HONEY!

 

Honey is known to have many beneficial properties for the skin, for one's health, and for enhancing a chiefs prepared meal.  Here, we will cover the use of honey for skin care.

Honey has great anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties hence the use for skin care. However, due to the large variety of honey, it can be difficult to pick out a quality product that will yield these wondrous benefits previously described.   


When looking for a honey to use as skin care, there are a couple things to keep in mind.  The honey you should strive for would have at least one of these properties mentioned within: local, natural, raw, unheated, unprocessed, and no added ingredients.  One must be mindful perusing their local grocery stores since many products are over-labeled "organic" and/or "raw".  Seeing a product labeled organic means practically nothing to today's raw food enthusiast.  Making sure your honey is unheated, unfiltered, and/or unprocessed will solidify the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.  A good tip for the raw-honey lookers is to find a honey with little granules of honeycomb still within the jar.  This tip can also benefit as an exfoliating scrub when washing the face.

Many might wonder if the honey will leave a sticky residue...  When added with water, honey takes on a diluted quality enough to rub the honey right on and off your face.  The honey will feel so delicious upon your face, you might feel that creeping tongue on a mission for a taste of the care!
