Cons:
sticky. need to put a cotton pad over when you're going to use overnight else you'll stain your pillows.
manuka honey is the answer to my prayers! i've had whiteheads that wouldnt go away. now they are reduced and i feel like my acne scars are fading slowly, but surely! this is confidence in a jar. forget your chemicals, go natural.

Pros:
Makes skin soft
Create the face masks they use in fancy spas, in your own home!
Cons:
Expensive but one tub will last ages
Make sure you're buying the real thing!
It is very expensive :/
I like to put it on as a facemask (mmm, sticky) and leave it for an hour or so then have a shower to feel nice and clean.
It's great if you're getting ready for a date/night out as it is a quick way of making your skin feel lovely (and yourself more confident!) If I feel like I'm getting a spot I'll put a bit of honey over the annoying area, put a plaster on it, go to bed and (hopefully) it helps reduce inflammation by the next day.

Pros:
Prevents breakouts, easy and chemical-free!
Cons:
Price
I have been using Manuka honey for a couple of weeks as a cleanser and I love it! It is initially sticky when I put it on but when mixed with water it washes off easily. I have sensitive skin and have struggled with spots for a couple of years but this has finally stopped my breakouts and healed the redness and irritation that I used to suffer from! Make sure you get manuka honey with a UMF (unique manuka factor) rating on the label. I use UMF 10+ for my cleanser and once a week I use UMF 18+ as a face mask for 20 minutes. I follow each use with my favourite (non comedogenic) moisturiser to make sure my skin doesn't get dry (it's winter at the moment). It is the first thing that has really worked for me so that weighs up against the cost. I am also extremely happy to not be using all those nasty chemicals I used to use on my skin anymore!

If you are using honey masks, you should use manuka honey not regular honey. There aren't many reviews on this site about manuka honey, it's better than regular honey because it has the "unique manuka factor" which kills bacteria. Look for active manuka honey from new zealand with a UMF rating, the higher the better. I use UMF 20+, but there's also 10+ and 5+, the stronger it is the more effective in killing bacteria (: Manuka honey also has many other benefits, if you take it internally it supposedly strengthens your immune system. It's amazing when it comes to healing wounds and scars, but it's not an overnight thing, you have to use it consistently. I saw results within 2 weeks. I have mild to moderate acne, but I read that it helps severe acne too, just takes longer. A 250ml bottle lasted me a month, so it's not actually that expensive considering all the other products I tried that didn't work.

Try it. Just put some raw manuka honey on your acne/wound like you put any other on-spot medicine. It works.
Pros:
gives skin a glow. reduces bumps and redness. great for whiteheads.
