Cons:
messy
There are several types of honey on the market. For the purposes of a facial mask for the benefit of reducing acne, please purchase sterilized honey (usually sterilized via gamma radiation, which does not reduce enzyme levels in the honey like pasteurization does). FYI, sterilized honey is FDA approved to be sold as medical devices in the US. If you cannot find organic sterilized honey, I would next recommend organic raw honey (which still has full enzyme activity for killing fungus and bacteria). I would not recommend the cheap regular, pasteurized honey that most grocery stores sell. All useful enzymes and healing properties are gone at that point, and usually preservatives and/or additives have been added. If you use regular pasteurized honey, it will not have any benefit in the fight against acne. Also, when making a mask do not heat the honey in the microwave. This will reduce beneficial enzyme activity in the honey. I usually apply a honey mask 3-4 times a week at night, for 20-40 minutes. Good luck all. I hope this helps.

Truly a miracle mask
This mask is a miracle that I wish I had discovered it sooner! I had these acne scars on the down right side of my cheek and chin for like forever and no mask seemed to work but I tried that honey and cinnamon mask for two days straight and omG some of the scars were gone! So I'm gonna keep at it until all scars are gone. Of course for you guys with sensitive skin you wanna try a behind the ear patch first for the cinnamon cuz u might react to it . Thank God for honey and cinnamon <3

A MUST READ FOR YOU GUYS WHO WANTED CLEAR SKIN
Hello! I've been suffering from acne since I was 11 years old and that affected my confidence, I rarely go out of our house because I was so embarrassed of what my face looks like. I have tried many products but none of it really cleared up my skin. So my major breakout was when I was 14-15 years old (I'm 16 now, btw) and I was so desperate to clear and cure my acne because it really sucks having those bumps and puss on your face. :'( And then finally!!! MY FACE CLEARED UP. What I did was to use Sulfur soap (Dr. Wongs Sulfur soap) which works slowly but it really is effective if you are patient then after patting my face dry, I'll put Eskinol and I'll mix Dalacin-c, I'll use that before I go to bed. DON'T use this treatment when going out under the sun because it might burn your face. and don't use this treatment for too long because the dalacin-c will no longer be effective because it is an antibiotic. BUT IT IS REALLY EFFECTIVE, YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE TWO WEEKS AFTER USING IT. I am also using baking soda twice a week and/or Egg yolk mask. this routine cleared up my skin. But just this March I started breaking out again, not that bad tho but it won't stop so I have acne marks again on my skin which really frustrates me a lot. So what I did this time was different, I am putting honey in my face and rub it in circular motion and after a minute or two I'll wash it and then I bought Cetaphil facial cleanser and wash my face with the cleanser, after that, I'll use Apple cider vinegar as a toner (Diluted 50% water, 50% acv) and when my face absorbed the toner I then put Palmer's cocoa butter Skin Therapy Oil for my acne marks or hyperpigmentation and after that I'll put Petroleum Jelly for the dry patches on my skin because my skin is Combination. I noticed the change on my face after 2 or 3 days. I do this twice a day, morning and night. It never broke me out. Ever. Now I'm just waiting for my pimple marks to fade. I'm so happy with the condition of my skin right now and I gained my confidence back. Stick to natural methods. It will do miracle. =)) I am planning to buy another box of baking soda because it's doing its job well on fading my marks and preventing pimples from coming out. I am also doing Oatmeal + Honey + Tea face mask or Turmeric + Honey face mask once a week. I also exfoliate using Oatmeal only once or twice a week. I tried exfoliating with sugar but I broke out after using it, I thought that's not the cause so the following week I used that again but sadly, I broke out again after that so I changed to oatmeal. It leaves my skin soft. I also drink tea (green or black). I also tried drinking ACV, a cup of water + 1 tsp of ACV, in empty stomach before. It really did its job. I noticed dramatic changes 2 or 3 days after :) and drink lots of water. It really helps. Occasionally, I rub banana peels on my face before I wash my face whenever there is banana available on our kitchen. Hahaha. I also tried using Defensil, it's so good!!! But I decided to use the Cetaphil instead. But you can use Defensil also because it really dried up my pimples. :) So yea, guys, you might wanna try those routines that I did because I can vouch for its effectiveness. :) God bless and don't give up! You guys can fight those suckers. :)

Pros:
-Smells and tastes great
-cheap
-easy
-ACTUALLY works!
I must of tried EVERYTHING for my face. I would try anything from proactive to every pimple cream and even ordered products from dermalogica that can get pricey. Everything works for a small amount of time or not at all. It was so frustrating because everytime my face would start to clear up it would get wors especially around that time of the month. Last week I did the honey and cinnamon mask. I applied it just to the areas that I break out and my face cleared up so much... and that time of the month just came and I dont have ANY new pimples... so i applied the mask on again now to whatever was left from last time. This is absolutely great and even from the first time I tried this my face looked better right after I washed everything off. I plan on doing this atleast 3 times a week even if I dont break out. My skin feels and looks better and I dont need to waste money on concealer that doesnt even work anymore! I feel more confident. I work for an airline company to dealing with customers and feeling that huge pimple on face was the most uncomfortable thing ever! So try this remedy! Cheap...easy...and it works!

