Since before the days of Cleopatra, people have used honey as part of a luxurious beauty routine. Some ancient historians from india believe that humans have used honey for food and medicinal purposes for over 10,000 years.

According to some experts, honey has antioxidant, soothing, and moisturizing properties that can be beneficial to the skin when applied topically. Taking a long slow soak in a honey bath can be a wonderful way to add a bit of spa lifestyle to a daily bathing routine.

A honey bath is created by adding honey, often combined with other natural or manufactured products, to bathwater. There are dozens of recipes for homemade honey bath mixtures, as well as many cosmetic and skincare companies that offer pre-made bath additions with an emphasis on honey. Ayurvedic products may be a good choice for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies, as the maker can control exactly what ingredients go into the mix.
