Pros Non-irritating.
Smells/tastes good (if it drips in your mouth!)
Brightens skin tone.
Clears face.
Cons Messy.
Bottom line Mix about two spoonfuls of honey with one spoonful of lemon juice.
Apply to face.
Leave on for 15-20 minutes.
Makes face feel really soft and brightens your complexion. Haven't really seen too much of a headway with acne. Still great!

Pros Easy to make
works on pimples, redness and acne scars
cheap
leaves skin glowing and soft
Cons NONE
Bottom line I've been using sugar and honey every day. The sugar exfoliates my skin so the blackheads I had on my nose are completely gone and it leaves my skin so soft because of the honey. It also helps with scars from previous pimples and it just takes about 2 weeks for the scars to go away when you have been using it every day. I don't know how but it also helps with pimples and it leaves your skin glowing :)

Pros * Actually works pretty well
* Evens out skin tone
Cons * Feels a bit sticky on your face (may or may not bother you)
* Runs just a bit
Bottom line I've been using a honey mask (honey and a bit of cinnamon) for about 5 days now. I leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. After about the second or third day, I started noticing results. And slowly, my acne is starting to go away. I think my scars are fading a bit as well. I highly recommend trying this!

Tip: Melting the honey destroys its healing properties. I usually use this mask after getting out of the shower, when my pores are opened and my skin has been in the hot water. Then you can just use the honey at room temperature.

Pros ツ Softens skin
ツ Fades blemishes/scars pretty quickly
ツ Cheap & homemade
ツ Easy to make
ツ Smells & Tastes good
Cons None ♥
Bottom line I've been using this mask for about ... 4 days. I'm 13 and I've had acne for about 2 years now, and I HATE it. I don't want to go to high school with blemishes on my face. I've tried Proactiv -- didnt work for me. I've also tried Max Clarity Foam -- made my skin EXTREMELY dry. I also have minor acne scars. I needed something that'll fade my acne & scars, and soften my skin. My friend told me about a honey mask, so I Googled it, and found out what other things I can add to it, and now I'm using it as a daily regimen ツ

First of all, it's really easy to make. What I add to the honey is cinnamon, nutmeg, and some oatmeal. Adding oatmeal makes it less drippy. I usually put it on before I go take a shower, so I wont make a mess on the bathroom sink. I usually keep it on for about 15-20 minutes.
Since I began using it my skin is dramatically softer, and my skintone is becoming more even ツ

I reccomend this to people who has given up on finding that one product, to then eventually find out that it does nothing.

Pros Reduces pimples
Reduces redness
Cheap, using household items
Leaves skin soft
Comes off skin very easily
Completely natural
(You can eat it if you desire) :D
Cons EXTREMELY messy
Itches
Leaves skin a tad irritable and red for close to a half hour (I would recommend doing a facial at night)
Bottom line I have been getting really into facials and household remedies that will keep my skin soft and most importantly help with my light acne. I have given myself a lot of oatmeal facials, but they tend to be thick and messy, and I have a hard time getting them off. (They can help skin tremendously, though.)
I have heard honey is great for clearing skin, so I decided to give that a try. I melted honey and added a teaspoon of cinnamon and a few drops of lemon juice. The problem with the cinnamon is that it makes quite a huge mess and turns the mask an ugly color that might stain if it gets onto a material. Melting the honey makes it drip and made quite a mess for me.
BOTTOM LINE: I would NOT melt the honey and would add some lemon juice to get a thinner consistency to help make applying or removing the mask easier. Tie your hair back and wear a ratty shirt either way (in case of accidental dripping). Leave the facial on for fifteen minutes and then scrub clean with a damp washcloth. Rinse simply with cold water to cleanse.
You will not regret using this facial mask because it softens skin, reduces redness, and really decreases the amount of pimples you have OVERNIGHT. The ingredients are very simple, and even if all you have is honey, it works wonders by itself.

