Dry skin care: honey helps

Honey is good for you — all of you, including your skin. Many skincare product manufacturers add honey to their products, because honey is a natural moisturizer. It draws water out of the air, so that your skin looks and feels fresh.

I’m a Burt’s Bees addict. I have many of their products, and find that their hand creams are wonderful, especially the Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme.

Here’s an easy recipe for a facial skin care honey mask. If you have extremely dry skin, triple the quantities, and use the mask as a body scrub.

Facial skincare rescue: honey and oatmeal mask

If your skin tends to redness, or is very dry, this mask will help. Take a tablespoon of honey, and a tablespoon of oatmeal, and mix. Apply to your skin, and leave it for ten minutes (lie down and rest while the mask works.)

Rinse off with a facecloth and warm water.
