When I first started having issues with my skin (i.e. acne and hyper-pigmentation), I bought every product that promised a quick fix. Of course, I found that most of the products do not make a real difference (just wish I realized that before spending all that money, oh well).
I did a little more research and found several treatments, facials, scrubs, etc that only required a few ingredients that I already had in the kitchen. This is when I fell in love with DIY (Do It Yourself). Not only is this method more affordable, but most of the time you are using natural products that have beneficial qualities.
I have seen much more focus on DIY beauty treatments and would like to share some one treatment each week. I have tried so many things, sometimes I love it and make it part of my routine and others times I only try it once.
All the ingredients are easy to obtain, so I hope that you try it and please let me know what you think.
Honey is the most important ingredient in this facial. Honey has been proven to be a natural humectant that hydrates the skin.
This facial only requires 3 ingredients, which will clean and hydrate your skin.
