Use Honey in the Bath

Tips

  • This is not recommended for regular showering routine.

For soft, smooth skin, slather on some good quality honey while your skin is still wet and massage in. Honey is packed with trace elements that nourish your skin.

  • Make your honey bath, and soak for 10 to 20 minutes. Take a quick shower to rinse your body.
  • Avoid soaking your hair in the mixture. Honey can be great for moisturizing hair, but salt is not good for it. Add honey to your conditioner if you want to use it on your hair.
