For the ultimate natural all round healing potion, try Honey.
Thanks to Cleopatra's milk and honey baths, Honey has become a
favourite with one and all to be used in beauty regime. Beside
Cleopatra, there were other beauties from the past, who swear by
honey being an indispensable ingredient in beauty treatments.
Pollution, dirt, and other chemical agents in the air make the
skin lose its ability to retain water, making it look dry,
wrinkled and aging the person bit earlier. The natural hydrating
and antioxidant properties of honey trap and seal the moisture,
rejuvenate the skin, cleanse the complexion leaving it soft and
supple.
Honey in its purest form is suitable for all skin types' even
sensitive skin. Beauticians suggest using honey abundantly for
radiant complexion. Skin care products like baths, shower gels,
face creams, skin lotions, moisturizers, body scrubs and even
newborns products contain pure honey.
Treat your self to some simple natural skin care remedies with
honey at your home -
- ¼ cup of honey to your bath keeps your skin soft and supple. -
Dry skin = 1 tsp honey, vegetable oil each and ¼ tsp of lemon
juice. Pat it on dry areas of your skin, leave for 10 mins and
rinse with water. - Make a moisturizing mask with 1 tsp of
honey, 1 egg yolk, ½ tsp almond oil and 1 tsp yoghurt. Apply on
your face, neck and other parts of your body. Leave for 15
minutes and rinse off with water. You skin will feel moisturized
and polished with tightened pores. - For the silky-smooth skin,
mix ¼ cup of honey and 3 tsp of rosewater. Apply to face, neck
avoiding sensitive areas around the eye. Massage well and rinse
with lukewarm water and enjoy the sensation of an all different
skin. - Open the pores on your face by place a cloth dipped in
warm water. Smear honey on your face for 20-30 minutes. Rinse
first with warm water and then cold water to close the pores. -

1 tsp glycerin and flour. Smooth it over your face, throat,
