Honey, Honey

I have been a long time fan of HONEY. It never spoils, it’s sweeter than sugar, and it’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants. According the wikipedia, it’s the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including water. Amazing! I really think this ingredient is highly overlooked when it comes to using it in beauty products as it proven to be able to attract and absorb moisture. So here’s out first of a four-part series on HONEY and beauty products that get it:

Winnie The Pooh Approved

Honey has to be one of my favorite scents on the planet and any product highlighting it takes front and center. Need a great quality scrub? LE COUVENT DES MINIMES Honey Skin Softening Sugar Scrub ($28 @ lecouventdesminimes.us) is one that doesn’t disappoint.Lecouventdesminimes_2 This 14.1oz glass jar contains a fine granulated sugar as a base and adds almond, apricot and grape seed oils to not only slough off that dead layer of skin, but also tantalize the nose in the process. And it even comes with it’s own wooden spoon to scoop the product out. Big recommendation.
