The Benefits of Honey.

I recently started breakout out on my chin, and in my t-zone. I couldn't exactly find out what was causing these breakouts until I started really paying attention to my skincare routine. In my most recent post, I said I started using the Cerave Foaming Cleanser. 
For the first time in a long time, I used a drugstore cleanser and absolutely fell in love with it!
Only recently it seems that my skin has been reacting badly to it, which makes me really sad because I loved it so much ); Anyways, as soon as my skin reacts badly to a skincare product. I stop using all man-made things, and go back to home remedies until I can find the cause of what was harming my skin!

One amazing product that I wanted to talk about in this post is: HONEY! ^_____^

Everyone knows what this is, either it being from using it has a sweetener in your beverage or simply adding it to a meal!

Many people love the taste of Honey, but not everyone knows/uses it as a topical treatment!

Today, I am going to share my experience, different ways you can use honey and the benefits of it! :)

If you are interested please feel free to continue reading!

First, and foremost I don't wear any foundation. So I can't vouch that it takes off makeup well on its own. But usually I wear concealer and some eye makeup. So what I use to take that off is coconut oil, and after I just slather some honey on and my skin feels very fresh/clean! I've never had any bad breakouts from this routine. If anything, it would take away any existing acne.

Now why is honey so great?
Honey contains makes mild alpha hydroxy acids. 
These acids: 
  • Can loosen dead skin cells, making it easier to shed
  • Increase elasticity
  • Balance out oily skin but still give moisture to dry skin
  • Stimulate collagen production
  • Minimize lines and wrinkles, making you look younger.
Honey contains (Before Pasteurization):
  • Bee pollen
  • Propolis
^ Those ingredients help with the growth of new skin cells!

You can use Oatmeal and Honey as a face mask for moisturizing. It's had great benefits for my skin <3

I truly recommend honey as something you should consider using as a face wash.
The best benefit from it, is it doesn't have a long list of chemicals inside of it.
Chemicals that could age your skin faster. :c

So give honey a try! If you don't like it, atleast you can jus use it as a sweetner for your beverage!
Plus it's fairly cheap! :)

Remember: Try to buy a organic/raw brand of honey! ^____^

Stay lovely xx
