What if you could have beautiful skin, without spending hours away from home, and hundreds of dollars? Most dermatologists will tell you that natural skin care products are best for your skin. And now you can make them at home.
Honey is a key ingredient in most of the following holistic skin care recipes. Honey is loaded with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-microbial and anti-bacterial agents that promote healthy cells and cell membranes resulting in plumper, healthier, younger looking skin.
Moisturizing And Exfoliating In The Bath
One of the kindest and healthiest things you can do for your skin is take a long, warm milk and honey bath. Add ¼ cup each of honey and milk to a warm bath, and treat yourself to the best-kept natural skin care product that has been in your home along.
Another natural skin care product that you can make at home is a honey body scrub. For this you will need to do a little preparation in advance. You will need the following ingredients: ¼ cup ground coffee, ¼ cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons wheat germ, 2 tablespoons of honey, grape seed oil and an egg white. Blend together the buttermilk, honey, a drop or two of grape seed oil and an egg white, then slowly blend in the ground coffee and wheat germ. Pat this all over your body, let it dry, and then rinse completely and pat dry. Many people do this just before a bath.
Homemade Facial Toner And Mask
No collection of natural skin care products would be complete without a facial toner and facial mask. Both of these natural skin care products are made with honey.
For the honey facial toner, blend one tablespoon of honey with on peeled and deseeded chopped apple. Apply this mixture to your face. Leave it on for at least 15 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. Your face will look and feel like a million dollars.
If a facial mask is part of your weekly routine, try this homemade natural skin care product. Mix 2 two tablespoons milk with 2 tablespoons honey, and apply to your face and throat. Leave the mixture on for 10 to 12 minutes than rinse off with warm water and pat try.
Great skin care doesn't have to take a lot of time and doesn't require a lot of money. Natural skin care products are as close as your cupboard. What's in your cupboard?
