Grandma’s beauty recipes for beautiful skin

Antibacterial, healing, nourishing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it has many benefits for the skin that we forget just by eating it. The small size of its grains lends itself well to making a facial scrub and is perfect for softening the skin. Its mechanical action also helps to stimulate the regeneration of the skin to keep it beautiful, soft and firm. We adopt this beauty secret without hesitation by mixing it with a little water or vegetable oil to massage it on the face!

• the honey mask for the face: Just as delicious as sugar, honey is another sweet food that shares many benefits. It is also healing, nourishing, antibacterial and regenerating, and therefore good for the skin. Its real plus? It even allows it to firm up over time and therefore constitutes a clever anti-aging treatment. To have a smooth skin texture and well-plumped skin, simply concoct a grandmother’s recipe with a good tablespoon of honey, which you can mix with vegetable oil, a little yogurt or even lemon juice (for its illuminating and anti-dark spots action) to make a natural beauty mask. Leave on your face for 15 minutes before rinsing for smooth, firmer skin!
