Sweet and Sassy Beauty Tips: Spa-Quality Uses for Honey
cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? Just for starters, I know I like to have a nice chocolate facial. And there are things such as, sugar scrubs, spice wraps and 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. But, there are a ton of different ways to give yourself some of these sweet treatments. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? Of course it’s honey.
Read below for a few in-home uses for honey that will leave you feeling luscious and wonderful in no time:
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Bubble baths - By adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath, you can make your skin so very smooth. Use a loofah to exfoliate while you’re in there and you will have extra creamy and glowing skin. Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and feel just like Cleopatra, who used milk baths to keep her skin clear. When you use edible products in your bath, you must make sure to rinse down very well 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. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth for 3 minutes. The put the mask on. Then wait for 10 minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.
* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own 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 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 should use the best honey for these treatments. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. You can use this for your honey do beauty tips for months to come.
