Use Honey on Your Face.... Say What?


There are several ways through which honey can enhance the beauty of your skin when used appropriately. You can use honey by itself or combine with other home remedies to achieve the look you desire. These are some of the beauty benefits using honey on your skin gives you;

Pore cleanser

When applied on your face, honey opens up your skin pores to cleanse them and get rid of black heads. Its antioxidants, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties allow it to help you fight acne by keeping your pores free of oily dirt while at the same time keeping them hydrated and tight to give your clearer complexion.

Gentle exfoliate

One common enemy of a beautiful skin is old and dead cells which may cause you irritation and itchiness. Using honey as your exfoliate is gentler than other artificial exfoliate since it is gentle on your skin. Rubbing honey gently on your skin also leaves you with a brighter complexion which is not the case with other exfoliates.

Cure for acne and pimples

Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, using honey on your skin, especially your face removes excess oil from the surface hence clearing out any blockages or clogged pores.

This clogged pores if left unattended are the leading cause of acne and pimples on your face.

Natural hydrant

Lack of adequate moisture on your skin leaves you with a dry skin that is coarse and itchy. With its moisturizing and soothing effects, raw honey can hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, radiant, and glowing.

This is due to natural humectants and emollients contained in this precious product that increase the water content and reduce dryness in the skin even long after you’ve washed it off.


I came from Ohio but live in Virginia now. I still buy my honey from Honeyrun Farms. I love the taste of the ones that I ingest and I have great outcomes from using their Lavender infused honey on my face.

While we are on the subject of honey, here are some other benefits to using honey in your daily life:

Antibacterial properties

Soothing throats

Athletic performance
