1Combat Winter Skin

Just mix one tbsp. of honey with one tbsp. of olive oil and a dash of lemon juice and apply to elbows, knees, and rough patches. Let this sit for 20 minutes as a mask for your body. Rinse thoroughly.

Use honey to amp up your moisturizer. You can add a few tablespoons of honey to your moisturizer. If it’s shea butter, shake well and use liberally on dry skin.

2Fade Scars And Hydrate

Honey will supposedly lighten the skin and has been noted to decrease the appearance of scars by increasing healing and regenerating tissues. Skin cells are revived, and turnover is increased. The healing properties of honey are amazing.

Mix one tsp. of raw honey with one tsp. coconut oil or olive oil. Apply to the area with the scar, then place a hot washcloth over the skin, and let it sit until cool. You can repeat it every day.

3Honey Bath Soak

Cleopatra’s go-to was ¼ cup of honey mixed with two cups of milk and a few drops of essential oil. Add to a hot bath. Sit back and relax.

You can keep it simple also by dissolving two tbsp. of raw honey in one cup of hot water. Then, pour the cup into your tub; soak for however long you wish. You can also add a little baking soda to your honey bath soak to further soften your skin.

4A DIY Moisturizing Mask For The Face

Honey is so emollient and hydrating; you can spread one tsp. of raw honey on clean, dry skin and leave it on the skin for 20 minutes, all by itself. Rinse with warm water. For a more in-depth treatment, mix one tbsp. of buttermilk, one tsp of honey, and one egg yolk, then apply to the face (avoid the eyes). Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse.

Raw honey will help boost shine and volume. For an at-home hair mask, mix one tbsp. of raw honey with two tbsp. of coconut oil. Turning your head over, apply it to the hair, from the tips to the roots. Let the mix work its magic for 20 minutes, then rinse well (in a hot shower to make sure that all the ingredients “melt” out). You can substitute coconut oil with olive oil.

5Delicious Body Scrub

This honey almond body scrub requires a little bit of extra effort. Combine three tbsp. of ground almonds, then add two tbsp. of honey to form a paste. Then, just get to scrubbing in the shower.

You can find almonds at the local grocery or grind them yourself if you can. You will have to decide what is convenient for you. You may want to put a drain protector down for this one!

6Soothe Sunburns And Soften The Lips

Honey soothes, protects, and hydrates sunburned skin. Mix one part honey with two parts aloe vera for a powerful, antimicrobial healing ointment. You can use the honey and aloe vera mixture for the body and on the lips gently; however, if you have very chapped lips, you can apply honey directly to the lips and let it sit.

Use the moisturizing power of honey for smooth, youthful hands. Hydrate dry cuticles. Moisturize during an at-home mani/pedi by mixing one tsp. of honey with one tsp. of apple cider vinegar and one tsp. of coconut oil. Rub over each cuticle, letting the nutrients and enzymes heal the skin for ten minutes, then dip into lukewarm water.
