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.

So many people will think that I have gone off the deep end after reading that title, well you're very wrong. I literally put honey in my eye and here is why. Raw, organic honey mixed with water is filled with essentials that your body needs. It is proven to moisturize your eyes and improve your overall eye health. Here are some more benefits of putting honey in your eye. 

Have an eye infection?
 
Honey is filled with antioxidants and has osmotic properties. Because of this it has the ability to clear up eye infections naturally. 

Dry eyes?

As many of us know, honey is a natural moisturizer. Personally, I use it in many facial masks and even deep conditioners. Honey does the same exact thing for your eyes. It lubricates your eyes naturally, making them shinier and leaving the whites bright.

Want lighter eyes?

Long term use of the honey and water eye mixture has been proven to lighten your eye color. 

Convinced? Here is how you make it

Boil a very small amount of water then add the honey. Make sure the honey is raw, and organic. LET THE MIXTURE COOL. Empty a store bought eye dropper and suck up your mixture. I prefer to keep the amount of honey lower because it can sting a little bit if there is more honey than water. I hope you guys find this very useful!

Sugar scrubs have always been a popular beauty product. However, they can be a bit pricey and may contain chemicals that you don't want on your body. About a year ago I began researching some healthy and more naturals ways to make beauty products. One that I loved was the brown sugar facial and body scrub. Since I loved it so much I thought you all would love it to! I have a few different recipes that I make for different purposes so here they are!

Back to the Basics

2 parts of brown sugar to 1 part of your favorite oil. I use coconut oil because it smells yummy and plus it's light. You can also add a half a teaspoon of another essential oil just for extra moisture.

For those dark spots and acne scars

I love this recipe because it cleared up the few dark marks I had for acne scars. This is another simple recipe that only requires brown sugar, half the amount of our favorite oil and a few drops of lemon. I like to use fresh lemon, but any lemon juice will work. WARNING: Do not use this recipe everyday. I only use it about three times a week because the lemon can be damaging to the face if over used.

Oooo Tingly!

I really love this recipe especially if you are a person who loves the tingle of peppermint. This recipe like the others requires 2 parts of brown sugar to 1 part of sweet almond oil and a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Not only does this smell delicious, but it promotes circulation of the body which is always good!

These are just a few recipes that I love to use to make my sugar scrubs. If you want further instruction on how to make them, or how to use them use the links below. Happy Scrubbing!
