Honey is a popular product in home cosmetology. This is not surprising, because it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals, which have beneficial effects on the skin and hair.
Using masks made of honey for hair, you can accelerate their growth and even stop hair loss. Want to have luxurious curls, supple and shiny? Then do not be lazy to look after them. Any hair longer than four centimeters needs additional nutrition. They simply cannot "feed" themselves completely. Apply hair masks once a week. To do this more often there is no need.
Homemade masks made of honey are prepared immediately before use. Keep them not worth it, they lose their valuable properties.
The recipe for our mothers and grandmothers is a mask with an egg, honey and olive oil. Mix the yolk, a couple of spoons of honey, the same amount of oil and apply to the hair. Wrap with a towel and leave for at least an hour. Wash off with shampoo and rinse with nettle infusion.
It should be noted that not everyone likes the combination of oil and honey in cosmetic masks. After such a mixture, it is rather difficult to wash the hair, besides, it is more suitable for dry and normal hair (for greasy instead of oil it is better to use cognac). But as practice shows, combining honey with other components is completely optional. It can be used as an independent care product.
Honey has a pronounced softening, tonic and moisturizing effect. In addition, the composition of this product is an effective cosmetic cocktail of nutrients and minerals. Therefore, honey masks are widely used in the care of face and body skin . They are especially indispensable for aging skin. If you began to notice age-related changes on your face, then it's time to take a course of home cosmetic procedures.
The mask with honey and cucumber has a noticeable lifting effect, whitens the skin, tightens pores. To make it, you need to mix vegetable juice with honey and add a little starch or flour.
To make your skin look pink and smooth, treat it with the following composition: whipped protein from one egg, a spoonful of honey and lemon juice. For a more convincing effect, it is recommended after such a mask of honey to apply another mixture to the face - from yolk and vegetable oil. The duration of two procedures is 40 minutes.
As you know, retinol and tocopherol are excellent antioxidants. Due to this property, they are often used in anti-age cosmetic products. However, why pay decent money for the fact that in any pharmacy is worth a penny. Natural masks with honey and cottage cheese, in addition, are much more beneficial for the skin than a “cocktail of chemicals” packaged in beautiful jars.
To prepare the composition for a cosmetic mask, purchase vitamins A and E. from the pharmacy. They are produced in oil solutions. Mix a small amount of cottage cheese with a spoon of honey, drip a couple of drops of tocopherol and retinol, and use as quickly as possible.
From honey, you can make not only cosmetic masks, but also lotions, creams. It is best to use them before bedtime, due to the sticky consistency. However, this is how they work even more efficiently.
For sensitive skin, a lifesaver will be a lotion based on a decoction of linden blossom or chamomile with a small amount of honey (about 0.5 tsp per glass). You can store it in the refrigerator, using ordinary glassware with a lid.
A scrub of honey and coffee grounds helps make the skin more elastic. For greater effectiveness, add grapefruit oil, about a teaspoon.
If you have time, leave the scrub on the body for a while. You can lie down, wrapped in a sheet and a warm blanket.
I would like to add that masks with honey and aromatic oil are not suitable for sensitive skin prone to irritation.
