Honey Mask

Mix about two spoonfuls of honey with one spoonful of lemon juice. Apply to face. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Makes face feel really soft and brightens your complexion. Haven't really seen too much of a headway with acne. Still great!

My face broke out last week, and as I was short on funds, I decided to try a few home remedies. First, I tried toothpaste - AWFUL! Dried out the zits, but left ugly ugly red marks. My fix? HONEY. It doesn't remove make up, so at night I've been washing with warm water, pure soap, and baking soda - finishing with a honey mask for about 5 minutes. Rinse off then splash with cold water to close pores. In the morning I wash with honey, rinse again with cold water. My face is looking amazing! Very soft, my blackheads on my nose and chin (which I had finally given up on and accepted the fact that they'd never go away) disappeared! The red marks are almost gone and my face looks and feels better than it ever has!!! I've tried expensive, fancy cleansers from Sephors. I've tried Proactiv (which did work). Drugstore brands (I've been obsessed with the Aveeno line) and NOTHING has worked this well! I'm sticking with it. :)

So when i was a teenager i had the worst acne like pimple on top of pimple and i hated it i felt so ugly and I'm a girl so i think its a bit worse i tried every drugstore product that only made it worse. SO i went to home remedies and OMG this is the BEST there could be i personally didn't buy raw organic honey or organic cinnamon i just went to walmart bought the honey and cinnamon for less than 10 bucks for both and i added a few drops of lemon to the mix i used it everyday for an hour and that people was the only thing that got ride of my acne it took a few months, but i promise my face is now so smooth you can't even tell i ever had acne i have NO scars that I'm really amazed due to the severely of my acne. I'm now 26 yrs old and i still use it when have minor breakouts before my period but they never last more than 3 days i swear i wish i could post a before and after pic and you'd be amazed! i had sever acne that i never thought id have a clean face but i have had one since a i was 19 ! i wish i would've known this remedy when i was 13-18 the worst acne years of my life! Im in the esthetics career now and when they compliment my skin and ask what i do i always tell them about my cinnamon and honey remedy thats the only thing i use and some no one believes i ever had acne because i have no scars and my skin is so smooth and i look like I'm still 19 I LOOOOVVEEE IT!

I have tried absolutely everything. I have gone completely vegan, used this treatment and that treatment. I have gone through countless bottles, not to mention money, on all these products that don't work. I have seen my doctor who told me to suck it up. I have used harsh chemicals that burned away layers of my skin and gentle cleansers that didn't even rinse the oil off my skin. I thought I reached my absolute end and I was going to have disgusting skin forever. I have spent even more countless nights hysterical wishing I could just be beautiful. I got sick of everyone only looking at my acne and not me. As a last resort I turned to this honey mask. I have never seen my face clear up, even out, and rejuvenate so fast. This was an absolute miracle for me. My face has never been so clear, so soft, so hydrated, or so healthy in my entire life. I would get flare ups constantly, especially around lady time. But ever since starting this (and I started during lady time), I haven't had anything new. I am just focused on clearing what is (barely) left on my face. A true miracle..

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've been suffering from acne for almost 9 years now. I've tried so many treatments and nothing really worked. Then I got this raw honey and started applying it on my face. My face definitely feels smoother and acne has been greatly reduced. I hope it can also help lighten the huge amount of scars on my face as a result of acne over the years. Everyone should give this a try!

Works wonders! Go buy some today! Wash morning and night with it. I have been using St Ives cleanser to remove my make up and then using this. It has done incredible things for my skin. My acne scars are fading as well and break outs are minimal! It feels refreshing and you will not be disappointed! Also, I pray and take herbs (a milk thistle - liver cleanse may help also)....but I believe God sent this my way. :) Enjoy!

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.

I've been using it for about a week, and my skin is already clearing up (even more amazingly, it's starting to clear up a week before "that time of the month", which is when my acne gets way worse. Even after the first use, I noticed that my skin was softer, and the pimples weren't as red. I usually put it on for about an hour then rinse it off before I go to sleep. I have sensitive skin, and using honey has not made my skin flake. I would definately give this a try.

I introduced myself to the 'honey mask' in a gas station! In the gas station they provide many things to put in your coffee/tea, including ~Sugar in the Raw, HONEY, and lemon juice~ and I decided to take a couple and mix them together when I got home. I left the mask of for a half-hour, and when I took it off I was surprised at the reduced swelling! BOTTOM LINE- this won't work for everyone, because it depends on the PH balance in your skin. If you have sensitive skin, the lemon juice probably isn't for you, but the honey is perfectly fine. Try it, anyways, and see how it works!
