Four Essential Honey Masks

I love using natural products in lieu of store bought beauty products, and I love honey! Honey is known for its health benefits but is often underrated for its cosmetic uses.

Honey has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and healing properties that give you healthy skin and hair. It is also rich in enzymes that calm your skin, and draws moisture into the skin. I recommend using raw honey for beauty treatments since it has not been heat-treated and contains the most enzymes.

Tip: If you do not have time for a full mask, use a dab of raw honey as a spot treatment to heal blemishes.

The next time you are treating yourself to a spa day, try one of these all natural masks. Which one is your favourite?

 

The Only Scrub You Will Ever Need

I am always looking for multi-use products that simplify my beauty routine, declutter my make up vanity, and provide a healthier alternative. My latest recipe discovery is the perfect body scrub that takes seconds to whip up.

  1. Mix equal parts brown sugar, coconut oil and honey in a microwavable dish.
  2. Microwave 15 – 20 seconds until coconut oil has melted.
  3. Mix and store in a covered dish or use immediately. Smooth onto hands, lips and dry patches to gently exfoliate and nourish.

* TIP – create a moisturizing body bar to smooth your skin in the bath. Mix 2 : 1 coconut oil to brown sugar. Line a small dish with plastic wrap and pour in the mixture. Let the mould set in the refrigerator and within half an hour you will have a coconut sugar moisture bar.

 

The only scrub you will ever need: brown sugar, coconut oil and honey gently exfoliate while nourishing and moisturizing the skin.
