Honey cosmetics... It even sounds somehow magical, delicious. And in fact, this substance has a miraculous effect on the human body: it gives health and beauty. The sweet bee product has been used for cosmetic purposes since ancient times. Previously, only nobles could afford these care products. Now the product is available to everyone - just take it and use it. If you know how to do it right, a honey face mask at home will become a lifesaver for many skin problems.

Our ancestors endowed the product magic power. It was considered wealth, a gift from heaven. People believed that honey rivers overflowed in paradise, and evil otherworldly creatures eat everything except honey, and are afraid of even one of its smells.

Today, the substance is widely used in the food industry, medicine and the beauty industry. Multifunctionality will allow the use of its components in the production of creams, shampoos, tonics, etc.

Almost 80% of high-quality modern cosmetic products contain certain honey components. Perhaps, at your place there is soap with honey or such hygienic lipstick. And for sure there is at least a small container with a food product, which housewives usually stock up for the winter. It is proposed to take it for home cosmetic procedures.

Honey benefits: cleansing, youthfulness and hydration

There are many types of honey. A lot depends on the plant whose nectar was processed by the bees, as well as on the area where the apiary is located. Most often, buckwheat, linden, flower, acacia or chestnut get on our table and, accordingly, in the “cosmetic bag”. Of course, the composition also depends on the type, but the product retains the main healing properties regardless of its origin. So, why is this substance so appreciated, and why is a honey face mask useful?

• super moisturizing. Honey, upon contact with the epidermis, not only saturates it with moisture, but also, as it were, “seals” the pores, keeping it inside. This is an invaluable quality for dry skin.
• Wither protection. Dust, dirt, sun - all these factors provoke the appearance of free radicals, which have a detrimental effect on cells, provoke the appearance of grooves, and bring the aging of the skin closer. Honey is a natural antioxidant. It is able to block the effects of these "pests" and a honey face mask - effective remedy against wrinkles.
• natural cleaning. The product normalizes the fat balance, cleanses the pores. A cleansing face mask with honey is perhaps the most pleasant anti-acne treatment possible.
• Vitamin fortification. The substance willingly transfers to the skin vitamins and minerals, which are rich in itself. Here and ascorbic acid, and "beauty" vitamins - group B. There is folic acid, potassium, iron, phosphorus and many other useful components.

According to reviews, a honey face mask in different layouts is suitable for any skin type and solves the whole range of problems. Even for the skin around the eyes, this is a very gentle option. However, the procedure has contraindications. Such cosmetics are not suitable for girls with an allergy to a bee product. Also, masks will have to be abandoned if you have rosacea: a disease of dilated vessels on the face. Taboo on honey procedures for hirsutism and diabetes.

Five rules of honey procedures

Honey face masks for wrinkles are famous for their effectiveness. There are studies that prove the superiority of a natural product over two dozen industrial anti-aging products.

But you should not run to the kitchen right now and rush to smear your face with a bee product. The fact is that he has a special consistency. It is liquid and sticky, which dictates certain rules when it is used in cosmetic procedures.

1. No hands. A honey mask cannot be simply applied with your hands. You will need a special spatula or brush. The exception is honey scrubs - you can’t do without hands here, but you can use gloves.
2. Hide your hair. It is better to remove the hair under the scarf, since the sticky and sweet mixture will then be difficult to wash off the head.
3. Close windows. If you are making a mask in the warm season, it is better to close the windows altogether or install mosquito nets. Remember how bees flock to honey? It also attracts flies and other insects. The procedure will be unpleasant if you have to brush off the buzzing "guests".
4. Do not boil. If the recipe calls for a warm product, then it must be heated, but not brought to a boil. At temperatures above 80 ° C, the product loses its qualities, it can even turn into poison.
5. Wash off with warm water. Otherwise, the mask cannot be removed. However, after all the same, complete the procedure with a “cold” washing.

Face masks with honey for wrinkles, supporters say natural cosmetics, bring effect only with systematic use. It is advisable to do them at least twice a week. The rest of the time, you can practice honey washing: in the spirit of glasses of warm water, dissolve a tablespoon of honey. This "cocktail" is recommended to use before bedtime.

