Honey, it’s time!
Tucked inside your pantry sits the secret to a sweet summer season. Discover how honey is both a natural beauty essential and a multitasking mealtime ingredient.
1 STRAND-NOURISHING SOLUTION
The sweet stuff makes for a great hair treatment. It can help treat spit ends and add gloss to dry tresses, naturally. After shampooing, smooth honey over your hair, concentrating on the ends, and leave on for a few minutes before rinsing. Let those tresses shine alongside that summer sun. 2 SUN-KISSED SKIN Longer days mean more hours of sunshine gracing our faces. Honey is very moisturizing, making it a simple and effective facial wash. Stir a dollop of honey together with two spoons of warm water and massage the mixture onto your skin. Leave on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Your soft and glowing skin will steal the show… all season long. 3 SUMMER-SOFT LIP CARE
A natural, edible salve? Read our softer, smoother lips: yes, please! Swirl a small amount of olive oil with honey and apply before bedtime for a nourishing lip solution while you slumber. Waking up with an oh-so-smooth pucker will set the tone for a sweet day. 4 SOLE SOOTHER
Sizzling temperatures mean more of our skin comes out to play. Prep and pamper those toes with a honey soak: add one cup of honey to 4L of warm water in a bucket large enough for both feet.
Soak for 20-30 minutes to help soften dry, cracked soles. Now… step out with confidence whether you’re slipping on sandals or going barefoot in the backyard. 5 A DELICIOUSLY
