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. Then there are the sweet things like vanilla steams, spice wraps and sugar scrubs.

Nevertheless, all that stuff is pretty expensive. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments at home. The basis for these awesome 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:

* Beauty Tips With Honey #1: Be bubbly - When you add a cup of honey to your bubble bath it will leave your skin so soft. You can use a loofah to exfoliate your skin while your in the tub and it will give you nice, glowing skin. Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and feel just like Cleopatra, who used milk baths to keep her skin clear. Of course, any time you bathe in any edible product, be sure to rinse down extra well afterwards.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #2: Layer it on. - An egg white mask can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a small amount of flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a really thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. You then smooth the mask on. Let it dry for ten minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water and admire your fresh, youthful skin.

* Honey Beauty Tip #3: You can make your own skin toner. - Get an air-tight container and mix ½ cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a ½ cup of rosewater together. A Tupperware container with a screw-on lid is perfect Thoroughly blend by shaking together really good. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. Then apply it with a cotton ball for tight and toned skin.

Use the highest quality honey for these treatments. You just need a good sized jar of organic honey, which is less than 20 dollars, that hasn’t been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You can use this for your honey do beauty tips for months to come.
