Honey Mask

For much of my life I have applied a mask comprised of honey mixed with sugar (for exfoliating effects) and it leaves my complexion very pretty and glowing. I like that it doesn't matter if you get it in your mouth, because it's natural and won't damage you. I like that it's easily obtainable. I like that it doesn't aggravate my sensitive skin. The only thing that can be a bother is that it drips if you put too much on, thus it can be very messy, but if you just put on an old t-shirt and wash it afterwards you're good to go. It may or may not help with scars, I've had good experience but I can't say for certain it was the mask.

While it hasn't cured my cystic hormonal acne, it has calmed the smaller other acne I get, it makes lesions heal faster and my skin looks healthier overall. I am going to continue to use this even if I get my hormonal acne sorted out.

I mixed CINNAMON powder with HONEY and used it as a spot treatment overnight. My Results: I was very pleased by the results from the honey and cinnamon treatment last night. I applied it on a couple of pimples I could see coming as well as a few old pimples that had just left some marks that were still healing. In the morning, on the new pimples, the honey was completely absorbed and the pus/etc had been brought completely to the surface. It had basically been cleaned right out. There was no progress on the old pimple marks. However, this evening (about 24 hours after original application) I noticed one of the marks on my forehead had almost completely disappeared. I've heard it takes a bit of time for the honey (and cinnamon) to do its magic, but I'm already seeing a few instant results! I'm excited to continue my spot treatment. What I Used: The honey that I used was what I had on hand, which was natural honey from Austria. However, I went out and bought 100% natural and organic Canadian Honey today for $6, mixed that with cinnamon tonight, and am trying it again as a spot treatment. I have heard of Manuka honey but I am not willing to spend the large amount of money right away. The Canadian honey is still 100% honey and 100% organic, with no chemicals or additives. The Canadian honey is not runny, but thick, and requires a bit of effort to scoop out of the jar. Then, to mix it with the cinnamon, it must be kneaded with a knife or stirring stick so it can reach a more gooey consistency. This is the only real challenge. It can then be safely stored in a glass jar and, like regular honey, does not need to be refrigerated or thrown away. Save some on the side too for a snack or on your toast, is tastes great, and has many other health benefits!

I used natural honey as a spot treatment. (put a little warm saltwater on the zit to dry it up then a dab of honey on it overnight) First of all...I'd tried to (stupidly, haha) pop it before because I saw some puss. Nothing came out, but I didn't want to wash my face with anything harsh, so I decided to try honey because I needed it gone fast. I heard this was supposed to be an overnight zit zapper. However, when I woke up the next morning, it was even redder and worse. BUT! Even though it didn't get rid of the zit, it brought the bacteria/oil/puss to the surface, so I barely had to touch it to get all of that nasty stuff out. Bottom line, it was a great, natural way to bring everything to the top, but it didn't quite cure it.

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.

I used regular organic grocery store honey once or twice a day for about a week. In that time, it managed to clear up some stubborn under the skin bumps on my cheek and made my skin glow. then I switched to manuka honey which is about three times as expensive and honestly did not do as much as the grocery store honey did. Also, I left it on overnight once and it seemed to clog my pores and erase the good that the regular honey did...so i'm starting today with the regular honey and will give an update in a week. overall, if nothing else it is a very good hydrating mask for sensitive dry skin.

I did extensive research into the benefits for the skin using honey for pimples and I'am very grateful to come across this remedy. I make my own honey mask and buy the PURE honey. I drink plenty of green tea and mix the contents of the left over green tea bag into the honey too. Since I don't have a microwave , I add some hot water or left over green tea into the mixture to make it thinner and if I have it, a little bit of lemon juice. I mix it and apply to all over my face. I use to suffer from severe acne as of 13 years old and I am now 17 and my acne has definitely toned down but I still get single pimples over my forehead and chin and blackheads all over my nose. Ive found this is helping so far together with my normal skin care routine and my skin just glows! I leave the mask on for around 30 minutes then simply rinse off and pat dry. Give it a go! I'm finding its benefiting me a lot so far. I just cant wait to see if it helps reduce my bad scarring on my forehead. xxx

it works great !

I looked at all these reviews, and I realized that the one person who didn't recommend it had the cheapest honey, so based on this thought, I bought some nice honey, and it worked! Its better to get more expensive honey than to buy cheap honey. If your planning on buying cheap honey, don't, its useless.

The only time I'd get pimples back then was before getting my monthly period. And those pimples were light and they were never cystic. But when I suddenly got an acne nodule on my chin and on my cheeks, I got all worried right away. By the way, my daily and nightly regimen are very simple: Massage Dove's Pink Beauty Bar and then Olay's Active Hydrating Cream in the morning, Olay's Night Firming Cream before going to sleep; it works great on my skin. And this was before my acne nodule breakout. But anyway, I actually never tried any acne products on my face because I know it is highly sensitive. The only creams that touch my face are Olay's creams and Dover's Pink Beauty Bar, as mentioned above, and they work very well for me. So when I heard of honey and its antibacterial properties and all of the good reviews, I decided to give it a try. So my daily and nightly routine now is: I massage Dove's Pink Beauty Bar, wash it off with warm water, gently pat myself dry and put honey straight from the bottle to my face and massage it for a good five minutes. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes, wash it off again, and then apply my cream. I actually did not have any high expectations simply because I didn't want to be disappointed. However, the results after the first use did enlighten me. My dark spots became so much lighter. Though, I don't think honey prevents pimples. I believe it just helps you treat the damage your previous pimples have done. I've been using this for three nights and two days now and I'm quite delighted so far with the results!
