The Wonder Of Honey: Believe This! by guruno1(m): 2:37am On Oct 13, 2009
Honey contains waxes, sugars, and traces of minerals. It is a natural moisturizer, as well as an anti-irritant making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Honey can be found in many of the beauty products you find in your local drug store or favorite beauty supply store. Some of these products can be very expensive to purchase and many of these products can be made at home.

Try some of the following honey beauty tips below. Please be sure not to use honey on your skin if you are allergic to it!

1. Honey mask: Apply pure honey to your face and allow it to set until dry. This will take about 15 minutes. Once dry, rinse your face with warm water.

2. Body glow bath: To moisturize, smooth, and get an all over body glow, keep a jar of honey next to your bath. Apply honey on your skin and pat dry using both hands. While patting your skin, the honey will get sticky and gently pull up your skin. Rinse away the honey when you are done. The results will be great circulation and beautiful, glowing skin!

3. Honey bath: For sweet smelling and soft skin, add ¼ to ½ cup of honey to your bath water.

4. Honey scrub: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little almond flour into the palm of your hand. Gently apply on your face for a facial scrub. Rinse your face with warm water to remove honey scrub.

5. Daily facial cleanser: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little milk powder into the palm of your hand. Apply on your face to clean away dirt and makeup and then rinse with warm water.

6. Shiny Hair: To add some shine to your hair, mix 1 teaspoon of honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and 1 quart of warm water. Shampoo your hair as usual and then pour the honey mixture on your hair. Allow your hair to dry as normal. You do not have to rinse out the honey mixture.

DEFINITION AND USES OF HONEY
WHAT HONEY IS
Bees make honey from the nectar that they collect from flowers, other plant saps and honeydew are
used to a minor extent. The colour, aroma and consistency of honey all depend upon which flowers
the bees have been foraging. Forager honeybees are always female worker bees. The queen bee and
drone bees never forage for food.
After visiting a flower, the foraging honeybee flies back to her nest that may be in a hollow tree or
other natural cavity, or inside a man-made hive. The nectar that she collected from the flower is carried
in her honey sac, a modified part of the gut. Once inside the nest, she regurgitates the fluid and passes
it through her mouth to one or more 'house' bees, which in turn swallow it and regurgitate it. As each
bee sucks the liquid up through her proboscis and into her honey sac, a small amount of protein
becomes added and water is evaporated. The proteins added by the bees are enzymes, which convert
sugars in the nectar into different types of sugars. The liquid travels through a chain of bees in this way
before it is placed in a cell of honeycomb. After the liquid has been placed in the cell, bees continue to
process it, and further water evaporates as they do so. The temperature of the nest near the honey
storage area is usually around 35 °C. This temperature, and the ventilation produced by fanning bees,
causes further evaporation of water from the honey. When the water content is less than 20 percent,
the bees seal the cell with a wax capping: the honey is now considered 'ripe' and will not ferment. The
bees have prepared for themselves a concentrated food store, packed in minimal space that can be
stored until they need it during any future period with no flowers, or winter period ahead. The
honey has been produced and stored in such a way that it will not significantly deteriorate in quality –
it will not go mouldy, and there will be no problem of fermentation during storage.
