Sweet and Sassy Beauty Tips: Spa-Quality Uses for Honey
Do you ever think about anything sweet when it comes to beauty tips? I know for sure that I love a great chocolate facial. Then there are the sweet things like vanilla steams, spice wraps and sugar scrubs.
However, all those things are not cheap. The last spa visit I had cost me way over 150 dollars Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments at home. What is the base ingredient for these facials and masques? Of course it’s honey.
Here are just a few home-uses for honey that will have you feeling absolutely luscious in no time:
* Beauty Tips Using Honey #1: Bubbles are great - 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 add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bubble bath, it will help keep your skin very clear. Of course, any time you bathe in any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.
* Honey Beauty Tip #2: Cake it on. - You can whip egg whites, honey and flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. Then smooth the mask on. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.
* Beauty Tips With Honey #3: Just make your own toner. - You can have a great toner by using honey, buttermilk and rosewater and mixing them in an airtight container. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. It will be runny and a cloudy color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.
When making these kinds of treatments, use the best honey. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. You will be able to use this honey for your beauty tips for months to come
