Honey Cleansing Scrub: Mix 1 Tbsp. of honey with 2 Tbsp. finely ground almonds and 1/2 tsp. lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

Firming Face Mask: Whisk together 1 Tbsp. honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon glycerin (available at drug and beauty stores) and enough flour to form a paste (approximately 1/4 cup). Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Hair Conditioner: Mix 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup olive oil. (Use 2 Tbsp. oil for normal hair.) Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap; leave on 30 minutes. Remove shower cap; shampoo well and rinse. Dry as normal.

Skin Softening Bath: Add 1/4 cup honey to bath water for a fragrant, silky bath.

Hair Shine: Stir 1 tsp. honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. Blonds may wish to add a squeeze of lemon. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.
