At-Home Honey Beauty Tips
27th September 2009 by Depressed No Commentscosmetic 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. There is also sweet stuff like sugar scrubs or vanilla steams.
All that stuff tends to be expensive. I didn’t even get a full massage and my last spa visit cost me over 150 dollars. Luckily, there are quite a few ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments in your own home. The basis for these awesome facials and masques? Of course it’s honey.
You will feel absolutely luscious in no time when you use these beauty tips that include honey:
* Beauty Tips With Honey #1: Be bubbly - When you add a cup of honey to your bubble bath it will leave your skin so soft. Exfoliate with a loofah while you’re in there for extra creamy, 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 edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.
* Honey Beauty Tip #2: Cake 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. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Next smooth it on your face. Relax for 10 minutes. Your skin will be fresh and youthful after your remove the mask with warm water.
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own smooth skin toner. - Put a half a cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half a cup of rosewater in an airtight container and mix together. A Tupperware container with a screw-on lid is perfect Shake together until thoroughly. Its going to be a cloudy color and really runny. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.
You always want to use the best honey for these treatments. For less than 20 dollars, you can get a good-sized jar of organic honey that has not been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You can then use this for your honey do beauty tips for a good while.
