cosmetic skincare+ making - When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I like to have a chocolate facial every once in a while. And then there are the sugar scrubs, the spice wraps and the vanilla steams.

All that stuff tends to be expensive. My last holiday spa visit cost me over 150 dollars, and I did not even get a full massage! Luckily, there are quite a few ways to give yourself the same sweet treatments in your own home. The basis for these awesome facials and masques? You guessed it, honey.

Below are just a few uses for honey that will leave you feeling delicious and beautiful:

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #1: Bubbles are great - A cup of honey in your bubble bath leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. Then add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and you will feel like Cleopatra, who once used milk bathes to help keep her skin clear. If you bathe in any edible type products, just make sure you rinse down really well when you are done.

* Beauty Tips Using Honey #2: Use layers. - You can make a wonderful egg white mask using ingredients right from your own kitchen. Then put a hot wash cloth on your face for about three minutes to open up your pores. The put the mask on. Let it dry for ten minutes. Then just wash it off with warm water and love your fresh and youthful skin.

* Beauty Tips With Honey #3: Just make your own toner. - Put a half a cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half a cup of rosewater in an airtight container and mix together. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Shake it up until its blended together well. Its going to be a cloudy color and really runny. Then apply it with a cotton ball for tight and toned skin.

You always want to use the best honey for these treatments. For less than 20 dollars, you can get a good-sized jar of organic honey that has not been treated with chemicals or preservatives. You can use this for your honey do beauty tips for months to come.
