Hi guys,

I started using honey on my face a few days ago because I wanted something natural and antibacterial to add my routine .

But when I apply it and leave it for just a minute or two, my patches of eczema go bright red and sting/itch. The redness doesn't happen all over my face. Just on problem areas like the eczema and acne. Which is why I can't decide whether it's an allergic reaction or not.??

Is this meant to happen? Very confused! :/

Hi,

I use honey regularly and I've never had a reaction like that, it's definitely not supposed to do that. What honey are you using? If it's just store bought consider trying raw or manuka because it could be your skin reacting to added chemicals

Yup this happened to me too whenever I used honey. Mind you it was a Manuka honey but only a 5 factor as opposed to 10 or 12.

I stopped using it as I did not like this reaction. I would try other things and stop this completely if its happening, or maybe try a Manuka honey If you aren't already?
