Ways You Can Use Honey for Skin Care

Last time we took a look at which honey is best for skin. This time we will discuss in what ways it can be used. Recall that honey can heal skin problems without taking any help from anything. So we will first focus on that and then we will head to learning about how it can be combined with other ingredients to make face pack.

1. Honey as cleanser: To use honey as cleanser, you can basically put in your palm and then just apply it to your face, massage softly and then wash off. This a great alternative to face wash that contains no antibacterial properties. However, honey is not going to clean off the dirt from your face. So it is always best to use the face wash first.

2. Honey in solo form: To use honey as a solo beauty pack, you will have to use a brush or napkin. Leave it on your clean face for 15 to 20 minutes and then wash off. This is going to tighten your pores and get rid of acne. One thing you must not do is use a cotton ball to apply the honey. Sure this little fluffy tool is easy to handle, but it is vulnerable to dust. Also it is so sensitive that its little pieces can end up staying on your face with the honey. You can also treat your feet with honey in order to keep them away from fungal infection.

3. Honey with lime: Lime is said to fight discoloration.  Sure you can use honey in lime juice to give your beauty treatment extra boost. But if you wish you can make a drink by mixing these two ingredients in water. Drinking it in the morning right after waking will help you get rid of all toxin products from your body and skin. This is a recipe that my cousin gave to me. I personally believe that it is best to drink it before going to bed.

4. Honey applied to potato slices: Potato slices remove dark circle. But before you put them on your eye areas apply some honey to their beds. This is actually a simple technique used in many salons.

5. Honey with rose water: Try having this combination in your bath water. Rose water will make sure that your skin is scented and toned. Meanwhile, honey will do the job of killing the skin germs. But do remember that rose water should not be used on sensitive skin.

6. Honey in any powdery or paste like facial pack: Honey can give life to any powdery facial pack made from sandalwood, nuts, apple, mint, cucumber or turmeric. It is one of most luxurious way to beautify and heal the skin.