• 1. Composition and beneficial features
• 2. Methods of application
• 3. How to choose a quality product
• 4. Contraindications

One of the first women who thought of using honey in cosmetology was the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra, famous for her beauty and grooming. She regularly made honey masks for herself, not only on her face, but on her whole body. Many centuries have passed since then, but this valuable natural product has not lost its relevance at all. On the contrary, after careful research, scientists have discovered many new useful properties and applications.

Composition and useful properties

Thanks to his unique composition honey has long been used with great success both in home and professional cosmetology. It is one of the few products that is 100% absorbed by the human body, and also contains more than 300 chemical elements and their compounds, including:

• most known vitamins;
• all vital trace elements;
• organic acids;
• natural enzymes;
• antioxidants;
• natural antibiotics;
• simple sugars.

Some components of this product are able to penetrate cell membranes and be absorbed by the cell without energy loss. That is why a cream or mask with honey is so effective.

Moreover, cosmetic products based on natural high-quality honey can improve not only the appearance, but also the structure of the skin. With their regular use:

• pores are tightened;
• cell division is accelerated;
• moisture is retained;
• pimples and acne disappear;
• cellular respiration is activated.

The skin brightens, is cleansed and rejuvenated, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, its tone is evened out. Particularly noticeable are the changes in problematic skin with enlarged pores, as well as withered and lost vitality, which a honey mask can restore even in one application.

Application methods

Honey brings great benefits to the skin: it perfectly moisturizes, nourishes and even smoothes fine wrinkles. Therefore, a honey mask is often used as one of the elements for various anti-aging procedures. It perfectly improves blood circulation in the skin, and this, in turn, activates metabolic processes and saturates the cells with oxygen.

Thanks to their unique properties honey in cosmetology, and not only home, but also professional, is used very widely. The most common ways to use it:

• for facial rejuvenation (scrubs, masks, as part of creams);
• for body modeling (, cream or mask with honey);
• to strengthen hair (honey shampoos, honey mask).

But that's not all. There are many benefits to eating it regularly. Very popular and effective honey drinks with the addition of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, peppermint. Honey with lemon can be added to green or black tea, but you need to remember that when it is heated above 40C, it loses some of its beneficial properties. Therefore, it must be added to warm tea or a drink immediately before drinking it.

How to choose a quality product

It is very important to choose the right honey for cosmetic procedures. Unfortunately, recently a lot of fakes have appeared on the market, when ordinary sugar syrup with its addition is sold instead of high-quality honey. Not much better product, for which the bees were fed with sugar. It contains enzymes that appear as a result of the processing of sugar by bees, but it will no longer contain valuable trace elements contained in flower nectar and pollen.

Ideal is a product that is obtained by bees living in as close to natural conditions as possible - in apiaries located next to a garden, buckwheat field or meadow. It should be fully ripe and lightly candied. Therefore, a honey mask will work better if it is made from last year's honey. By the way, if it has not yet crystallized, then the product is of poor quality or it has already been heated to give fluidity. By the way, at 60 degrees and above, harmful compounds are formed in it.

When buying honey, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• natural product it is not perfectly transparent, it often contains particles of pollen or pieces of wax;
• it flows from a wooden stick in a continuous stream, which is laid in a serpentine ribbon and remains on the surface for some time;
• the consistency should be homogeneous, and when an incomplete jar is tilted, a thick layer of honey remains on the walls;
• there is no whitish foam on the top layer, and air bubbles in the jar;
• if you drop a little iodine into a spoonful of honey, the iodine will not change its color.
• crystals of a natural product are approximately the same in size and shape.

The guarantee that honey has not been diluted with syrup or heated is the purchase of comb honey. But it is not always convenient to remove it from there for cosmetic purposes. It is better to purchase a product from familiar or trusted manufacturers. Only mask with honey good quality will bring the expected benefit.

Contraindications

But, along with all its beneficial properties, honey has one significant disadvantage - it is one of the strongest natural allergens. The question of what exactly provokes allergic reactions is still open. Apparently, the matter is in the enzymatic composition and its too high biological activity. However, before using it for the first time, it is necessary to do an allergy test. Apply a small amount of product to the back of the wrist or the crook of the elbow. If after 2-3 hours there is no redness, itching or other manifestations of allergies, then you can safely use it.

The honey mask is not used in the presence of the following contraindications:

• pronounced telangectasia;
• pustular rashes on the face;
• too sensitive skin;
• diathesis and skin diseases;
• bronchial asthma;
• diabetes.
