Homemade Beauty Tips and Tricks from Honey

cosmetic 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. There is also sweet stuff like sugar scrubs or vanilla steams.

However, all those things are not cheap. I paid 150 dollars at my last spa visit, and I didn’t even get the full massage. Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments at home. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering 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:

* 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. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. If you want to take a milk bath, much like Cleopatra, just add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bath. Of course, any time you bathe in edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layer it on. - A really great egg white masque can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a tad bit of flour or unsweetened cocoa together until they make a thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. Smooth the mask over your face. Keep it on for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #3: Create your own silky-skin toner. - Honey, buttermilk and rosewater mixed together can do wonders for your skin. A Tupperware container with a screw-on lid is perfect Shake it up until its blended together well. Its going to be a cloudy color and really runny. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply 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.
