Honey for your skin – Luckey Bee

Using Honey for your skin

by Kerry

 

Why use Organic Honey on your skin?

Honey binds moisture into the skin. It is full of antioxidants, moisturizing, and helpful for sun damage.

It absorbs impurities and dirt from the skin, so it’s also great for acne.

Oatmeal:

Oatmeal is very gentle on the skin, a natural exfoliator, and relieves dryness

Organic Yogurt;

Yogurt hydrates the skin, and can improve the skin tone. It contains enzymes and lactic acid which promotes healthy skin, smoothes fine lines, and tightens pores.

Strawberries:

Strawberries contain Vitamin C which tighten and brighten the skin. They are also a source of Alpha Hydroxy Acid, a natural exfoliator.

Lemons: Use lemons and honey as a facial, to moisturize the skin, tone and fade brown spots.

Add  moisturizing essential oils such as Lavender or Geranium to the honey oatmeal facial.  Also a few drops of olive oil, almond oil, or grape seed oil

Tip:  Make sure ingredients are free of preservatives, which can add impurities or bacteria to the skin.

I make it fresh every time to avoid spoilage of ingredients

Test recipes for skin sensitivity before using

Basic recipe for 1 treatment:

1 Tablespoon Oats  (Add a small amount of hot water to soften the oats)

1/2 tsp. Honey

1 tsp. yogurt

1 tsp. Mashed strawberries

Mix ingredients and apply to face for 10-15 minutes

Replace yogurt and strawberries with 2 drops Lavender and one of the oils

For Honey and Lemon:

1 Tablespoon honey

Squeeze a thin slice of lemon

I put this on my face, neck and hands  for 10 minutes, to fade spots from sun damage.

Enjoy!
