Herbalists have touted honey for centuries because it helps skin retain moisture and is thereby rejuvenating and softening. Take 2 tsp honey, 1 cup very hot water and a few drops pure essential oil, if desired. Dissolve the honey in the water. Add essential oil, if desired. Pour the mixture into the bath water. Makes 1 cup, enough for one bath.
