cosmetic skincare+ making – When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? For starters, I love to have a yummy chocolate facial. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.

But all those things are really costly. The last spa visit I had cost me way over 150 dollars Thankfully, there are many different ways to give yourself some of the same sweet treatments at home. The basis for these delectable facials and masques? It’s honey.

You will feel absolutely luscious in no time when you use these beauty tips that include honey:

* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - Just adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath will leave your skin soft and smooth. Exfoliate with a loofah while you’re in there for extra creamy, glowing skin. If you want to take a milk bath, much like Cleopatra, just add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder to your bath. 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. - Make an egg white masque by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a little flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a thick paste. You must first open your pores with a hot cloth for 3 minutes. Then smooth the mask on. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.

* Beauty Tips With Honey #3: Just make your own toner. - Place a half cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half cup of rosewater in an air-tight container. If you have a Tupperware with a screw-on lid, it will work perfect. Shake up the mixture until it is thoroughly blended. Don’t worry, its supposed to be runny and a cloudy color. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.

The best honey should be used for these treatments. You can purchase a nice size jar of organic honey for less than 20 dollars. This jar of honey will get your through months of these beauty tips.
