Soyan and I were having this conversation, as we always do..
I dont know how we got to it but we did, we started talking bout hair and facial stuff and did you know how awesome HONEY is?!?! well I shall tell you!
Honey contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and therefore is a wonderful beauty aid that nourishes the skin and the hair.
HAIR!
honey to keep your scalp moisturized and shiny - mixing 3 teaspoons of honey with pint of water.
honey for hair growth treatment - 3-6 tbsp. of honey, 1-2 tbsp jojoba oil or olive oil and a few drop of favored essential oil.
and here are a few essential oils that you can use depending on your hair type and what you want.
- Dry or coarse hair: sandalwood, lavender, palmorarosa, or geranium.
- Chemically damaged hair: sandalwood, lavender, frankincense, or geranium.
- Blonde hair: lemon, geranium or chamomile.
- Gray hair: sage, rose, lavender or geranium.
- Hair loss: rosemary, juniper or lavender.
- Dandruff: rosemary, eucalyptus, tea tree or cedar wood.
AND!! it lightens your hair too! so there will be no need to colour your hair anymore! natuaral hair colourant and its cheap too!! everyone can afford it..
FACE!
Apply honey on your face and neck for 20 minutes. Wash it with cold water. Your skin will glow and become soft and smooth.
Mix egg white with honey and apply on the face for 20 minutes. Wash it with cold water. or if you mix it with flour it can be a firming mask!
Make a paste of one teaspoon of walnut powder, honey and lemon juice. Scrub your face with this paste and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash it with cold water
Skin Moisturizer: Just mix 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 teaspoons of whole milk, smooth over the face and throat, and let it do its job for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, and finish splashing with cold water.
Cure for Chapped Lips and Acne: Honey works well on chapped lips and for acne because it has antibacterial properties. I quote Soyan "before bed apply some honey on your lips, leave it overnight, clean it off and tadaa! beautiful smooth and kissable lips!" or... you could just lick it off like i did! you could even use it as a lipgloss! glossy and sweet!
so there you go! i shall take some pics tomorrow if i put the above into action! lol
