Beneficial Properties Of Honey For Your Skin And Hair Honey Beauty Recipes

Natural honey is one of the most valuable foods, rich in substances that nourish all your body in a natural way. It can be a great natural cosmetic that will take care of your skin and hair. What makes it so valuable? Honey contains natural vitamins: A, B, D, K, E, PP, saccharides, proteins, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and lots of natural enzymes. Thanks to all those substances, honey helps to make your skin soft and glowing. To try beneficial properties of natural honey, you may like to try some of those homemade honey recipes: Nourishing Facial Mask With Honey: Mix one tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of cream and one egg yolk until you receive a smooth paste. Apply the mask to a clean face and neck gently, leave for about 20 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. For better skin healing effect, you can rinse your skin with natural camomile brew before and after applying the mask (Tips: always use fresh camomilla brew. Especially, you should not rinse your face "after the treatment" with the same brew you cleaned up your face before applying the mask, since it already may contain some bacteria and toxic substances that the brew has previously taken from the skin surface). To Rebuilt Damaged Hair: Mix a little bit of honey with olive oil and apply it to you hair, especially to the split ends. Leave for 30 minutes, then shampoo hair twice. If you will still feel your hair greasy because of the oil, you may like to apply the shampoo three times (more: olive oil for soft hair ). Luxury Milk & Honey Bath To smoothen your body skin and deeply relax in the bath, add few spoons of honey, few glasses of milk and few drops of vanilla essential oil to your bath. You can vary the proportions according to your preferences. Remember to take a shower before you take a relaxing bath in order to clean your body and to get rid of sweat, dust and toxins. By taking a shower before, you simply prevent your skin from absorbing those harmful substances and facilitate the absorption of healing substances that milk and honey bath contains.