Pros:
* softens skin
*fades red marks
* helps skin heal faster
* makes skin glow
*makes pimples go down
*clears up acne if used regularly
Cons:
*sticky
*uncomfortable to sleep in
Try it!! nothing makes my skin look better than honey the trick is to leave it on all night just put a towel over your pillow. it might be super uncomfortable to sleep with honey on your face but you'll get dramatic results compared to if you only put it on your face for 15min or a couple hours. it needs time to stay on your skin and repair it. also do this for more than one day i saw amazing results on the 2nd day. Btw i dont use ANYTHING on my face but honey i dont even use a cleanser. i find that less products on my skin actually keeps my extreme oiliness considerably down and honey is just gentle enough to give me the added moisture. i love it!!!

Sticky
I'm 28 I've been suffering with acne since I was 15 and I have tried everything and nothing has worked as good as this. Only been a day but I woke up with all my pimples all tried up. I'm going to continue using the honey didn't mix it with anything. My skin is soft and my scars looks lighter. I'm very happy right now.

Pros:
Ur skin clears up and brightens your skin, but you have to use my special formula read bottom line
Cons:
your face tastes like honey and lemon, your girl/boy friend might want to lick your face
Get some thick honey and cut a lemon in half and squeeze the lemon juice in it. Squeeze the other half in a glass of water and drink it. Mix it with your finger and then lick your finger dry. If its too runny let it dry a bit, then put it all over face, but rinse your face with water and pat it dry. Eat the left overs. Then leave it on for as long as u want then just rinse it off.

allergic reactions and the role of the immune system
My suggestion based on immunology: honey contains microscopic particles of pollen, which induces allergies in many people. Applying honey to skin causes an initial spike in immune function at the site of application, killing off bacteria while cells also attack pollen particles. Further use of honey sensitizes skin and small red bumps, redness, and itchy skin results from eosinophilia (over active immune reaction) .

skin routine
hello, my name is Lorena and i am 26 years old.
I ve battled acne since my teenage years and as time went by i became really paranoid about my face, like many people here mentioned i couldn t look myself in the mirror and my confidence was really low. Must be hormones or my lifestyle i don t know. Last year it went completely wrong and i started using all kinds of products even very expensive ones that would , in the end, only make me break even worse, give me rashes, etc.
So i ve created this skin routine that works wonders for me, tightens my pores, less acne and beautiful clean face.
First make sure you have time for yourself, to relax and follow everything step by step.
Wash you hands to remove all bacteria, i even wash my hands in the morning before washing my face or doing my make up.
step 2 : boil some water , pour it in a bowl with some rosamary leafs and steam your face really well, after 10-15 minutes clean it with gentle cotton pads. (i use the body shop organic cotton pads)
step 3: use a mirror and make sure you have enough light, and with a cotton cloth gently squeeze all blackheads and pimples. oke, some people might find it wrong but this is cleaning and i believe no product will clear everything just like that, it doesn t work. Anyway b gentle. It may leave some redness thats why is better to do it in the evening.Also don t force it, if it doesn t wanna come out is fine.
step 4: make a honey and lemon mask and massage it on your face with the tip of your fingers, massage stimulates blood flow and your skin will thank you for that.After you ve applied it wait like 25-30 mins then rinse it off.
I find this mask a bit messy and you ll get very sticky but oh the things we all do for beauty.
Repeat this every week, and during the week after taking your make up off and washing the face, apply honey and lemon at least 1-2 evenings for a natural boost.
This routine worked wonders for me but in time, nothing happens over night and the products that claim they do so make me feel like i should be double careful.
And don t forget that no matter what you put on your face you need to drink lots of water, eat veggies and avoid oily foods and refined sugars. Eat foods high in antioxidants like kiwi and berries, dance or go for a run, take time to read a book or get creative in your stressful times and most of all love yourself.
I hope this will help other like it helped me, my skin is now bright, clean and pimple free!

Pros:
- Face feel amazing after this
- Clears acne
- Controls access oils
- Smells great
Cons:
- Very messy
- A pain to rinse off
I love the honey mask, although I do it differently I mix pure honey with some grated apple and mix it together and apply it. Its amazing for acne and oily skin like mine. Before a big event or night out I do this mask. Apply this before your shower and also if you wear makeup your makeup will go on great after this facial! Even just honey itself makes a differences, but if you want to add more vitamins and moisture in your skin add some grated apple to this mask!!!
Pros:
promotes healing of acne wounds/scars
kills bacteria
soothing
softens skin
