Beautify Yourself with Homemade Honey Recipes

May 5, 2009

homemadehoneyIf you are looking to enhance your physical appearance without using expensive and harsh chemicals, then an at home remedy may be just what you need. Natural beauty secrets have been around for centuries, and various recipes using honey existed and helped individuals for hundreds of years.

To add luster to hair, stir 1 teaspoon of honey into 4 cups (1 quart) of warm water. If your hair is blonde you may also add a squirt of lemon. After shampooing, apply this mixture to the hair. Do not rinse. Blow dry the hair, as usual.

For a homemade conditioner, mix ½ cup of honey and ¼ cup of olive oil. Apply a small amount to the hair. Cover the hair with a shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes before removing.  Shampoo and rinse the hair and then blow dry as usual.

To firm and tone the skin, combine 1 tablespoon of honey and one peeled and cored apple in a blender and puree. Apply the mixture to the face and allow to harden. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes before rinsing with cool water.

If you have dry skin, a honey moisture mask will hydrate the skin.  Combine 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of milk and mix. Apply the blend to the face and neck. Allow to penetrate for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

To create a firming facial mask, combine one tablespoon of honey with one egg white and one teaspoon of glycerin. Whisk together. Apply to the face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

To moisturize all over, a smoothing skin lotion can be applied to the entire body.  Mix one teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of vegetable oil and add ¼ teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well. Apply to the hands, elbows, heels or any area of the body that requires extra moisture. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse with water.

Honey is a natural beauty product and can be safely and simply added to your beauty routine. By soaking in a warm bath infused with ¼ cup of honey you will wind up with softened, smooth skin.
