Have you looked at the prices of natural skin care products lately? The growing interest in natural skin care has sky rocketed over the past decade. With the growing popularity of healthy looking skin there is a new buzz; homemade natural skin care.

Don't Call Mary Kay

The best skin care treatments available today can be found in your local grocery store, in the produce section. 200 years ago our ancestors practiced the secrets of homemade natural skin care; long before Mary Kay or Avon came on the scene turning natural skin care into a multi billion dollar industry.

Honey is probably one of the oldest and most often used products in homemade natural skin care, as it has been used as a beauty product since the days of old and still continues to be used today in both manufactured and homemade natural skin care products.

The Morning Buzz Body Scrub

I recently used a homemade natural skin care recipe that includes the use of honey. This recipe is really quite simple, but extremely effective. The ingredients are: 2 Tbsp. honey, ? cup of freshly ground coffee, 2 Tbsp. wheat germ, 1 Tbsp. grape seed oil, ? cup buttermilk, and 1 egg white. Simply combine your buttermilk, honey, grape seed oil, and 1 egg white into a clean bowl. Mix these ingredients thoroughly while slowly adding the coffee and wheat germ, being careful not to allow the mixture to clump up. Make sure to mix until the scrub reaches a smooth and creamy texture, but having just a slight grit to it. It works best to apply this mixture while taking a shower or bath, using a body sponge or moist wash cloth to aid in the exfoliation process.
