Benefits Of Honey FaceMasks And Other Honey Facials

Some people probably  know that the sweet substance in honey  is great at combating colds and hydrating  the hair, but more than that honey has other benefits especially on the face using it as a facemask or in other facials.

Here are five benefits of using honey on your face.  

Anti-aging remedy

Honey contains  antioxidants, nutrients and enzymes  which  work together to nourish and plump the skin. It retains and rebuilds moisture without making it oily or creating any irritation. While it doesn’t completely eliminate wrinkles, it does reduce their appearance. And the antioxidants help reverse any damage, which is what can lead to visible signs of aging.

Hydrating moisturizer

If you’re prone to dry or itchy skin, applying honey can have soothing effects. “Honey fights free radical damage and pollution with its antioxidant properties, and it is really great for giving hydration to the skin, which will smooth and soften your complexion,” explains Liana Cutrone, senior skin therapist at Heyday.

Good for treating acne

If the cleanser and exfoliator are any indication, honey is all-around good for battling acne. Its anti-inflammatory benefits help remove excess oil from the surface, and if applied every day, it’ll balance the bacteria on your skin. Use it as a spot treatment to calm stubborn breakouts, and even to provide relief from autoimmune skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. The healing properties in honey help skin repair damage faster.

It’s a natural exfoliator

Say goodbye to irritated and itchy skin by using a honey face mask to gently exfoliate. You can also combine other remedies (avocado, lemon or apple cider vinegar) to upgrade the routine.

You can start by cleaning your face before applying whatever you choose to do (combo or not). Spread a thin layer of honey over your skin and leave it on for 8 to 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and patting your face dry. To get the best result,  use it once or twice a week.

Perfect daily cleanser

It might be time to ditch your daily face wash. Honey’s antioxidants, antiseptic and antibacterial properties make this ingredient a go-to for fighting acne. It’ll open your pores and get rid of those pesky blackheads while keeping your skin hydrated all day long. 

Honey facemasks are not necessarily applied only in the beauty salon, but the regimen and other honey facials can also be dutifully applied independently at home.
