HONEY skin Care
1. Honey-Apple Toner:
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 peeled, cored apple
with a tablespoon of honey and pulse until smooth. Apply mixture to face
and allow it to stay for 15 minutes, then rinse.
2. Honey-Oats Face Scrub:
Combine 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon finely-ground almonds, 2
tablespoons dry oatmeal, and some lemon juice or yogurt to a luxurious
and exfoliating facial scrub. Massage mixture gently onto face, then
rinse with warm water. This blend gives a deeply emollient cleansing to
the pores of your face. Almonds and oats are superb softening
exfoliants.
3. Gentle Honey Cleanser:
Mix 1⁄4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon liquid soap and 1⁄2 cup glycerin
(found in drug stores). Apply gently on to face using a face sponge.
Rinse with warm water and pat face dry.
4. Hot Honey Bath:
Perhaps the easiest natural skin care recipe using honey -- Add
1/4 cup of honey to your hot bath water for silky and luscious skin.
This is especially good for dry skin.
5. Honey Olive Hair Conditioner:
For lustrous, silky, healthy hair and scalp, simply combine 1/2
cup honey and 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup olive oil. Massage scalp with
this conditioner, then put on a shower cap for 30 minutes. Shampoo and
rinse as usual. Good for hair revitalising.
