4 Honey Beauty Masks To Do At Home

Why honey? Honey has always been known to be a wonderful remedy for your skin. Used as a beauty product for ages, raw honey helps moisturize your skin, cleanse your pores, fights aging and bacteria. You could also use it as a gentle exfoliator. Some people also use honey to heal burns, sunburns, and scars. In fact, the benefits of honey have been mentioned in the Qur’an, The Bible and The Torah.

Want to use it at home? Try these 4 home remedies recommended to me by beauty esthetician Alina Cimpoeru during my visit to the Guerlain Spa at The Waldorf Astoria in New York, where I experienced the Abeille Royale Facial Treatment.

Inside a Hive

The Waldorf Astoria New York provides a roof-to-table,

eco-friendly experience to the heart of midtown Manhattan

as six beehives reside on a 20^th floor rooftop space next to the hotel’s rooftop garden,

built with help from the New York Horticultural Society (HORT).

The bees were welcomed April of 2012 in true Waldorf style with a “VIBee Arrival”

and the hives are now home to approximately 360,000 European Honey bees

producing “Top of the Waldorf” Rooftop Honey.

If you have oily skin:

2 Tb of clay powder

1Tb chopped fresh mint

2 Tb organic honey

Mix all the ingredients, apply on clean face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Remove with warm water and a wet wash cloth.

This mask will absorb excess oil.

To tighten your pores:

1 egg

1 Tb organic honey

1 Tb Chamomile flower(tea bags) or freshly crushed

1Tb of chopped fresh mint leaves

Mix all the ingredients, apply on clean face and leave it on for 15-20 min. Remove with warm water and a wet wash cloth. This mask is good for all skin types.

For dry and dull skin:

1Tb organic honey

1 Egg white beaten

Blended pineapple.

Mix all the ingredients and apply on clean skin for 15-20 minutes.

Because of the enzymes in the pineapple, you could feel a little tingling but is normal… These enzymes are digesting the dead cell.

For aged and dry skin:

1Tb organic honey

1 banana

1Tb aloe vera.

Mix all the ingredients, apply on clean face and leave it on for 15-20 min. Remove with warm water and a wet wash cloth.
