For a superb honey face mask you could just use this neat, plaster it on clean damp skin, lie down and relax for as long as you feel or can!

Then just rinse it off with clean water when you are ready. Your skin will feel softer; your pimples will have started to disappear along with any blackheads because honey for the skin is very healing.

Try to use this frequently because it can turn back time helping your skin stay young and lets face it we all tend to search for the magic ingredient that can do that.

Honey skincare is truly amazing. There are no limitations to making your own homemade beauty product as long as you use only natural ingredients.

You just don’t need all those chemicals in most beauty products which can be quite damaging to the skin. Honey beauty is also fantastic as an anti-aging-food helping the process of turning back time and melting away some of those years gone by.

If you suffer with dry, flaky lips honey skincare will heal this for you, wind, rain or shine won't stand a chance with honey.

I never think it a good idea to go outside covered in honey for fear of being stung but if you smear this on overnight and rinse off in the morning your problem will be relieved very quickly.

You could add melted bees wax to this and pop it in a nice little pot with a lid and keep it in the fridge.

Honey Skincare for
Hands and Nails

After a few days any nail fungus will be gone and your hands will be so soft and lovely………oh what benefits there are for using honey for skin.

There is a lovely recipe for homemade honey soap below which will help considerably with most beauty benefits of the skin using honey.

For your Teeth

Honey kills infections, it does not cause them it is a natural anti-bacterial agent and this will block any oral infections and bacteria.

Superb for sore gums and mouth ulcers. There are many Propolis based toothpastes and mouthwashes on the market now but you can make your own.

All you will need is a bottle of fresh spring water, add a dollop of good honey (don’t forget…….raw or organic), some powdered Propolis and a few peppermint drops if you prefer the flavour all though this is not necessary.

This is great for good dental hygiene and can be used on dentures too. Use this as an effective, chemical free mouthwash to keep your teeth and gums infection free and fresh

Honey for Skin in Homemade Soaps

• Some pure soap (try simple soap) start with a couple of bars and grate or blend them until they are fine granules or shavings

• A little dollop of the best honey you can find and a little Propolis or a Vitamin E capsule

• A couple of spoonfuls of good olive oil

• And some melted bees wax

Pop all the ingredients into a bain marie or glass bowl in a deep saucepan full of water.

Heat all together very gently and stir until the water has reduced and the mixture has thickened and everything has blended well together.

You could add a little colouring agent and even some herbs such as lavender or even some fresh rose petals.

Pour the mixture into some moulds, fancy or plain depending on how you would like them to look.

These homemade soaps will need to cool thoroughly which takes several hours and if you then pop them in the freezer for around two hours they will be easier to remove.

Wrap them up in pretty cellophane and tie with a bow if you are giving them as a homemade beauty product gift for others to try the beauty benefits of honey. They will most certainly thank you.

For Bath Time fizzies
So much fun with honey for skin

One cup of baking soda mixed with half a cup of citric acid in a large glass bowl.

Add some honey and essential oils for perfume. I like vanilla, rose and jasmine myself.

Have a spray bottle of witch hazel ready and as you mould the mixture spray with this until it feels dough like in consistency.

Sometimes you may have to add a little more baking soda but only if the mixture fizzes too much.

Roll them into balls or press into moulds and leave them to dry out for a couple of days in room temperature.

You will love this homemade beauty product. Watch it explode as you drop it into your bath and then enjoy the beauty benefits of honey on your skin in a luxurious bathtime soak.

These bath fizzies are so easy to make and such fun with the kids. Give them as prettily wrapped gits.
