At Home Exfoliant with Honey

 

The anti-bacterial properties of honey can prevent oil build-up in your skin. Pour three tablespoons of honey into a bowl (or whatever the amount you think you need for the body scrub) and add sugar 1/3 of the amount of honey. Apply this on to your skin and rub in circular motions. Leave it for 7-10 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.

Honey is a humectant found in nature; which basically means it naturally draws water from the surrounding and retains it. Simply add some honey to your face and/or body mask and leave it for maximum 20 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.

Honey Balayage for you Hair

Just like lemon can lighten you hair colour, honey can basically change the shade of your hair. Since honey has uncountable shades of colour, you can go for a shade blonder with yellow-colour honey mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon. Or, you can try going for a caramel or red-undertones with amber-colour honey mixed with cinnamon.
