There are numerous benefits of honey.  This natural substance has been used from a tasty delicacy to health and beauty treatments. Honey is a natural, rich golden, liquid made by honeybees and stored in honeycombs.  Honey contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and sugars.

HONEY AND SKIN CARE:

• Fights infection; burns, wounds, cuts
• Antiseptic
• Antibacterial
• Antioxidants benefits
• Anti-inflammatory & Pain Reliever; helpful for arthritis
• Reduces scarring
• Provides acne relief
• Relieves Athlete’s foot fungus
• Safe for sensitive skin
• Moisturizes and conditions skin and hair
• Helps to prevent hair loss

The healthiest form of honey is raw honey. What is the difference between raw honey and commercial honey?  Raw honey is unfiltered. It has textured crystals, particles of bee pollen, honeycomb bits, propolis and broken bee wing fragments.  It is low in moisture and high in antioxidants benefits.  It has a, naturally, milky appearance containing the most nutritional value with the concentrated enzyme, amylase.

On the contrary, commercial honey, found at grocery stores or supermarkets, has been heated and filtered. This process allows a cleaner, smoother, more eye-appealing product to store on shelves for purchase.  When the commercial type of honey is heated and filtered, its natural enzymes are partially destroyed. These enzymes are the natural activators for its vitamins and minerals.  Although commercial honey may have an eye-appealing appearance, it is not as healthful or nutritious as raw honey.

Honey contains healthful, natural, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and C. Its natural minerals include:  magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron, phosphate, copper, iodine and zinc.   Its sugars include glucose and fructose.

There is a natural, heavy, foot scrub that penetrates down deep where the skin is still alive, relieving cracked heels and calluses. This homemade skin care product is a penetrating, soothing, conditioning, moisturizing and pain-relieving, natural, foot scrub.  It is perfectly handcrafted with natural goat milk soap, raw honey and Dead Sea salt. It provides for, absolutely, beautiful feet!

OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS OF HONEY:

• Helpful for bad breath
• Aids in sleep disorders
• Anti-tumor properties: prevents carcinogens
• Boost Immune System
• Excellent substitute for sugar
• Cleansing for body
• Used in alternative medicine
• Delicate aroma
• Aids in digestion

Nearly one million tons of honey is produced, worldwide, annually!  It can be used in a variety of homemade skin care products, hair care products, or commercial products.  It can be used as a tasty delicacy in foods and drinks.  It is used for alternative medicine or natural cures for a variety of ailments. The health benefits of honey are numerous!

Last night I nearly finished off my first bottle of Kinky-Curly Midnight Miracle overnight repair treatment. Instead of doing a long-winded review, I figured I just keep it short and to the point. If you’re a Product Junkie you don’t really need a reason to try this nor do you need to hear a positive review, so just try it. For those of you that need a bit more coaxing, here’s my official review of Kinky-Curly Midnight Miracle overnight repair treatment.


You’ll remember from the Trying Tonight: Kinky-Curly’s Midnight Miracle post, that I first tried the Kinky-Curly Midnight Miracle in April. I now literally have a teaspoon amount left in the 4 ounce bottle. So, it lasted about two months with once a week heavy-handed usage.

Here’s why I liked it and why I think you should try it for yourself…

1. The ingredients are natural and are known to have amazing benefits for hair: imparting luster, preventing hair loss, soothe dry scalp, moisturize and more.


The ingredients in Midnight Miracle Overnight Repair Treatment:
Purified water, cetyl alcohol, palma christi (castor bean) extract, holy basil (tulsi) extract, sandalwood, fenugreek, soy protein, hops, meadowfoam seed oil, silk protein, aloe vera extract, yucca extract, dead sea salt, saponified coconut oil, and phenoxyethanol.


2. Midnight Miracle is fun to use. In the past I’ve used a face cleanser in foam form and it was fab and Kinky-Curly Midnight Miracle was no different. I have also used similar products to set my hair. It’s just something about the foam that makes it fun.


3. Midnight Miracle is different. I’ve never tried any deep treatment like this before. You don’t have to use heat and you can just apply before bed on dry hair. Midnight Miracle is super lightweight. You know how some deep conditioners feel heavy when you put them on? This is so not that! It’s something I hadn’t noticed or even cared about before, but I kind of prefer the lightweight feel now over the thick heavy texture. I’m still a Conditioner Junkie so I won’t exclusively use foam deep treatments. I will forever feel the need to saturate my hair with copious amounts of thick gelatinous creams, but this definitely showed me an alternative. I kind of wish more deep treatments would be made in foam form. It would make my life so much easier.


