Honey and beauty

Uses of honey for skin health:

• Face mask
  Due to its ability to open the pores and moisturize the skin, honey is ideal for a face mask. Gently moisturize your skin and spread a spoonful of honey in a circular motion on your face until it is evenly covered. Leave it for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it with lukewarm water.
• Marks
  If you are tired of suffering from acne breakouts, honey can act as a treatment, reducing the signs of acne. The natural enzymes of honey will help cleanse the skin and keep your pores clean and its antibiotic properties will prevent bacteria from accumulating and triggering new outbreaks. You can dip a cotton swab in the honey and smear it on the spots you want to treat. You can also mix it with tea tree oil and lavender oil.
• Cracked lips
  Genuine pure honey is an excellent treatment for dry lips, as long as you manage not to lick your lips, because that way you will get it out. Just apply a little honey on your lips before you go to bed and it will be absorbed by your skin while you sleep.
• Dry skin
  Put an end to the discomfort of dry skin with a mixture of honey and yogurt. Mix 1 tablespoon of each and apply on face and other areas of dry skin. After 15 minutes you can rinse it.
• Natural anti-wrinkle treatment
  As honey is a natural moisturizer, it manages to moisturize the upper layers of your skin and adds extra hydration, to improve the appearance of wrinkles thanks to its abundant antioxidants. Honey can also delay the aging process of your skin cells. To further enhance the benefits, try a facial treatment by mixing 1 tablespoon of honey with a little banana puree.
• Nails
  Honey is exactly the right substance for the healing of fingernails thanks to its moisturizing properties. Mix 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Rub the mixture on each cuticle and leave it for 10 minutes before rinsing.
• Exfoliation
  Weekly exfoliation will be good for your skin and honey is the most suitable ingredient for the softest peeling. You can make a homemade mixture by mixing 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. This combination will remove dead cells, while at the same time it will calm and soothe the skin.
