Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If your face feel moisturized after cleansing with the avocado
leftover from guacamole, then the next thing you need is honey, which is a great moisturizer for the skin on the
face. No wonder Cleopatra took baths in milk and honey! Though these claims haven't been fully proven, honey
may also have antioxidant properties, which means it can protect from the sun's harmful UV rays, and
anti-bacterial properties, which means it's great for acne.
By itself, honey can be used as a facial mask. In addition to moisturizing, the honey tightens pores to give the skin a smoother look. Simply cover your cleaned face with a hot, wet washcloth to open the pores, then apply honey to the skin. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
Honey can be combined with a few other ingrdients for a mask as well. For regular skin, mix 1 Tbsp honey, with 1 egg and apply to face as a mask. If skin is dry, simply leave out the egg white and use the yolk only. If skin tends to be oiler, use only the egg white.
As an anti-bacterial acne fighter, simply dab plain honey on the blemish that has been cleaned, and leave on for 10-15 minutes.
Because it is a moisturizer, honey conditions hair. Mix ½ c. honey with ¼ c. olive oil and apply to hair. Leave on for 30 minutes, which seems long, but perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea sweetened with honey. Shampoo and rinse as normal.
