October 14, 2004 Honey Bee Day HONEY BEAUTY RECIPES
In honor of 211,600 beekeepers and 2.63 million colonies of honeybees (yes, we're guessing at those numbers). But, no
matter how many there might be, they produce more than
220 million pounds of honey every single year! More than
enough for your cup of tea.
HONEY BEAUTY RECIPES
Hair Conditioner — Mix 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup olive oil. Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes. Remove shower cap. Shampoo well and rinse.
Facial Toner — In a blender, puree 1 Tablespoon honey with a peeled, cored apple. Smooth over face. Leave on 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
Moisture Mask — Mix 2 Tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Skin Lotion — Mix 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub into hands, elbows, heels or anywhere that feels dry. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with water.
Skin Softening Bath — Add 1/4 cup honey to bath water for a fragrant, silky bath.
Hair Shine — Stir 1 teaspoon honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. Blondes may wish to add a squeeze of lemon. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as usual.
