Heart It
There are three reasons why we love honey: It's a humectant, meaning it keeps things moist, it's antibacterial so it stops the growth of bad-for-you bacteria, and it's hygroscopic, meaning it has some serious healing powers. There are also some other benefits of Honey. Check out-
Moisturize skin
In the dry winter months, your skin is screaming for some extra hydration. Make a one ingredient moisturizing mask by spreading one teaspoon of pure honey on your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Clean pores
Mixed with oil such as coconut or olive, honey can become a killer makeup remover and cleanser. Rub a few drops of both oil and honey into your skin to unclog pores. Rinse the mixture with warm water and a clean cloth.
Exfoliate dead skin
Add sugar or coffee grounds to honey for a sweet body or face scrub. Combine two tablespoons of either to two tablespoons of honey to create a paste. Rub this onto your skin in a circular motion and rinse with warm water.
Condition hair
Add honey to coconut or olive oil and apply it to damp hair. Let it sit for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Remove unwanted hair
Hate the hair on your upper lip and chin. Instead of going to an expensive salon or buying a store-bought version, make your own wax. Mix one tablespoon of raw honey with three tablespoons of brown sugar and one teaspoon of lemon juice. Boil the mixture until it turns brown. After it cools slightly, add it to your skin with a popsicle stick. Apply a cotton strip and rub in one direction. Gently, but quickly pull the cotton against your hair to remove it.
