We may not know it, but honey, aside from its delicious taste and its undeniable nutritional values, has other virtues!
Imagine that I discovered, through my reading, that honey could be a real beauty product!
Although we can distinguish different merits depending on the type of honey used (in general acacia is calming, lavender fights sore throats, and thyme makes you digest), they nevertheless all have the same moisturizing qualities for your skin. , anti-irritant and softening.
Since honey is rich in sugar, it binds water molecules to the skin. It is naturally soft, and therefore allows regular use without irritating, it even manages to soothe irritations such as sore throats which can be due to pollution, or to the cold (useful in this particularly dry season). Finally, what is less known is that honey contains amino acids and vitamin C, essential elements to soften and regenerate the skin.
It is very easy to use honey as a beauty product. No need to run to the first beauty salon or perfumer on the corner of your street, all the products you find there would be mixed with others, not all very natural, and especially in a price range that would make your door scream. change from inside your purse.
I therefore give you three recipes, three tips for using the virtues of honey, in homemade masks. It's simple, fast, natural:
To a spoon of honey you add a small piece of mashed banana and a little yogurt (the rest will be used for baby's snack, no unnecessary expense!); spread this mixture only 10 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water.
This time it will be 50g of mixed oats and ½ yogurt that will have to be added to two spoons of honey. Rest time 15 minutes, and always rinse with lukewarm water.
I have an original mask recipe for you. There you will have to use more ingredients, but which are easily found:mix 1 mashed avocado, a mashed cooked carrot, with 1dl of heavy cream and 3 spoons of honey. Leave on for 15 minutes, and always rinse with lukewarm water.
Here you are with soft and rehydrated skin. In terms of savings, do a quick calculation:a pot of honey beauty mask in stores costs between 30 and 60 euros, for about 2 to 3 masks.
Yogurts, bananas, and fresh cream, you always have them on hand, carrots are very inexpensive, and avocado costs roughly 75 euro cents each. It won't cost you more than a euro if you use our homemade mask recipes against at least 10 euros if you buy a cream.
