“Whatever can be put into your mouth can be put on your skin or hair.”

Honey smooth ens and softens your hair. It retains moisture in the hair. You can use honey in place of a conditioner. After shampooing your hair, let your hair air dry till it becomes just damp. Then, partition your hair into various sections and apply Running Honey on those sections concentrating on the ends. Let it stay for 30 minutes – 1 hour and then, wash off your hair. Your hair becomes more bouncy and lively.
You can also use honey as last rinse. Mix a table spoon or two with water and them pour it on your hair as a last rinse. Do not wash off. Let it air dry.

I am posting here a recipe for a homemade face mask. It must be prepared fresh every time as it contains fruits and should not be stored.
Ingredients:
– 1 very ripe banana
– 1 cup milk / yogurt / milk cream
– 1 cup warm honey
Mash the banana and blend all the ingredients to make a smooth puree. Apply the puree onto your face. You can apply some 5 layers. Make sure that the mask is thick and does not drip. Keep it on for 15-30 minutes. Remove the mask with help of a wash cloth. Wash your face number of times with water of varying temperature. Pat dry and moisturize. Your skin would be smooth, supple and glowing. You can add various other ingredients as per your choice.
