Why do people use skin lotion?
Cracked and dry skin on hands after washing sink full of dishes? Or any other skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or generally extremely dry skin issues. There could be various factors causing skin problems and there could be endless skin lotions and creams available in the market for you. Are they relieving or alleviating the issues?
We have also read many articles about the benefits of Aloe Vera and Vitamin E on skin but not so commonly about honey being treated to relieve the skin problems and repair skin. The healing capacity of honey is stupendous making it one of the most favourite components for home remedies. Honey contains many good properties like magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium, phosphate etc. It also has vitamins.
Honey is wonderful gift of nature which if taken internally is therapeutic and a great agent for moisturising skin externally due to its properties. The hydration quality of honey helps to retain moisture hence enabling skin to remain soft and supple. It also has natural anti-ageing properties as it improves skin elasticity and smoothness. The presence of antioxidants protects the skin from UV rays.
So let's take a look on few easy home recipes and discover how to use honey as a beauty product and find results in few weeks:-
1) Night serum for face
Jojoba Oil and Honey:- Take 3-4 tspn of Jojoba oil and 1 tspn honey. Mix together and store in a jar. Apply this mix all over face and leave for 40 mins before wash. This mix can be stored in fridge for few weeks. There is no water content in it hence no preservative is required.
2) Skin brightening
Take 2 tspn of tomato juice, 2 tspn of lemon juice and 1 tspn of honey. Apply the mixture with cotton ball over neck and face and leave for 40-45 mins before washing it off. This mix acts as a natural bleach , opens pores and brightens the skin.
3) Moisturising Hair mask with honey :- This mask makes the hair very very soft and gives so much nutrients to the hair. Cut a banana in small pieces, mix 2tsp Almond oil, 1 tspn castor oil, and 1 tspn honey. Grind this mixture to a paste in a mixer. I recommend that to avoid small lumps of banana getting stuck in your hair and then you spend ages pulling them out. Anyways this is ultimate food for the hair.
4) Another very effective hair mask is using coconut milk and honey. Coconut milk has loads of benefits. I have experimented this as I have frizzy hair and sometimes out of control and itchy scalp. I mixed these two ingredients well and applied on the scalp. I did this twice a week. This started showing results in 2 weeks. It not only cured itchy scalp and dandruff but I also found fewer hair fall out and less hair on my hair brush.
5) And let's not forget Lips. Use organic honey and apply on chapped lips throughout the day. Well, anything applied on lips ends in stomach. So, why not apply a natural moisturiser like honey.
6) Acne reliever:- Mix 1/2 cup of warm with 1/4 tsp salt. Use a cotton ball, dip it in this water and apply pressure on the spot to soften. Then apply honey on top and leave it for about 10 mins before washing it off.
7) Honey face scrub:- Mix 1 tsp honey with 2 tspn of ground almonds and 1/2 tspn of lemon juice. Rub this mixture on the face and rinse it with warm water.
So why don't you try some and discover goodness..........😀
