A Sweet Treat with Honey for The Skin
For the ultimate natural all-round healing potion, try Honey. Thanks to Cleopatra’s milk and honey baths, Honey has become a favorite with one and all to be used in beauty regimes. Besides Cleopatra, there were other beauties from the past who swore by honey being an indispensable ingredient in beauty treatments.
Pollution, dirt, and other chemical agents in the air make the skin lose its ability to retain water, making it look dry, wrinkled, and aging the person a bit earlier. The natural hydrating and antioxidant properties of honey trap and seal the moisture, rejuvenate the skin, and cleanse the complexion, leaving it soft and supple. Honey in its purest form is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin. Beauticians suggest using honey abundantly for a radiant complexion. Skincare products like baths, shower gels, face creams, skin lotions, moisturizers, body scrubs, and even newborn products contain pure honey.
Treat yourself to some simple natural skincare remedies with honey at your home:
- For soft and supple skin in the bath: Add ¼ cup of honey to your bathwater.
- For dry skin: Mix 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and ¼ tsp of lemon juice. Pat it on dry areas of your skin, leave for 10 minutes, and rinse with water.
- Moisturizing mask: Combine 1 tsp of honey, 1 egg yolk, ½ tsp almond oil, and 1 tsp yogurt. Apply on your face, neck, and other parts of your body. Leave for 15 minutes and rinse off with water. Your skin will feel moisturized and polished with tightened pores.
- For silky-smooth skin: Mix ¼ cup of honey and 3 tsp of rosewater. Apply to face and neck, avoiding sensitive areas around the eye. Massage well and rinse with lukewarm water, enjoying the sensation of an entirely different skin.
- To open and close pores: Place a cloth dipped in warm water on your face. Smear honey on your face for 20-30 minutes. Rinse first with warm water and then cold water to close the pores.
- For refreshed and rejuvenated skin: Indulge your skin with a paste of 1 tsp of honey, 1 egg white, 1 tsp glycerin, and flour. Smooth it over your face and throat, leaving it on for 10 minutes, and then washing it off with warm water.
- Excellent baby bath: Mix 4 tbsp of whole milk powder and 2 tbsp of honey.
