Want
an easy and cheap mask that will leave your skin glowing? Try honey!
It's not only good for Pooh bear, but good for your skin too :)
Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture, and is also great for soothing sensitive skin.
Be sure to test if you have any allergies, and for best results use
unpasteurized, raw unfiltered honey - pasteurization is a high heat process destroys a lot of the nutrients in honey. You can usually find raw honey at the farmer's market or health food stores. I bought mine from my local Longo's store in Toronto.
Just apply honey on slightly damp skin, leave for at least 30 minutes ( or
longer if you like). It will rinse away clean to reveal glowly,
hydrated and supple skin!
You can also mix it with other ingredients from your kitchen:
- plain thick yogurt, the fattier the better; any Greek style yogurt
will work well ( the lactic acid in the yogurt will gently exfoliate
your skin)
- Cinnamon for breakouts ( 3 tbsp honey + 1 tbsp cinnamon)
