Honey Mask

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.

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!

I put honey on my pimple and after an hour the the redness was gone and the pimple got smaller! I love this!

I absolutely love honey. I came across an article online about this remedy. I'm so glad to have found it. I feel so silly bringing honey into the restroom, but the results are so worth it. Check it out, this is all I do: Put enough to coat my entire face, leave it on for 15 mins (I usually watch tv to pass the time), and then I rinse it off. That's all! I love how it's so easy to rinse off, too. You'd think it would be a mess but it's not at all. If you put too much on your face then it becomes runny and drips--just apply a thin layer and let it absorb. I don't know about these other people who sleep with it on, that sounds way messy, and talk about sticky pillow cases. Just do this daily and you'll be happy with the results. I am.

It works. I am an esthetician and a great thing to add to the honey to make a thicker mask is organic apple, blend in a blender, and some cinnamon, whole face 2tbsp. added. mix and apply 15-20 min. don't keep leftover so use small apples, also you can add a few drops of tea tree oil to it. To jen from other comment-you cannot use raw honey it must be filtered and preferably organic. raw honey can contain too many things that irritate your skin, even particles from the bees. so try it again with bottled honey from your grocery store but get organic. hope it helps.

I'm so glad I tried this natural remedy! I slather it on my face about 2 hours before bed and rub it in around my nose. I usually leave it on for the whole 2 hours, but that's not necessary. My skin is smooth and glowing! I've even started having plugs come out of my nose which is amazing since my blackheads are like cemented in. Can't recommend this enough! Btw- I used raw honey.

I, like many other users, was pretty skeptical of using a honey mask. But, after having a bad hormonal break out, I had visions of the number of purple marks that I would be left with for months after the acne healed. So, after doing a pretty extensive search, I decided that honey was worth a try. I ran to the nearest health food store and bought a fairly expensive two-pound jar of raw/organic honey and organic cinnamon and hazlenut, which came out to 30 dollars even (Each of my three prescriptions from my dermatologist costs 75 dollars, so this was a bargain). Let me tell you something; as a caveat, this organic honey ("Really Raw" brand) might taste like honey, but it sure doesn't smell like it--you get used to the smell after about five minutes or less, however. I put about 2 tablespoons of honey, half a teaspoon of both cinnamon and nutmeg, and two tablets of crushed aspirin in a cup, mix it together, then apply it to my face for about at least an hour or until I can't tolerate the dripping from the honey any more. After the first day, I wasn't very impressed. Four days later, though, and I am delighted. The new scars that would have been forming from my recent breakout are nearly gone, and my older ones are slowly disappearing as well, though not as quickly. Also, a new white head that was forming has also subsided and gone away; I'm not sure if that was the honey's doing, but I don't know what else would cause it. If the dripping starts annoying me too much, I literally place a piece of saran rap on the bottom of the chin to catch the drippings before they can fall on my clothes or bed, which they do. A few paper towels on your lap if you're sitting up doesn't hurt, either. I think it's great, and I will continue using it every day until my marks subside completely and perhaps continue using it a few times per week if it continues to help with my breakouts. Consider using this in combination wit

I can understand why after over using honey you get worse results and im going to explain you why but first excuse my english because it's not my first language :) I used honey when i had a soooooo bad breakouts and irritated skin and honey worked perfectly because of its antioxidents - anti irritations - moistrazing and anti bacterial agents BUUUT its anti bacterial option dont give it the right to be OVER used !! why ?? Don t forget that skin has what is known by GOOD bacterias protecting your skin from veruses and others bacterias and "killing " those by honey will lead tovery serious problems . I hope i helped you ^__^

i find it great for minor scarring and acne. really reduces redness and swelling especially if you have been messing with the pimples! i would recomend it to anyone as it is really gentle, i have sensitive skin and i have had no problems with it at all. steam face and leave on for 15 - 20 minutes for super soft skin and reduced swelling of acne!

I had the worst breakout of my life 2 weeks ago, so I did some spot treatment with PanOxyl. It took a week to rid of my pimples but my scars were still very visible. In desperation, I applied PanOxyl on my whole face - the next day I was red, dry, swollen. I thought I'd use the natural hair waxing honey I had around, just for moisturizing, but it actually got rid of my pimples and healed wounds (PanOyxl dried my pimples quite effectively but took longer for wounds to close). My face is back to normal after only 2 days! I only use Lactacyd as a facial wash (because of salicylic acid, and it's gentler on the skin). Then I pat my skin dry, apply the honey and leave it on for 10 mins., before taking a bath in the morning and at night. Because it has proven safe for my skin I am thinking I will fare better if I leave it on longer. I feel so happy I discovered this purpose, after all the years and money I've spent on chemical products. My mother, who disapproves of me putting anti-acne creams and gels on my face, surprisingly gave a thumbs up when I told her it was honey I was using. She didn't like that I looked like a glop of monster while using the mask though :)
