A perfect cleanser

It might be time to dodge your daily face wash. Antioxidants, antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey make it a go-to for fighting acne. It’ll open your pores and get rid of ugly blackheads while keeping your skin hydrated all day long. 

Just wet your face with warm water, use about a 1/2 teaspoon of honey and massage it onto your face in circular motion. Massage it for 30 seconds before rinsing it off and continue with your skin-care routine. 

Honey is a natural exfoliator

Say goodbye to irritated and itchy skin by using a honey face mask to gently exfoliate. You can also combine other remedies like avocado, lemon or apple cider vinegar to upgrade the routine.

To try it yourself, start by cleaning your face before applying whatever you choose to do.  Spread a thin layer of honey over your skin and leave it on for 8 to 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and pat your face dry. Use it once or twice a week for better results.
