Beauty Tips and Tricks for Using Honey

cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I like to have a chocolate facial every once in a while. 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. The basis for these awesome facials and masques? 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 - When you add a cup of honey to your bubble bath it will leave your skin so soft. Exfoliate with a loofah while you’re in there for extra creamy, glowing skin. If you want to take a milk bath, much like Cleopatra, just add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bath. When you use edible products in your bath, you must make sure to rinse down very well afterwards.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layer it on. - You can make a wonderful egg white mask using ingredients right from your own kitchen. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. You then smooth the mask on. Then wait for 10 minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #3: Create 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. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Shake together until thoroughly. Don't worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.

The best honey should be used for these treatments. 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
