Honey1 It's really very very sweet. In addition to other benefits, it is also used in beauty treatment. Here is some of the use.
1. Honey has healing capacity and it acts as antiseptic. It is used for treatment of acne. Youghurt and honey act as dehydrating mask, smoothers skin, cleans pores, and banishes brekouts. Mix two tablespoon plain yoghurt and one tablespoon honey. Apply and rinse after twenty minutes.
2. For oily skin, mix one tablespoon honey with egg albumen. Apply over face and wash after twenty minutes.
3. For dry skin, mix few drops of orange juice or natural moisturizer with honey and apply. Wash after twenty minutes.
4. Honey can be used as face mask. Mix cornflour, yoghurt and honey to prepare paste. Use this mask twice a week.
5. To make skin soft and supple, mix few drops of honey in bath tub.
Natural honey has better effect than synthetic.

Can you use honey on it's own, besides in the bath water?
I don't have any of the other ingredients so that's why I'm asking.

Dry, I guess.
I don't use any products, so I don't know for sure. I never even wear lipstick.

Krish, it is good to know that you avoid cosmetics. You must confirm your skin type prior to going for anything. There is a simple method to test your skin yourself. Wash your face and pat dry. After an hour, take a piece of tissue paper and place on your forehead standing straight. If it sticks to your skin, then you have oily skin or if it falls, then take it as dry.
For dry skin try tomato juice instead of orange. Else cut a fresh tomato into two halves. Take one half and a few drops of honey, then roll over your face. Thanks.

Great tips Ronimas. I always use honey when I have a cold or sore throat. I have it by itself like one table spoon in the morning and another one at night before going to sleep. Sometimes I use it with my milk instead of sugar.
But I never thought that you can use it as a beauty therapy! Thank you for sharing these tips with us. I will try them especially the one in the bath tub as it is the easiest.

Thanks Votreamie. You have good use of honey. Is it natural or synthetic one? Do you use pure honey? Consuming honey daily is good, but if you have plan to lose weight or maintain the existing weight, then consume it with a cup of lukewarm water in empty stomach daily in morning. Of course, taking honey instead of sugar is good to health.
