Honey for skin.

2012-01-10T14:07:00.000-08:00

Honey is a natural antiseptic and many people use it as mask to help soothe and heal their skin. However, if you are allergic to bees, it's probably not a good idea to use this mask.
Honey is superb for healing burns and small cuts. It's also a humectant, which means it helps keep your skin moisturized. Because of all of these amazing qualities, honey is thought to treat acne as well. I mean, it's antibacterial, it helps with wound healing, and it even keeps your skin hydrated. What more could you ask for?
But of course, there is always a catch.

Honey will help clear your skin if your acne is from bacterial problems, but if your acne is from hormones, irritation, or any of the other numerous causes of acne, then honey probably won't do much at all. It could help soothe existing breakouts and heal irritated skin, which could help improve your complexion, but it won't make acne disappear and never come back.

HOW TO APPLY HONEY ON SKIN.

Using honey for your acne is pretty straightforward. You just scoop some out of the jar and apply to your face like you would a mask. Since honey is a bit thick, it helps to dampen your skin a bit or to apply the honey with wet hands to help it spread better. (Sometimes, people like to add honey to home-made recipes, like the aspirin mask.)
If you're using honey for the first time, spot test a small area of your jaw line to make sure you're not sensitive or allergic to the honey. You can pretty much leave the honey mask on your skin for as long as you want, but it depends on how your skin reacts. Most people wash the mask off after 30 minutes.

Yogurt benefits

All that is really needed to make a yogurt face mask is a container of plain yogurt. Apply a layer to the face, let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. Yogurt can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients to make a face mask that provides benefits to the skin.

Refreshes Skin

Yogurt contains lactic acid, which can help to exfoliate and smooth out the skin. Although commercial preparations contain other acids, yogurt can be a soothing substitute for sensitive skin. Leave the yogurt mask on 15 or 20 minutes to allow the acid to loosen dry and flaky skin and dissolve any debris that may be left in the pores.

Drink water: Yes you’ve heard it before, but this works and is as easy as…drinking water. Eight to ten glasses will wash out the toxins from your system, cleaning up your body and face!
Keep your face clean: This is an old one too…but we all know that old is gold. If you have oily skin, wash your face in cool water as often as you can and pat dry. This will prevent clogged pores and blackheads.
Facials and clean-ups only once every 2 months: Do not fall into the trap of frequent beauty treatments. Steaming and applying packs etc on your face too often will tire and disturb the natural balance of your skin.
Home beauty treatments: You don’t have to trust your face to the care of the experts every time. Your refrigerator and green grocer has some amazing skin care products. Some cold milk dabbed on with cotton will instantly refresh and re-hydrate. A slice of chilled tomato rubbed over your face thrice a week will lighten dark spots and kindle the glow. A face scrub of sugar and olive oil will polish away dead skin and oil wells.

Chamomile

Chamomile or camomile is a common name for several daisy-like plants of the family Asteraceae. These plants are best known for their ability to be made into an infusion which is commonly used to help with sleep and is often served with either honey or lemon. Because chamomile can cause uterine contractions which can lead to miscarriage, the U.S. National Institutes for Health says that pregnant and nursing mothers should not consume chamomile. Chrysin, a flavonoid found in chamomile, has been shown to beanxiolytic in rodents, and is believed to be at least partially responsible for chamomile's reputation as a sleep aid. It is known to reduce stress.
