Homemade Beauty Tips and Tricks from Honey
When beauty tips come to mind, do you ever think about the sweet stuff? For starters, I love to have a yummy chocolate facial. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.
But all those things are really costly. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! But, there are a ton of different ways to give yourself some of these sweet treatments. What is the essence of these wonderful facials? It’s honey.
You will feel absolutely luscious in no time when you use these beauty tips that include honey:
* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Bubble baths - A cup of honey in your bubble bath leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. If you want an extra glow to you skin, exfoliate with a loofah while in the tub. 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 any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra 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. Your pores need to be open first by putting a hot wash cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Smooth the mask over your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash it off your face with lukewarm water and you an admire your youthful skin.
* Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own silky-skin toner. - Get an air-tight container and mix ½ cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a ½ cup of rosewater together. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Then shake the mixture until blended well. It will be runny and a cloudy color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.
