Honey mask
I gave you a few honey mask recipes in honey face mask recipes but here’s another quick one.
Honey-Egg white Anti-aging Face Mask
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons of honey
1 egg white
Mix the two and apply to face. Wash off after 20-30 min, using warm and then cool water. This mask should be applied no more than twice a month.
As I mentioned, honey is a strong anti-inflammatory agent and is excellent for any skin type. Egg white here acts as a facial toner that helps firm up the skin and also as an oily skin ingredient because it does an excellent job absorbing all the extra grease.
Again, don’t prepare this mask if you know you’re allergic to eggs and make sure the ingredients are fresh.

Biotin Skin Recipe
The following Biotin skin recipe is based on beer. So you don’t think beer is just for drinking, here’s a quick fact that pertains to skin: Beer is an excellent source of Vitamin B complex, which plays a major role in maintaining healthy skin. One of these vitamins, vitamin B7 or biotin (Biotin vitamin), is often a part of skin care products. Benefits of biotin are numerous: it nourishes the skin and strengthens nails and hair, to name a few. Biotin is good for skin, its deficiency makes skin prone to dermatitis and fungal infections. Dry skin is a possible sign of biotin deficiency.
Beer mask
Ingredients:
1 or 2 teaspoons of beer (the darker the better, as the biotin concentration is higher in dark beers) *Hubby’s Note: they are called Stouts and Porters 
2 teaspoons of jojoba oil (moisturizes the skin)
Mix well and apply on face. Wash off after it dries. That’s it

Honey face masks
Honey face masks are one of the basic facial masks. Honey is available and so healthy that its use in skin care recipes has been recognized as one of the most efficient. Honey is a strong antiseptic and allows for deep cleansing of the skin. This in turn removes impurities from the pores yielding rejuvenated, soft, glowing skin. Honey also nourishes the skin so aside from its use as a skin cleanser (for oily skin) it can be used for dry skin because it adds moisture.
There are around 300 hundred different kinds of honey. When it comes to honey applied to face and body, it can be any kind available at your local food store. Of course, as in any skin care recipes, when preparing honey face recipes, you want to go with organic honey. It might be a bit pricey but so worth it. In case you can’t find it or want to go with the regular brand, that’s OK too.
