How to Use Honey as a Beauty Aid

May 18, 2009


The benefits of honey are well known the world over. While most people use honey for health purposes; we must also note that honey has various uses as a beauty aid as well. It can be used on sensitive skin as it is a natural product and does zero harm to your skin.

Honey makes a great facial scrub. All you need to do is mix a spoon of honey with finely ground almonds and a few drops of lemon juice. Massage this onto your skin on your face and neck for a few minutes. The almonds will exfoliate your skin while the honey will retain and add moisture to your skin.

If you want to moisturize dry skin during winter all you need to do is add a few spoons of honey to your bath water and soak in the tub for a few minutes. It will help to heal the dry skin and leave it silky smooth and soft.

Honey can be used on your hair as well. Add a few spoons of honey to a cup of olive oil. Use this daily on your head. Massage the oil portion into your scalp and then wait for about an hour before you wash it off with warm water. You will not need to use a conditioner after the shampoo treatment as your hair will be left silky and soft after the wash.

As a mouthwash honey proves to be beneficial because not only does it help to improve bad breath it also helps to stop bleeding gums and bacterial growth in your mouth. Simply mix some cardamom powder in a spoon of honey and add warm water and gargle your mouth. This will help to freshen your breath instantly. Use his daily to reduce the risk of your gums bleeding and bacteria growth as well.
