Honey… Make Me Beautiful!

Posted by Sophie on Sunday, February 8th, 2009

One of my favorite beauty regimens – honey sugar scrub.  Honey can be used in many ways for different beauty treatments but I like honey scrub the best!  This homemade honey sugar scrub is super easy to make plus it costs almost next to nothing.

All you need is honey, brown sugar (organic is the best), and olive oil (optional).  Make sure to use raw, unprocessed honey!  Mix all ingredients together until desired consistency.

Works fabulously on my face especially the T-zone for a deep pore cleansing (open up your pores before using).  Please, apply it ever-so-gently over the face… rub slowly… as you melt those sugar grains against your finger tips.

Leave it on your face for a couple of minutes then massage again in a circular motion while applying warm water.  Rinse off!  Time to say hello to velvety skin and bye, bye blackheads!  I do this about once a week.

I also use it as a body scrub in the shower whenever I have dry, flaky skin.  Ahhh, how fantastic for feet & elbows… baby soft!

Not really Miss. Homemade?  Here are my favorite honey scrubs available on the market that get the job done!  And can I say scrumptious!!!

Bliss Me

Pamper yourself or your guests with the bliss sinkside six pack ($25) from NY’s hottest spa.  A perfect gift and a great way to sample Bliss products.  You might find yourself getting hooked with these travel size beauty products… like I did.

What I love about this pack is the refreshing, clean lemon scent especially the face wash which leaves my face squeaky clean… a morning pick-me-up!  I use the Soapy Sap as a bubble bath and it leaves my bathroom smelling fantastic!  I have one pack in the guest bathroom and one for the road.  Can’t live without!
