Cons:
Sticky. Drizzles. Gets in your hair if you use it at night
I started using honey as a spot treatment a few weeks ago on my red spots and on zits before and after I have popped them. I know popping zits is a big no no, but if you're like me and can't really resist, than applying honey on the spot afterwards helps relieve redness. I've found that when I put honey on a what looks to be an emerging pimple, it will turn into a white head. I leave the honey on my acne marks/red spots for a couple hours or almost a whole day If I don't have plans/lazy sunday/whenever I'm free. Leaving it on the spots for a couple hours relieves the redness fairly quickly-within 3-5 days for me. If you can't leave it on all day, try all night, that is helpful too!! For ladies/gents with long hair you might want to put your hair up if you're going to apply it at night though! I've woken up with a sticky mess of locks a few times :(
I would definitely start using honey as a treatment for less severe cases of acne! It's extremely beneficial and not harsh on my skin like prescription brands.

This is by far my favorite homade face mask ever! I have tried SO many and this is the only one that gave me the best results! How I use it: I use pure clover honey and apply it all over my face before I go to sleep. Just put a towell over your pillow and tie your hair back and leave it on overnight. I feel like the longer you keep it on, the better the results will be! My skin had alot of acne scars from previous blemishes and I had 4 active pimples and they have became less red and are pretty much gone!! Definently recommend this to anyone and everyone!(:

Instead of spending a fortune on expensive products that don't do what they say will do, the answer is right in your pantry. Forget about all those pretentious brand names that give you false hopes of having clear skin, honey is nature's gift to you:)

Pros:
smells good
my face feels like baby skin
taste good
my face looks brighter
Cons:
a little sticky, cant wear it to bed.
so ive only been using this for a few days.. but my skin looked so much better after just the first use! i used regular honey from the grocery store... it itched like crazy and made my face a lil red. but my skin still looked good. then i read on here that i should be using raw honey.. so i went and got some. it doesnt itch anymore! it feels great. i dont heat it up, just rub it on my face and the heat from your skin will melt it. i wear it for about an hour while watching tv or reading at night. then rinse off, tone, moisturize. ill post in a week and let you know how its going:)

it is a little messy and the first time you use it it is itchy but not badly.
it works very well but it does not work over night you have to use it non stop for at least a week for it to work.

best Mask
Honey seems to work the best on me in drying up a pimple, and by pimple, I mean fairly large. I have very oily skin, but this does not make me feel oily after I take it off. I of course only use raw honey from a health food store. Honey is so wonderful for many different things. Don't hesitate to smear this stuff all over your face, no matter what type of skin you have. I have tried the vinegar w/ the mother, but it doesn't do as much for me as the honey. Put the honey on all over your face or a spot treatment, say for about 30 minutes. Like other on the spot acne treatments, this is not going to cause the skin to peel or dry it out at all. I am allergic to almost everything I use, but this stuff is the best.

raw honey
I love this stuff. it makes skin so soft and smooth and helps with scarring. I do a mask once a week and leave on for about 30-45 minutes. it really has made a huge difference in my complexion. Make sure you get raw honey!

like it
This is the best thing for my sensitive skin. I've been using raw honey as a cleanser/mask. i wet my face and then i rub the honey into my skin and let it sit for like 5-15 minutes and then i wash it off. actually i use it as a spot treatment too 😠it seems like it gets rid of the pimple just not the cysts. but overall i like it

Recommend using raw, local stuff
Backstory: I used to do way too much to my face, the whole "3-step program" crap which just broke me out worse. I'd tried just about everything and finally gave up on all the "systems" and store-bought "miracles".
Now, gentle cleanser at night (I use Simple because there isn't anything bad in it) to take off makeup and just a damp washcloth in the morning. I followed each with Lush's Grease Lightning as an acne fighter/moisturizer (I've been battling acne for half my life). But, once fall weather kicked in, it wasn't enough moisture. I was super dry.
I'd also been using the honey cinnamon mask, which added some moisture for the rest of the night but didn't last any longer. I thought, man, is there any possible way for me to use plain, raw honey as a night moisturizer without it being so sticky?
Yes. Yes there is. I mixed a pencil-eraser-sized amount of Naked Raw honey with the same amount of this 10% benzoyl peroxide cream which I got for $1.50 at Dollar General. It's a little tacky, but it's doable. It's nowhere near as bad as lipgloss. Your hair won't stick to it if the wind blows it on your face. About a week after I started this (instead of the Grease Lightning at night), I added a tiny bit of coconut oil for added moisture. It's not necessary, but it doesn't seem to hinder, either. The only thing is that you really need to rub this stuff in or else it will just sit on your face. However, my face is clearer than it has been since I was 10, and that's really saying something.
Pros:
Clears up red spots within a few days of use.
Relieves a pimple after you have popped it