4. Midnight Miracle is no mess. Sleeping in this is a lot less messier than sleeping in other deep treatments. So, if you don’t have time to do deep treatments and you hate the mess of sleeping them overnight, this product is for you. It’s also a breeze to apply, much easier than typical cream conditioners.


5. It’s really easy to use. I applied Midnight Miracle on my dry hair before I went to sleep in sections (like I do everything), topped off with a disposable shower cap, reapplied this morning and now I just have it in my hair with the shower cap until I shower again.

6. Instant sheen. The major thing I noticed about using Midnight Miracle was that it gave my hair instant sheen. I saw a difference upon first application. The first time I used it, I was rocking a blowout for my quarterly updates. The first thing I noticed was how shiny it made my hair and also how it made my curls pop back. I guess you could owe much of this to the consistency. Honestly, you can’t really evaluate those properties when using a thick heavy cream conditioner, but that was a major reason why I liked Midnight Miracle. It was subtle, but I noticed.

I don’t know if this is the end all be all of deep treatments, but I liked it. If you’re looking to treat yourself and want to try something new, different and fun — try Midnight Miracle. It’s $22 on kinky-curly.com.


Feel free to ask me any more specific questions about my experience with Kinky-Curly Midnight Miracle in the comments. In case you’re wondering, it kind of smells like tap water, honey, syrup and aloe in the bottle (not really a positive), but then I could barely smell anything once it was in my hair or once it was in foam form.

Moroccan Oil offers a versatile range of products that treats tresses and tame frizz and rejuvenates dry and damp hair. It is a great product that does multi-tasks on your hair maintaining the healthiness and shine of your hair. If there is one thing that one should do every day, it is applying Moroccan Oil. It makes your hair feel softer and it smoothes everything out making styling much, much easier.

Moroccan Oil presents a flexible range of uses. Expert hairstylists apply Moroccan Oil on the hair both before and during color treatment, since it has been shown to improve and prolong color. It also possesses deep conditioning benefits that lessen frizz and increase elasticity. At home, you can massage it throughout clean, damp hair before styling. Highlighted hair will naturally require more oil than natural hair, but a little does go a long way. With a enduring fragrance that is not overpowering, Moroccan Oil smells so pleasurable that it can stand alone as a simple hair perfume.

Moroccan oil combines traditional methods with modern needs and technology. It rejuvenates hair and brings new opportunities to stylists and salons. For centuries Argan oil has traditionally been used by women in Morocco to take care of hair and nails in order to neutralize the effects of the hot climate and aging. Moroccan oil provides the much needed nutrients and makes the hair smoother and easier to manage without making the hair oily.

What makes Moroccan Oil a multi-tasking product is that in addition to adding up instant shine and taming frizz, the product also conditions and defends hair against heat. In fact, one of Moroccan Oil’s recommended uses is to apply the product before coloring and then combining the product into the color mixture. This is said to help the hair shaft take in the color or bleacher easier; enhance shine, elasticity and depth of color.

Known as a luxury hair product Moroccan Oil Hair Products are being used in stage and film and have turned into very fashionable among the stars. The complete Moroccan Oil line consists of not only the popular Moroccan Oil Hair Product but also a complete treatment line of hair all designed to repair and heal. Several of the other popular products from the Moroccan Oil Hair Products line include; Intense Hydrating Mask, Moroccan Oil Treatment, Intense Curl Cream, Hydrating Styling Cream, Restorative Hair Mask, Gold Glimmer Shine, and the Intense Hydrating Mask.

To use Moroccan Oil, you apply a small amount to damp hair then style hair as normal. The key in here is to not be heavy handed because just a little Moroccan Oil leaves a very long way. The Original Oil Treatment is a powerful antioxidant that defends, nourishes and strengthens hair. Softens thick unmanageable hair and restores shine and softness to dull lifeless hair. Instantly absorbed into the hair, Moroccan Oil will help get rid of frizz, speeds up styling time and provides long-term conditioning to all hair types. Moroccan Oil contains a exclusive formula that strengthens weak hair while promoting healing to the hair.

Having so many benefits for our health and our body, Moroccan oil is becoming one of the great products in the market with its great miracles.
