Honey Mask

Now, I haven't used this for very long, only tried it once. From all the cleaning and picking away, my skin was rough and horrible. It felt damaged, it looked damaged. It was not cool. I wanted to try something natural that would help my skin glow and nourish it at the same time. I went to Whole Foods and bought some organic raw honey. I put it on my skin for about 5-10 minutes after exfoliating. The next day I didn't get any new breakouts and my red marks and scars from picking seemed to look a little less evil. I'm going to do it probably 2-3 times a week and hopefully see some improvement!

I mix one part raw honey to one part lemon juice and leave it on ~30 minutes every day, in addition to my regular regimen (which combines natural and drugstore remedies and doesn't include a diet). The honey/lemon mixture improves redness, painful areas, and makes skin softer. It also fades scars over time. Acne-wise, it isn't a miracle cure, but after a few weeks it does seem to have reduced the number, severity, and length of my breakouts some. The consistency of honey makes it a little difficult to work with, but I find that thinning it out with a liquid--I chose lemon juice because it also reduces redness, and because the combo tastes great--makes it a lot easier to pour, apply, and wash off. I also washed out an old pump bottle of moisturizer and use it to store my honey/lemon mixture. This makes it WAY less messy. It also helps moderate the amount you put on your face--it doesn't dry out, so if you use too much it'll run right off your face, drip everywhere, and get in your eyes.

I use this almost everyday and it has really cleared up my skin and made it super soft. At first I was using processed 'honey' and it ended up drying out my skin and not clearing up much of anything. Then I started using natural honey which comes straight out of the beehive and immediatly I started seeing results. I would highly recommend this.

After roughly 6 years of persistent acne, redness, countless prescriptions from my dermatologist, and lost hope, I've ventured into more holistic solutions. I started by ordering a vegetable oil based soap from online with all natural ingredients. This replaced my normal face wash. The honey mask was meant to replace all the extra prescriptions I formally used. I like to apply the mask right after a shower, when my pores are open. I'll leave it on for 2-3 hours and then gently wash it off. After only a few weeks, my acne is significantly reduced and the overall quality of skin is better. Sometimes, I'll dab on a little honey as a spot treatment. I also recommend an avocado mask for people with extremely dry and damaged skin like mine. It leaves your skin even softer than honey alone. Honey Mask: - 1 tbsp. RAW honey (the white kind, it is not processed and has the most antioxidants) - 1 tsp. cinnamon Avocado mask: - Half of a small avocado - 1 tsp. olive oil - 1 tbsp. honey (For very dry skin: put a little vitamin E oil on afterwards, and your skin will be SOOO soft.)

I used three tablespoons of honey to one tablespoon of cinnamon, mixed well. I wash my face with warm to hot water then apply the mixture after my face has dried. Leave it on for about 30 mins of whenever it starts to drip. Wash with warm to hot water to open those pores. Then I cleanse with pourpose gentle cleanser still with warm to hot water then rise with cold water to close your porse.I did this for about a month and saw big improvement with scares and I had a lot less breakouts. You can also use it as a spot treatment. Istopped for a about a week and a half and my face began to break out again. I recently started it up again and I am loving it. I used it after showering from a work out or before I go to bed. ITS AMAZING YOU HAVE TO TRY IT, PLEASE, FOR ONE MONTH, just stick to it.

I take some honey out of a honey container (just the honey that is in a bear container) I put it in a dish and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds to make it a warm liquid and put it on my face and keep it on as long as i can have it on. It has really reduced redness by atleast 90% It is amazing as far as moisturizer works. Better than any facial lotions.

Use this once every 2 weeks at most for sensitve skin types! ~ I started out using this twice a week and it worked great for awhile, then I noticed it started to cause cysts and painful irritation after I started using it more! I have since stopped using this & no more cysts at all! I really love how soft it made me feel, but since I'm so sensitive, I'd rather not even bother with this one at all any longer..

I've been using the honey mask for years, twice a day in the mornings and before going to bed. It's easy and delicious - you put it on, go about your routine, and then wash it off with warm water. Use organic honey, especially if it's from wildflowers. It keeps your skin incredibly soft, it leaves a lingering honey scent, and it definitely speeds up healing of acne and scarring. Your face will also glow if you use it regularly. However, the honey mask alone doesn't prevent acne, and I don't suggest using it to get rid of zits. Another downside is that long term, using honey clogs your drains. If you can, try to wash off your face outside or find a way to avoid letting that honeyed water go down the drain to avoid expensive fixes. Use honey as an everyday cleanser, then couple it with lemon juice (add water for sensitive skin) to treat your acne. It'll take some experimentation to find the routine that works for you, but lemon juice from real lemons works very well. If you have an emergency zit, put some baking soda on it overnight, and make sure to moisturize with whatever face moisturizer you use after your routine. Voila! A home skin care kit that's cheap and that works.

definitely give it a try, it's relatively inexpensive. of course be sure that you are using honey, as many big chain grocery stores try to pass off corn syrup as honey sometimes! organic and local is best :-)

Messy! The honey drips off of your face onto your clothes. Tastes delicious though. Mmmm, and it's fun too. The only thing I did was warm up some honey and smear it on my freshly cleansed skin, left it on for about an hour and then rinsed it off with warm water first, and then splashed cold water in my face a couple times to finish. I loved the way my skin looked afterwards. I was like "whoaaa, this actually worked?" How cool is that? And how cheap and natural!! I'm about to say f**k the comsmetic skin care companies altogether. Except for Sunscreen. Everything you need you can practically do at home and for way cheaper!
