You all probably think that I am honey crazed, and you would be correct. Honey has so many benefits and I believe that more people should know about them. Today I'm going to present you all with my favorite honey facial mask. This mask will leave your face supple, glowing, and feeling fresh.
What you will need
2 tablespoon of unpasteurized organic honey (I use nature's promise)
1 tablespoon of your favorite oil (I use coconut oil)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
Directions
There is no need to melt the honey because the oil and lemon juice lighten the consistency. I simply take the mixture, apply it to my face (wash it before) and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture will feel a bit funny on your face, but don't worry this is normal. Simply wash off the mixture and you are done. I only repeat this process about 3 times a week because the lemon juice can be damaging if used too much.
If you're reading this you probably want one of two things. Either you want hair down to your butt or you just want to know what the heck I'm talking about. Well, I'll tell you. I'm talking about the extraordinary vitamin which is biotin! If you are not familiar with biotin, it has numerous health benefits. However most people are just crazy about it because it is proven to grow hair. I can personally vouch for that statement because I have used biotin! Within 2 weeks of taking biotin, I noticed that my nails were strong as steel and I could feel my hair getting thicker. After about two months of taking biotin my hair grew at least an inch maybe a bit more. Now most of you may be thinking that's not a lot, but you have to remember that hair only grows a half an inch a month usually. Biotin works for virtually any hair type, is inexpensive and does more than just grow your hair.
Boost that Metabolism
For those of you out there who are looking to lose weight, listen up! Biotin processes every type of food that you ingest, including carbohydrates, protein and fat. If you have adequate biotin levels, the food that you take in will be processed quickly. So in simple terms, the faster your body can process this the more it raises your metabolism which influences weight loss!
My Blood Sugar Needs Help!
As I mentioned before, biotin breaks down carbohydrates within your body. Keeping your carbohydrates down is largely responsible for keeping your blood sugar at healthy levels. People who have diabetes have actually been described biotin to keep their blood sugars at a low.
The Challenge!
If you've read any of my other blog posts, you know how much I love to challenge myself and you all. For 30 days I'm going to make it a point to take a biotin pill every day and then at the end of it report back to you all. The type of Biotin that I have is Natrol 10,000 MCG maimum strength. LISTEN! 10,000 mcg is the highest level that you can buy. If you are new to Biotin I suggest that you get a very lower dosage and gradually work your way up over time. I personally started at 5,000 mcg. It is crucuial that you start out on a slow dosage because Biotin has been known to cause acne problems, but can be prevented by hydration. The first time I tried Biotin my hair grew wildly, but my face broke out. However, at the time I was eating unhealthy. The second time I tried it my hair grew wildly AND I did not break out, in fact my skin actually cleared up. I'm not saying that you have to choose the biotin challenge, but try a different type of vitamin challenge and share it with me! Remember, challenge yourself!
