In a recent interview, Catherine Zeta-Jones says that she rubs a mixture of honey and salt on her face to moisturize and exfoliate her skin and prevent eye wrinkles. It must be working because her skin looks amazingly youthful, especially for being 39!
Honey is a great natural anti aging product. It’s packed with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals that cause signs of aging. It’s also a humectant, which binds moisture to the skin without becoming oily, making skin softer and more youthful-looking. Honey also has antibacterial properties, so it helps to cleanse your skin as well.
Exfoliating your skin removes the skin’s outer layer, stimulating the skin cell regeneration process. If you try this honey salt rub at home, I recommend using Dead Sea Salts. Not only are they are great exfoliates, but they contain minerals, such as potassium and magnesium, that have detoxifying and healing properties.
To make the scrub, use a couple tablespoons of honey and mix in enough salt to create a gritty paste. Scrub onto your face in circular motions for about thirty seconds, and then rinse with warm – not hot – water. Once your face is dry, apply your regular anti eye wrinkle cream and moisturizer, and enjoy your radiant complexion!
