much less than 20 dollars. Use this jar of honey for these beauty tips for a good while.
