Facial Masks By Cher
The skin, by far the largest organ of the human body. It is also extremely sensitive to external factors, such as the sun, and weather. Also emotional influences like stress. If we want to look young and not show the wrinkles of time and stress, we should take care of ourselves.
I will list just a few facial masks you can do at home to help beautify yourself without spending alot of money.
Strawberry Mask
4-5 very ripe, medium sized strawberries
2 tsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. honey
1. Carefully rinse strawberries in lukewarm water, and dry with a clean cloth or towel.
2. In a small bowl, mash the fruit with a fork.
3. Add the cream and honey, and mix well
4. Apply the paste generously to the face and throat, keeping it away from the eyes
5. Leave the mask on for 20 -30 min.
***People with sensitive or sunburned skin could have an adverse reaction to strawberries. Test on a small area first to assess your skin's reaction.

Natural Cures: HONEY LETS TALK ABOUT HONEY
HONEY LETS TALK ABOUT HONEY (Herbal Remedies)
They talk about the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.........but lets talk about what the bees make and how it can help us.
Honey is a great all natural sweetener! Most of us use refined sugar to sweeten our coffee, cookies, cakes and so on. Refined sugar is not good for us, most of us know this, but we use it because its cheap and widely available to us. This type of sugar can cause all sorts of bad things to our bodys, including weight gain and diabetes. If you want a healthier choice try honey, the bees have already done all the work for us. They made it, they filter out environmental toxins and we just package it. As a sweetener you want to use it sparingly though, honey is sweeter than other sugars, so you need less, also it does carry more calories than refined sugar. So you can use less and not gain the weight.
You can also use Honey for a relaxing bath, put about 2 oz of honey in with some lavender oil in with your bath, and relax and enjoy.
Honey can be used for dressing wounds and releif of hay fever, asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. Its a great household remedy!
I want to warn you of this, do not give unpasteurized honey to infants. It has a kind of bacteria that can be very dangerous to those younger than one year old!
Bee smart, honey is helpful, but Bee careful with the young ones!
