Honey is a natural product and is full of vitamins, iron and naturally occuring minerals, which can restore that youthful glow to your skin and sheen to your hair.

Let's face it, as we get older we all need a little help in making ourselves look as radiant as we used to. Just like everything else on the market, honey probably won't make you look 10 years younger - but it will help to reduce those creases, lines and blemishes to maintain the healthy, fresh-faced look that we all long for.

Equally as important is honey's soothing and calming effects, and using your honey-based face mask in a softly lit room, while your favourite relaxing music is playing in the background is a fabulous way to reduce stress, calm and unwind after a hard day's work.

Whether you want to restore your shiny hair, makes your lips gloss, reduce those lines or just experience a moment of spiritual calm, the ideas here are for you - and best of all, they're completely natural, organic and free!

For a really simple treat, why not make a skin softening bath by adding three or four tablespoons of honey to the bath water and enjoying a silky, fragrant bath that soothes and revitalises your skin.
