Honey: Recipes for radiant skin!

Because honey contains natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, it is a great natural cleanser, moisterizer, toner and healer for the skin!  I will address how honey can be used as a healing property for burns, ringworm and other skin infections at a later date.  For now, I want to focus on using honey as a beauty product for the skin.  Here are some good recipes for honey to refresh your skin and leave it radiant and younger looking!

Face scrub:

Combine 1 tbsp. of honey, 2 tbsp. of finely ground almonds, 1/2 tsp. lemon juice, and 2 tbsp. of dry oatmeal.  Apply this paste to your face and gently massage and then rinse with warm water.

To rejuvenate the skin:

Combine 1 tsp of honey, 1 egg, and 1 cup of tea glycerin and add flour to make a paste.  Apply to face and neck and let it set for 15 minutes.  Wash off in warm water.

Moisturizer:

Combine 2 tbsp of honey and 2 tsp. of milk.  Apply this mixture to your face and neck and let sit for 10 minutes and then rinse off in warm water.

Add to your bath:

Add 1/4 cup of honey to your bath for silky skin.

Acne:

Honey absorbs impurities in the skin.  Apply honey directly to blemish and let dry.  Wash off in warm water.

I will be adding more of these recipes for beautiful skin in later posts....so keep watching for them!
