Sweet Honey of a Bath Formula
Inspired by Better Basics for the Home, by Annie Berthold-Bond (Three Rivers Press, 1999).
Herbalists have praised honey as a beauty aid for centuries with very good reason. It is a terrific humectant–meaning it helps our skin to retain moisture, making it softer and smoother, and rejuvenating our appearance.
When we invite the golden sweetness of honey into our tub, it becomes a skin-nourishing treat for body and soul. Let the bees show you the way to smoother, fresher-looking skin:
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup hot water
2 drops lavender essential oil (optional)
1. Dissolve the honey in the hot water, then add essential oil and stir to mix.
2. Pour mixture into bathwater and soak for 10 to 15 minutes.

add your comment »This sounds very relaxing, you can also add some dried lavender flowers to the water. It will look very nice and add a special touch. You can also rub the flowers on your skin to add an additional soft exfoliation. One thing, however, you will have a tub to clean full of little purple flowers afterward but it's worth it.
