Honey Mask

It works moderatly and helps rejuvinate skin. Which is definatly very important. Also FOR YOUR INFORMATION: the active ingredient in the honey is actually a form of hydrogen peroxide. I found rubbing this on the face is EVEN MORE effective, but KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR EYE BROWS....it will dye them blond. Also use to remove acne scars....works in about one week, and I had horrible acne scars.

I'm 19 and have been suffering from acne since i was 14. I've tried almost everything and so far this is my favorite. I used a pure honey, cinnamon and nutmeg mixture (smelled like Christmas :) ), and just after one time i could tell the difference I left on the mask for a bout 15 minuets then put on a face moisturizer after wards, left my skin feeling amazing. There is still redness and acne, but I've only been using it for about a week. My skin is quite sensitive and I'd recommend trying this to anyone

i used honey with baking soda and cinnamon (: the baking soda made my face feel tingly(which i liked) when i was washing it off the cinnamon exfoliated my face! i left it on as a mask for about 45 mins, after i washed it off my skin felt fresh and was glowy

dont use cheap stop and shop honey go for some quality stuff

I have extremely dry, sensitive skin and adult acne. Honey helps a very specific kind of acne for me. I get this large group of small pimples on my face by my ears that peroxide and other acne treatments have no effect on. Honey is the only thing that has helped them. However, honey hasn't had any effect on the large pimples I get on my forehead. It's like the pimples on by my ears are a different strain of bacteria that the honey specifically helps or something. I put raw honey (regular, not Manuka) on like a mask and leave it on for at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better.

Raw Honey has masses of benefits for the skin, it's antibacterial and antimicrobial properties can be really beneficial to acne prone skin. I tend to use raw honey over regular store bought honey as it has not been heat treated or pasteurised so it contains more beneficial enzymes and nutrients. I will use raw honey as a mask or cleanser. As a mask I will leave it sitting on my skin for as long as possible anything from 5 minutes while I brush my teeth or a few hours at the weekend. I found that while adjusting to a 5% benzoyl peroxide treatment, raw honey was one of the only things that really nourished my dry, irritated skin. One downside is that, personally, it doesn't do that much to prevent active acne, but the soothing, moisturising, healing properties contribute to overall healthier skin and therefore less chance of breakouts over time.

You need to be close to a mirror, to keep track on where the honey is, lol. But yeah, if you have dry skin or just want to try something else, this is a good mask. I don't have dry skin, but it works quite well anyway. My skin always feels smooth afterwards.

I like to mix indgredients so that you get a variety of benefits for acne and the skin. I mix 1 teaspoon of each plain oatmeal, manuka honey, plain non fat yougurt, and half a lemon to make a fantastic mask that works in healing and preventing acne 3 times a week. I also recommend trying witch hazel lemon juice and honey mixed together. I have found that using natural remedies provide much better and faster results that any medications I've tried. Also don't use proactive it is a waste of money, worked for me in the first 3 monthes and then acne returned. I currently wash with 100% black soap, 100% tea tree oil as astrigent/toner, and then moisturize with unrefined shea butter. Have been using this for only a week and my breakouts have stopped significantly.

Honey is a great natural treatment that is a fighter against acne causing bacteria, and evens out your complexion. When you buy honey, try to be it Raw. Most farmers markets sell honey this way.

Hey! I have never posted anything on here, but I've finally found a remedy that works for me! I have been struggling with moderate acne for 4 years now. I have tried multiple antibiotics, and creams and nothing really had an impact on my skin. I have been using a retinoid cream for a year and a half now, and it has become less and less effective. So I decided to give the honey mask another shot. I tried it years ago and didn't notice a difference in my skin. But this time around, I bought the most expensive local raw honey I could find. Seriously, do not settle for cheap, processed honey, it will not have the full effect! I have been doing it for three days now, twice a day, leaving it on for 20 minutes in the morning and 30 min- 1 hour at night. After the first mask I noticed that my skin looked and felt healthier, my skin was neither dry nor oily, and for me and my combination skin that's a big deal. I have noticed fewer breakouts, and also putting raw honey on a zit after popping it seems to reduce the damage to the skin, as well as reducing inflammation. I cannot say that this mask will clear up your skin, but it seems to improve the skins overall texture and appearance, without making acne worse. I would recommend trying it for no more than 15-30 minutes and see how your skin reacts to it. Everyones skin is different so you may have better or worse results with this remedy, just be careful and be gentle on your skin. I hope this works for you! In case you're interested, the honey i've been using is made by YS Organic Bee Farms, 100% certified Organic Raw honey.
