Naturally packed with vitamin B and potassium, honey is a go-to natural treatment for brighter, more radiant skin. Dry and sensitive skin types love its soothing scent from pure nectar. For purified, glowing skin in under 15 minutes, whip up a simple mask: one egg and a teaspoon of honey. Prep your skin first with a gentle scrub made from one tablespoon of ground almonds and one tablespoon of liquid honey.
Counterintuitively, honey hydrates while tackling oily skin thanks to its hydrogen peroxide content, which reduces excess sebum and blemishes. Try mixing two teaspoons of lemon juice with one tablespoon of acacia honey, apply for 15 minutes, then rinse. For stubborn pimples, crush a lemon seed with a teaspoon of honey and leave on overnight. Dry lips? Dab on acacia honey before bed for soft, supple results.
Did you know honey is over 80% glucose and fructose? These sugars act as humectants, locking moisture onto your skin for a soft, smooth feel. Boost the effect by adding a drop of lavender essential oil to one tablespoon of honey, apply for 15 minutes, and gently remove with a clean cotton pad. The difference will surprise you!
Beyond potassium, vitamin B, and sugars, honey's potent antioxidants combat wrinkles and sagging skin. Weekly, blend one tablespoon of acacia honey with two drops of 100% organic lemon essential oil. Apply to your face for 30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and for an extra boost, splash with ice water. Expect an invigorating, toned glow.
