How to Use Honey for Beauty Tips, Tricks and Treatments

When thinking of beauty tips, do you ever think about sweet things? Just for starters, I know I like to have a nice chocolate facial. 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. Luckily, there are quite a few ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments in your own home. What is the base ingredient for these facials and masques? Honey, of course.

Below are just a few uses for honey that will leave you feeling delicious and beautiful:

* Your Honey Do Beauty Tip #1: Bubble baths - Just adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath will leave your skin soft and smooth. Use a loofah to exfoliate while you’re in there and you will have extra creamy and 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 any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #2: Use layers. - You can make a wonderful egg white mask using ingredients right from your own kitchen. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth for 3 minutes. Then smooth the mask on. Relax for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own silky-skin toner. - You can have a great toner by using honey, buttermilk and rosewater and mixing them in an airtight container. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Shake together until thoroughly. Its going to be a cloudy color and really runny. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.

Use the highest quality honey for these treatments. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. This jar of honey will get your through months of these beauty tips.
