4 Simple Ways In Which Honey Can Solve Dry Skin Problems

1. Facial Scrub:

Most face washes available in the market have honey as a major constituent. Now you can make your own facial scrub at half the price in the comfort of your home.

• For this you’ll need olive oil, fresh lemon juice, brown sugar and honey.
• Whip up a moderately thick mask out of these ingredients in a bowl
• Apply a thin layer on your face.
• This mask will be a lot less abrasive and will slowly remove dead skin to reveal younger and brighter looking skin.

2. A Stronger Exfoliator:

If you suffer from very dry and flaky skin then you need to depend on an exfoliator that can remove dead cells gently and yet not harm your skin.

• Combine 2 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of honey.
• Mix this well and apply the paste to your face and other dry problem areas.
• Leave the mixture on for a good half hour before you rinse it off.
• Warm the mixture before application to easily rub off dead cells.

3. Natural Moisturizer:

Honey is super hydrating and does wonders to dry skin.

• Add honey and a few tablespoons of Shea butter, whipped or melted.
• This is a great moisturizer that can be applied from head to toe.
• Alternatively, drop two tablespoons of honey and cocoa butter into a bowl.
• To this add 2 drops of bergamot oil and one single drop of lavender oil.
• Mix the ingredients well till they blend into each other.
• Once the mixture is ready slowly apply it onto your face and other affected parts of the body.
• If you wish to use this mixture for your entire body you may need to make larger quantities.
• Keep any remaining mixture in a bowl and cover it with a lid.
• The paste may solidify so simply microwave it for the next application!
• Make sure you use this mixture after a bath on clean and dry skin!
• Leave the mixture on for just about 20 minutes, before washing it with a mild face wash or plain water.
• Honey will lock in the natural  moisture in your skin leaving it feeling fresh and soft to touch.
