Honey is extremely nourishing and can be used by people of all skin types. It has a number of benefits for your face, body and hair. It not only nourishes but also has anti-bacterial and hydrating properties. All you need to do is apply it well and reap in its benefits. Here are some home-made honey packs for you.
To add shine to hair: Massage your hair with a mixture of olive oil and honey. Keep it on for at least 30 minutes before you wash it off with a mild shampoo.
To soothe burn scars: Simply apply raw honey to the burn scar as it will heal it faster due to its anti-bacterial properties. It will also prevent further scarring. Make sure you clean the area before applying honey on it.
To lighten tanning and dark spots: Mix honey and lemon juice in equal quantities and then apply on tanned skin. Let it stay for 15 minutes before you wash the area with plain water. Do this at night or apply sunscreen liberally after this pack if it is daytime.
For glowing, flawless skin: Take a teaspoon of honey and mix it with milk cream (dry, sensitive skin) or gram flour (oily, normal skin). Apply this pack on your face and leave it to dry. Then wash off with plain water.
To get rid of pimples: Mix honey and cinnamon powder and then dab it on the pimple. Let it stay overnight and then wash off the next morning. Do this every night till the pimple vanishes.
To soften rough elbows and knees: Mix curd or almond oil with honey and apply it on your knees and elbows. Let the pack stay for 10 minutes and then wash off with warm water. apply a moisturiser post the pack. This will lock in its effects.
