Home: The Honey Tap Facial

The Honey Tap Facial is relaxing.  The honey acts as a humectant.  In everyday language, honey promotes the retention of water--moisturizing your skin.  Honey  has another unique property on the skin...it feels warm and soothing.  The Honey Tap is a great way to use honey that may be too strong or has a flavor you don't care for.  This is best done while in the tub...or at least in the bathroom.  (It can be a little messy!)  Any honey can be used...and yes, I do use honey of all kinds and varieties.  For the honey tap, though, inexpensive honey is just fine!
 

• Make sure you pull your hair back...nothing is worse than honey in your hair. 
• Cleanse and dry your face.
• Once the honey is smoothed over your face, it will feel warm and "drippy".  Your skin temperature will "melt" the honey. 
• Begin tapping your fingers like you are typing all over your face. 
• The honey will become increasingly tacky.
• Tapping too long will pull the skin too much, becoming red and sore...go easy.
• A warm rinse and the honey has done it's work!

Note: If you haven't used a particular honey before, you may want to spread a little on the inside of your wrist and wait a few minutes, to make sure that you are not allergic to it!!
