cosmetic skincare+ making – When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I like to have a chocolate facial every once in a while. There is also sweet stuff like sugar scrubs or vanilla steams.

However, all those things are not cheap. I didn’t even get a full massage and my last spa visit cost me over 150 dollars. But you can, fortunately, give yourself the same sweet treatments at home with these beauty tips. The basis for these delectable facials and masques? You guessed it, honey.

Read below for a few in-home uses for honey that will leave you feeling luscious and wonderful in no time:

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #1: Bubbles are great - If you want really soft and smooth skin, just add a cup of honey to your bubble bath. If you want an extra glow to you skin, exfoliate with a loofah while in the tub. Then add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and you will feel like Cleopatra, who once used milk bathes to help keep her skin clear. Of course, any time you bathe in edible products, be sure you rinse off really well when you are done.

* Honey Beauty Tip #2: Cake it on. - An egg white mask can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a small amount of flour or unsweetened cocoa together to make a really thick paste. Heat your skin with a hot cloth for 3 minutes to open up your pores. Smooth the mask over your face. Relax for 10 minutes. Your skin will be beautiful when you wash off the mask.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #3: Create your own silky-skin toner. - You can have a great toner by using honey, buttermilk and rosewater and mixing them in an airtight container. A Tupperware with a screw-on lid works great. Shake together until thoroughly. It will be runny and a cloudy color. Dab a cotton ball in it and apply for tight, toned skin.

When making these kinds of treatments, use the best honey. You just need a good sized jar of organic honey, which is less than 20 dollars, that hasn’t been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You will be able to use this honey for your beauty tips for months to come
