how to make a honey mask



 Honey is one of those natural products that have innumerable benefits attached to it. Not only does it have uncountable advantages for the body but also for the skin.

Where flawless skin is concerned, if you are really looking forward to enhanced beauty and lighter and smoother skin texture then make sure you adhere to at least one honey facial mask in your weekly regime.
This will not only keep the skin clean of acne, scars and pigmentation but also kill the dullness and bring back that lost glow. Its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation properties makes sure that it suits all skin types even sensitive that are prone to rashes and itching.
Honey is a perfect substitute to cosmetic products available in the market which are full of chemicals and preservatives. So to get that natural beauty follow the recipes below and see what wonders it does for your skin-

Honey and Nutmeg Combo

One of the simplest preparations of a honey face mask is to mix in some honey with a tsp of nutmeg powder. Once it turns into a smooth consistency, apply it evenly on the face and leave for about 30 minutes.
Wash off the face after that and pat dry with a clean towel. Not only will it give you the various benefits honey has for the skin but nutmeg acts as a natural exfoliator of the skin as well.
Nutmeg can be substituted with oatmeal. However,make sure you take a steam before applying the mask, so that the ingredients can soak in properly in the opened pores.

Olive Oil and Honey Mask

Honey also makes a great combination if mixed with some olive oil. This facial mask if applied on the face at least once a week will deeply nourish the skin, flush out the dirt and oil as well as bring back that lost radiance.

Organic Honey Mask

All you need for this pack is some good quality organic honey. Once you have the product in hand, warm it a bit until it turns into a thin liquid form. This should be done with the help of a double boiler system. Apply it evenly on the face and neck avoiding any contact with the eye.
Leave this mask on the face for about 20 minutes and then wash with warm water followed with cold. Once you dry the face with a towel, end the regime with a moisturizer to keep the skin soft and supple.

Honey, Apple and Sage Facial Pack

As the name suggests, you will need an apple, some organic honey and a little sage for the mask. For the preparation mix in peeled apple pieces with honey and sage and puree it well in a mixer grinder.
Once it has a smooth consistency, keep it in the refrigerator to chill. Apply on clean skin and leave it for 20-25 minutes. This pack then should be removed from the face using cold water.
These are some of the top most honey facial masks that you can easily make at home.
