Honey Facial Mask Recipes – August 2010

Honey Facial Mask Recipes:

Honey has many positive skin care properties. The most prominent is that honey is a good moisturizer. Therefore, it is a wonderful ingredient to use to fight dry skin and to help rejuvenate the skin, which leads to less fine lines and fine wrinkles.
Below are some facial mask recipes containing honey. Unless otherwise indicated, apply the facial mask to a freshly washed face and let it sit on the skin for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Pat the face dry with a clean towel. Before using the mask, for the first time, spot test on a small patch of skin to ensure the skin is not sensitive to the ingredients used. Of course, anyone with allergies to the ingredients used in the various facial masks should avoid using those facial mask recipes.
