A homemade beauty tip for skincare, the honey face cream works as a pore-cleansing mask. It is taught by food technologist Lázara Batista dos Santos, who participated in a beekeeping training course supported by Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
In addition to learning how to produce honey, course participants received guidance from consultants on how to add value to the product and highlight its qualities as food and for use in health and beauty care. Lázara notes that this is a recipe from popular culture, passed down from generation to generation.
Prepared with honey, which has the property of hydrating, soothing, and healing the skin, and cornstarch, to revitalize and tighten pores, the mask is suitable for normal and dry skin. The recipe is very simple, and once ready, just apply it to a previously cleaned face and wait for it to dry (approximately 15 minutes). Then, just rinse your face with cold water to finish the pore-tightening process.