Pros *lessens redness
*moisturizes
*leaves skin soft and with a bit of a glow
*helps fight acne(to a degree)
*repairs skins appearance
*tastes great :D
Cons *a bit messy
Bottom line I've been using honey for almost 2 months now and have included it as apart of my daily skin regimen because I love it that much. It really helps with redness, though it's not a miracle cure and wont fade red spots overnight. I have fair skin and after damaging it with different acne products, searching for something right, my skin would turn very red, looking almost like a chemical burn. It was raw and bad! A little honey morning and night, helped repair my skin to it's natural tone and texture.

I use it in the morning and if I have time leave it on for 40mins-1hour, if not I'll leave it on for 15 mins just to take a bit of redness out of my skin. I wash it off and go about the rest of my skin routine. I do the same at night. I do this everyday because the honey doesn't irritate the skin. It's gentle and messy and my skin loves it.

I use the cheap grocery store stuff but the more organic and higher the UMF apparently the better the honey and the better it'll work, though it can be pricey.

I'm on Dan's Regimen again and am in my second week, and the honey really helped with my bad redness. I highly recommend this! It's not an end all to acne but it helps and I love using it with my daily regimen. But you have to be patient with it, as it helps the skins appearance over time.

Pros -fades scars
-prevent pimples from coming
-skin feels soft
-natural glow to the skin
-easy to use
- cheap
-smells good
Cons -its not so sticky for me just a little
Bottom line using honey for acne is so simple this is what i do every night:


things you need



- honey...1 tablespoon

-cinnamon...1 teaspoon

-lemon juice...about 1/4 of a teaspoon or just a few drops

( i use unpasturized clover honey)
(note:many people say to use raw honey, i'm using clover honey because it works best for me)

What to do:

1) put the honey in the bowl an microwave it for about 10 seconds or until melted

2)add the cinnamon and lemon juice

3) wash your face with warm water to open you pores.

4) apply the mixture to you face.since i add in cinnamon the honey will stick on your face better.

5) leave on for at least 15 min.

6)put a washcloth under cold water and squeeze out all the extra.

7) take the honey off gently with the cold washcloth

8) pat dry your face and your done

the honey and be a little bit hard to take off with a cold washcloth but it works better because the honey will be inside your pores instead of out

i use this every night and i stared seeing results in two days!

Pros Evens out skin tone
Smells/tastes great
Glowing complexion
Cons Sticky/messy
Bottom line I've been using honey as a mask for a couple days now and could not be happier with the results! At first, I just put the honey straight out of the bottle all over my face. I did this overnight and it made my skin tone even out tremendously the next day. I also tried a mix of 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1 egg yoke (found this from another review) and this also works wonders. Not only is the mask easy to apply, but it doesn't run and it dries pretty quickly. You can wear either of these masks for 15 minutes or the entire day/overnight (which ever you have the time for or are comfortable with). I've found that including honey in my facial regiment has completely helped my skin!

Pros tastes good, WORKS, moisturizing, cheap
Cons nada
Bottom line My face broke out last week, and as I was short on funds, I decided to try a few home remedies. First, I tried toothpaste - AWFUL! Dried out the zits, but left ugly ugly red marks. My fix? HONEY. It doesn't remove make up, so at night I've been washing with warm water, pure soap, and baking soda - finishing with a honey mask for about 5 minutes. Rinse off then splash with cold water to close pores. In the morning I wash with honey, rinse again with cold water. My face is looking amazing! Very soft, my blackheads on my nose and chin (which I had finally given up on and accepted the fact that they'd never go away) disappeared! The red marks are almost gone and my face looks and feels better than it ever has!!! I've tried expensive, fancy cleansers from Sephors. I've tried Proactiv (which did work). Drugstore brands (I've been obsessed with the Aveeno line) and NOTHING has worked this well! I'm sticking with it. :)

Pros Gentle, no chemicals, no redness.. And lightened my acne scars. Also left my skin really soft.
Cons Left my skin drier than usual, but no itchiness or redness.. Just use lotion after if this happens to you.
Bottom line It's great! I cut a whole lime in half and squeezed the juice into a cup.. Then put honey in it and mixed it up. You can save some for later.. Make sure you put the honey in the microwave for alittle first. Make sure it's warm!!
