Two years ago a friend told me of how she
applies honey all over her body as we talked about scars, spots and other stuff
on our skin. She said that honey really improves the skin, so I gave it a try
and the results were almost immediate.
I am a lover of all things natural and of the
earth, I try as much as possible to use organic products and I even sometimes
make my own.
For my face I mix honey, lime juice and
cumber juice (when I have the time to make it). I apply honey and olive oil on
the rest of my body, wait around for 30 minutes then wash off. I have a bath
before I do this just because I feel it’s better to apply this on clean skin. After
the 30 minutes is up, I rinse with warm water and moisturise. I do not put
olive oil in the mixture for my face because I have oily skin.
This process can be very messy and time
consuming but I use that time to clean my room or something, instead of sitting
around mopping LOL.
After two applications I noticed my skin
became supple, healthier looking and moisturised. The spots and scares appeared
less noticeable too;the skin on my face and body had a nice glow.
Honey helps with my acne as well, I believe
it reduces the breakout and helps with the spots. My Saturday morning beauty routine for my
face includes a wash then a good scrub then honey, lime juice and/or cucumber
juice mask (if I can call it a mask) after 30 minutes I wash with warm water and
moisturise.
Honey is also good for deep conditioning your
hair. I apply equal amounts of honey, olive oil and my treatment conditioner,
cover with a shower cap and rinse out after 30 minutes.
