How To Use Honey To Enhance Your Beauty

There are more products than you are probably aware of that we have sitting in our kitchen right now that can be enhancing our beauty. One of the best that you can find is
honey. Honey contains a host of essential vitamins and
minerals, such as:

- Calcium
- Copper
- Iron
- Vitamin B6
- Niacin
- Pantothenic acid
- Thiamin
- Zinc
- Potassium
- Sodium
- Riboflavin
- Antioxidants

For centuries honey has been used as a form of natural
medicine. For example, an old wives tale states that honey
can actually help with arthritis. Honey can be made into a
paste that can heal aching joints, and adding it to your
tea or any food can help reduce the bad cholesterol in your
system, it can sooth sore throats and it can help cure the
common cold. For anyone suffering from digestive issues,
honey has also been known to help treat and manage
indigestion, upset stomachs, gas and diarrhea. Honey is
also believed to be a natural cleansing agent for our
bodies, so it helps flush out toxins that can cause us to
be overweight and age quickly.

hair and use as a rinse to keep it feeling soft and
beautiful.

Honey is also often used for our hair and skin. Honey has
what is referred to as �natural humectants� that help draw
in and retain the moisture in our hair, meaning that it is
a great tool for anyone who has dry or damaged hair. To add honey to your hair routine, you can start off by simply adding some honey to your hair conditioner. The hair conditioner will also help the honey rinse out better than
if you were to apply only honey directly to your hair. The
conditioner will also help allow the honey to better
penetrate the shaft of the hair, allowing the honey to
moisturize and soften the hair.

Honey was used by Cleopatra centuries ago to help soften
and rejuvenate the skin. Honey mixed with milk in the bath

nuts with the honey. Rub this exfoliant over you skin in
gentle, circular motions to remove any dead skin. Rinse it
off, and your skin will be absolutely glowing! If you have
acne, honey mixed with cornstarch will work as a wonderful
astringent that will not only help get rid of pimples, but
it will also kill off the bacteria that causes infections
