Spa Treatments at Home (NAPSA)—Few can resist the inner and outer glow produced by a trip to the spa. The soothing, pure powers of honey, used in beauty treatments since the time of Cleopatra, make it easy to bypass expensive trips to the spa and indulge in economical andallnatural pre- and post-workout treats at home. The natural hydrating properties of honey make it an ideal moisturizing ingredient in skin and hair care products. Honey also contains antioxidants, which have been known to protect skin from the damage of UV rays as well as aid in skin rejuvenation. Recipes featuring honey have long been a staple of healthful diets, with recent studies suggesting that the glucose and fructose in honey can help enhance athletic performance. Following are two recipes from the “Sweet and Simple Spa Moments” brochure, created by the National Honey Board.
